Answer:
(14a + 3, 21a + 4) = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
To prove that the greatest common divisor of two numbers is 1, we use the Euclidean algorithm.
1. In this case, and applying the algorithm we would have:
(14a + 3, 21a + 4) = (14a + 3, 7a + 1) = (1, 7a + 1) = 1
2. Other way of proving this statement would be that we will need to find two integers x and y such that 1 = (14a + 3) x + (21a + 4) y
Let's make x = 3 and y = -2
Therefore, (14a + 3, 21a + 4) = 1

∡a has a vertical angle sibling of 40°, and vertical angles are always congruent.
∡b is the 3rd angle in a triangle, the other two are 40° and 90°, recall all interior angles in a triangle add up to 180°.
∡c is a linear angle, namely an angle on the same flat-line as another, and linear angles always add up to 180°.
