The sum of a pair of complementary angles are always 90 degrees. So this problem can be expressed in the equation x + 5x = 90 where x is representative of the smaller angle. By solving this equation:

x + 5x = 90
6x = 90
x = 15

Therefore the smaller angle has a value of 15 degrees and the larger angle has a value of 75 degrees.

Hope that helped : )

Answer:

15 degrees & 75 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A complementary angles are angles that add up to be 90 degrees. The ration of one of those angles to the other is 1:5.

One angle will be x degrees, and the other will be 5x degrees. Together, they  will be 90 degrees. We can turn that into this equation:

5x + x = 90

6x = 90

x = 15

So, since x is 15 degrees, one of the angles is 15 degrees, and the other is 5 times that, or 75 degrees.

Factoring trinomials
Tcecarenko [31]

c^22c^2 + 13c +21 \\4c^2 + 13(2)c + 42\\(2c + 6)(2c+7)\\(c+3)(2c+7)


This is a way to factoring trinomials (there exist different equivalent methods).

Multiply the trinomial but the term accompanying  c^2. This is the second line. Then, you could take the square of the 4c^2, ant try to create a factor () () that will correspond to the expression in the second line. That is, we want 4c^2 + 13(2) c + 42 = (2c + ?) (2c + ?)

In ? we put the corresponding numbers that, if we multiply them we will obtain 42, and if we add them we will obtain 13. This numbers are 6 and 7. Then, we have (2c + 6) (2c +7)

The last step is divide by the number that we multipy in the first step.

Explain what can happen if you line up the digits incorrectly when you rewrite additional problem
Natasha_Volkova [10]
So basiclly you will end up getting the wrong answer. For example 234+23.
If you lined it up incorrectly you might get 464. It is actually 257. This is wy you should line it up correctly.

How does the image triangle compare to the pre-image triangle?
BartSMP [9]

A triangle undergoes a sequence of transformations.

First, the triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 1/3 about the origin. Then the triangle is reflected over the x-axis. Finally, the triangle is translated left 3 units and up 2 units.
