Answer:

Minimum number of calls = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets name the five people as A,B,C,D and E.

<u>On the night before ,each person talks to every other person atleast once that means A would talk to B,C,D and E atleast once.</u>

Lets start with A. He would talk to other 4 people which means there would be 4 phone calls made.

Now lets take B. He can talk to A,C,D and E. But  A has already talked to C therefore to get minimum number of phone calls , B need not call A again. So he calls only C,D and E.

In case of C using similar logic he need to talk to only D and E.

For D , he talks to E alone.

E does not have to talk to anyone as he has already talked to everyone atleast once.

Total calls = 4 + 3 + 2 + 1

                    = 10

Find each angle measure.<br>​
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer for 11-13: m<2: 150, m<6: 150, m<7: 150

Step-by-step explanation:

There is 180 degrees in a straight line. If one part of the line (angle) is 30 degrees, then the other part is 150. If you look at the image, you would see that m<2 is congruent to m<6 ,which means same, and m<7 is congruent to m<3.

Answer for 14-16:  m<EBG: 150, m<AGH: 150, m<DHF: 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

4x = 150               2x + 50 = 150

x = 37.5                2x = 150 - 50

4(37.5) = 150        2x = 100

                             x = 50

                          2(50) + 50 =

                            100 + 50 = 150
