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.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

200+3qq+400+q3q

200+3q²+400+3q²

3q²-3q²+400-200

q²=200

q²=200/2

q²=100

Verify the identity algebraically:<br> Csc(-x)tanx =-secx

weqwewe [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that

$\sin(-x) = -\sin x$

Therefore,

$\csc(-x) = \dfrac{1}{\sin(-x)} = -\dfrac{1}{\sin x}$

so

$\csc(-x)\tan x = \left(-\dfrac{1}{\sin x}\right)\left(\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}\right)$

$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= -\dfrac{1}{\cos x} = -\sec x$

Suppose that y varies inversely with x. Use the information to find k, and then choose the equation of variation. x = 1.2 when y

baherus [9]

Y = k/x where k is the constant of variation
y = 3 , x = 1.2 gives
3 = k/1.2
therefore
k = 3*1.2 = 3.6
and the required equation is

y = 3.6 / x

X²=169 extracting square root

ryzh [129]

Answer:

x = ± 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² = 169 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± $\sqrt{169}$ = ± 13

Since 13 × 13 = 169 and - 13× - 13 = 169
