The slope
Of the line is -4/3
There are 3 right triangles.
Long leg short leg hypotenuse
Large ? ? 32+18 = 50 m
Medium 32 m x ?
Small x 18 m ?
Similar triangles: small & medium
short leg / long leg
x/32 = 18/x
x*x = 18 * 32
x² = 576
√x² = √576
x = 24
Long leg short leg hypotenuse
Large ? → 40 m ? 32+18 = 50 m
Medium 32 m 24 m ? → 40 m
Small 24 m 18 m ? → 30 m
solve hypotenuse of medium and small using Pythagorean theorem.
32² + 24² = c²
1024 + 576 = c²
1600 = c²
√1600 = √c²
40 = c
24² + 18² = c²
576 + 324 = c²
900 = c²
√900 = √c²
30 = c
Solve for the long leg of the large right triangle using ratio and proportion
medium and large: long leg / hypotenuse
32/40 = x/50
32*50 = 40 * x
1600 = 40x
1600/40 = x
40 = x

Answer:
a. 35 degrees
b. 145 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Since the two base angles of this triangle are congruent, we can conclude that the triangle is <em>isosceles, </em>which means that the two base angles and sides are congruent.
Now, knowing that information, we can subtract 110 from 180 (the sum of all interior angles in a triangle) and we get 70. But this isn't our answer. This is the sum of both base angles. Since the base angles are congruent, we can divide the 70 by 2 to get the measure of ONE base angle, which is 35 degrees.
b. There are two approaches to solve this problem. I have worked both out.
1) We can use the Exterior Angle Theorem, which states that the sum of the interior angles is equal to the exterior angle. We can add 110 to 35, so we get 145 degrees as the measure of <1.
2) The second approach is supplementary angles. Since we see that one of the base angles and <1 is on the same line, we can subtract 35 from 180 to find the measure of <1 to get 145 degrees.
Either way you use, you get the correct answer. Hope this helped!
