The measure of angle b is one-half the measure of its complement. What is the measure of b

Mathematics
1 answer:
nalin [4]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

b = 30 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are said to be complement of each other if their sum is 90 degrees

________________________

given

one angle is b

let other angle be x

given that  angle b is one-half the measure of its complement

thus, mathematically we can the above statement as

b = 1/2(x)

now sum of both the angle will be 90 degrees as they are complementary

b + x = 90

using b =  1/2(x)

=> 1/2(x) + x = 90

=> x/2 + x = 90

=> (x +2x)/2 = 90

=> 3x = 180

=> x = 180/3 = 60

thus,

b =  1/2(x) =  1/2(60) = 30

thus, measure of angle b is 30 degrees.

3/4x=-18 what is the answer?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

X= 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    3/4*x-(18)=0

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

           3

Simplify   —

           4

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  3        

 (— • x) -  18  = 0

  4        

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

         18     18 • 4

   18 =  ——  =  ——————

         1        4  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

3x - (18 • 4)     3x - 72

—————————————  =  ———————

      4              4  

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  3x - 72  =   3 • (x - 24)

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 3 • (x - 24)

 ————————————  = 0

      4      

Step  4  :

When a fraction equals zero :

4.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 3•(x-24)

 ———————— • 4 = 0 • 4

    4    

Now, on the left hand side, the  4  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  3  •  (x-24)  = 0

Equations which are never true :

4.2      Solve :    3   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.3      Solve  :    x-24 = 0

Add  24  to both sides of the equation :

                     x = 24

One solution was found :

                  x = 24

Solve for x<br><br>7x/2+5=8<br><br>o x=6/7<br><br>o x=26/7<br><br>o x=21/2<br><br>o x=91/2​
pshichka [43]

Answer:

x = 6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

7x/2+5=8

Subtract 5 from each side

7x/2+5-5=8-5

7x/2 = 3

Multiply each side by 2/7

2/7 * 7/2x = 3*2/7

x = 6/7

If the area of a circle is 20.4 units squared, what is the radius?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

r = 2.55

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the radius of a circle using the area is r = √A/π

with the r being the radius. the A being the area, and the π being pi (we'll use 3.14).

So the equation should look like this:

r = √(20.4/3.14)

Find the quotient of 20.4/3.14 and round to the nearest tenth

r = √6.5

Find the square root and round to the nearest hundredth

r = 2.55
