Answer:

20°

Step-by-step explanation:

One way of doing this is to find the constant of proportionality, k:

8k + 6k + 4k = 90°    Then 18k = 90°, and k turns out to be 90/18, or 5.

Then the angles are 8(5), 6(5) and 4(5).  The smallest of these angles is thus 20°

let's recall that the sum of all interior angles in a triangle is 180°.

we know the angles are in a 8:6:4 ratio, so we simply divide 180 by (8+6+4) and then distribute accordingly.

\bf 8:6:4\qquad \qquad \left( 8\cdot \cfrac{180}{8+6+4} \right) : \left( 6\cdot \cfrac{180}{8+6+4} \right) : \left( 4\cdot \cfrac{180}{8+6+4} \right) \\\\\\ (8\cdot 10):(6\cdot 10):(4\cdot 10)\implies 80~:~60~:~\stackrel{\textit{smallest}}{40}

A fact family is basically just different equations with the same numbers getting the same/different numbers as answers you might say... 
this will make more sense: 
5x8=40
8x5=40
40/8=5

Angles X and Y are supplementary. Angle X is 3 times the measure of angle Y. What is the measure of angle X?
evablogger [386]
<span>supplementary angles sum = 180
</span>lets x  = measure of angle Y

x + 3x = 180
4x = 180
x = 45

angle Y = 45
angle X = 3 x 45 = 135

answer
Angle X = 135

The Venn diagram shows event A and event B comprised of outcomes from the same sample space. The probability of event A is given
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The probability of an event is a number describing the chance that the event will happen. An event that is certain to happen has a probability of 1. An event that cannot possibly happen has a probability of zero. If there is a chance that an event will happen, then its probability is between zero and 1

A=45
