Step-by-step explanation:

A supplementary angle is an angle that is 180 degrees. We are given two angles that add up to 180, but we need to solve for x first.

The first step is to solve both angles. We know that both angles added together are supplementary, so they are equal to 180.

4x + 8 = unknown angle

6x + 3 = unknown angle

(4x + 8) + (6x + 3) = 180

Because we know a supplementary angle is 180 degrees, we can solve for x to find both angles.

Solve for x.

(4x + 8) + (6x + 3) = 180

10x + 11 = 180

10x = 169

x = 16.9

Now, we know the value of x, so we plug in x for both angles to determine which angle is smaller.

4x + 8

4(16.9) + 8

67.6 + 8 = 75.6 degrees

and the other angle

6x + 3

6(16.9) + 3

101.4 + 3 = 104.4 degrees

Now we know that the smaller angle is 75.6 degrees.

Also, to make sure the math is correct, when plugging in both numbers after finding x, they should add to 180.

75.6 + 104.4 = 180 so we know they are supplementary for sure.

Good luck!

Answer:

OD. 75.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two supplementary angles (4x + 8) and (6x + 3)

Solve x :

(4x + 8) + (6x + 3) = 180

4x + 8 + 6x + 3 = 180

10x + 11 = 180

10x = 169

x = 16.9

Find the two angles:

4x + 8 = 4(16.9) + 8 = 75.6°

6x + 3 = 6(16.9) + 3 = 104.4°

smaller angle = 75.6°

Check:

75.6° + 104.4° = 180°

Convert this number given in standard form into scientific notation. 0. 0000069 What is the value in scientific notation? 0. 69

Len [333]

Scientific notation is used so that the order of the number is known in first glance. The value of the given number in scientific notation is given by: Option B: $6.9 \times 10^{-6}$

<h3>How does scientific notations work?</h3>

The number is written in the form $a \times 10^b$ where we have $1 \leq a < 10$

The number b shows the order, which is the most important figure for which scientific notation is used. It tells us how much order large or small a value is in powers of 10. We can for a time, ignore the value of 'a' for two comparable quantities and only compare their orders(this type of comparison is useful when difference is too big, like size of human to size of a star etc sort of comparisons).

Scientific notations have some of the profits as:

Better readability due to compact representation
Its value in terms of power of 10 is known, which helps in easy comparison of quantities differing by a large value.

For the given case, the number in consideration is 0.0000069

Rewriting it in fraction form, we get:

$0.0000069 = \dfrac{69}{10000000} = \dfrac{69}{10^7} = 69 \times 10^{-7} = 6.9 \times 10 \times 10^{-7}\\\\0.0000069 = 6.9 \time 10 ^{-7 +1} \\0.0000069 = 6.9\times 10^{-6}$
