Answer:

The smaller board would be 2.75 feet and the longer one would be 10.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, assume the shorter board is equal to x. Next, we would know that the longer board would be equal to x + 7.5. Using these two assumptions, we can add the lengths together, set equal to 13 and then solve for x.

x + (x + 7.5) = 13

2x + 7.5 = 13

2x = 5.5

x = 2.75

Now that we have the length of the shorter board, we can add 7.5 to it to get the larger one.

2.75 + 7.5 = 10.25

In Exercises 3 and 4, find the values of x and y <br> plz help!!!
jonny [76]

Answer:

x = 20°

y = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle given on close inspection, it is an equilateral triangle.

Each angle in an equilateral triangle is equal. Likewise, each side is equal.

Thus;

16 + y = 46

y = 46 - 16

y = 30

The triangle that has angle 80°, the other complete angle is 60° because it's an angle of an equilateral triangle.

Thus, the smaller angle there is;

180 - (80 + 60) = 40°

Because sum of angles in a triangle is 180°

Now, x + 40 = 60°

Since that's also an angle of an equilateral triangle.

x = 60 - 40

x = 20°
