We know by definition that complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. We can set up an equation using the ration given:

17x+13x=90, with x representing the amount you need to multiply the ratio by to get 90.

17x+13x=90
30x=90
x=3

We now know that the number we multiply the ratio by is 3. The smaller number in the ratio is 13, and so therefore we multiply it by 3.

3*13=39

The answer is 39 degrees.

PLEASE HELP!! 10 POINTS

Check the picture below.

we know B is the midpoint of AC, and we know ED is 4 units, since AD is a total of 8, then AE must also be 4 units, meaning point E is the midpoint of AD.

since E is the midpoint of AD and B is the midpoint of AC, then EB is the midsegment of the triangle, and is parallel to the base DC.

∡ABE = 60°

∡AEB = 90°

Solve the problems<br><br> A) X/840 = 1/21<br><br> B) 14/X = 16/20
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) x/840=1/21

x=(1/21)*840=840/21=40

x=40

------------------

B) 14/x=16/20

simplify 16/20 into 4/5

14/x=4/5

x=14/(4/5)=(14/1)(5/4)=70/4

simplify

x=35/2
