Answer = 72°

Complementary angles always add up to be 90.
We can write the smaller angle as x and the bigger angle as 4x, because it is 4 times bigger than x.

x + 4x = 90
5x = 90
x = 18.

This proves the smaller angle, or angle B, is 18. We know angle A is 4 times as big as 18, so we can multiply 18 x 4 to get 72.

Double check = 72 + 18 = 90

How can you use division to find the decimal equivalent of a rational number ?
Naily [24]

Answer:

Rational numbers' decimal representations either finish or repeat a pattern. Divide the top by the bottom, the numerator by the denominator to convert fractions to decimals, and if the division doesn't come out evenly, round off after a specific number of decimal places.

Let u be an angle in the 4th quadrant with cos u=8/9<br><br> Then sin u=
lutik1710 [3]
To solve for the last side of the triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem:
(8)^2 + x^2 = (9)^2
x = sqrt of 17
However, this is a NEGATIVE sqrt 17 because the terminal side is in quadrant 4, meaning that this side is under the X-axis and therefore negative.
Now that you know the side opposite of u in the triangle, do opposite/hypotenuse.
sin u = -(sqrt 17)/9

One customer pays $25 to have 2 pizzas delivered. Another
Arisa [49]

Answer:

7 pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for slope (rise/run) we can calculate how much one pizza cost.

\frac{58-25}{5-2} =\frac{33}{3}  = 11 dollars per pizza.

Take the $11 per pizza and divide it by $80 to get 7.2727 pizzas. Since you can not have .2727 of a pizza you round down to 7 pizzas.
