Answer: the length of the other side is 16.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle has 2 equal and parallel sides. Each of the 4 angles in a rectangle is 90°. This means that the diagonal of the rectangle divides it into 2 equal right angle triangles and the diagonal represents the hypotenuse of both right triangles.

To determine the length of the other side, x, we would apply Pythagoras theorem. It is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore

17² = x² + 4²

289 = x² + 16

x² = 289 - 16 = 273

x = √273

x = 16.5 units

<ABD has a measure of 36 degrees. a)find the compliment of the angle b)find the supplement of that angle

victus00 [196]

A) The complement of an angle is the other angle that can be added to the original to add up to 90 degrees. The complement of <ABD would be 90-36=54

b) The supplement of an angle is whatever number can be added to the original to add up to 180 degrees. The supplement of <ABD would be 180-36=144
