Answer:

2 and -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y ∴ 4x -2y =-16......................Eqn 1

and x+y=-1.................................Eqn 2

this ⇒x=-1-y. Substitute the value of x to be=-1 -y and putting in Eqn 1 yields the following 4(-1-y)-2y =-16 0r -4-4y-2y=-16

⇒-4-6y=-16 0r =-6y=-12 ∴y is 2

⇒ and x is -3

Angle A and Angle B are Complementary Angles. If Angle A measures 40 degrees, what is the measure of Angle B? *
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If angle A and angle B are complementary, that would mean that their sum is 90 degrees. A + B = 90 . We know that angle A is 40, so 40 + B = 90. It becomes a one step equation. Subtract both sides by 40. 90 - 40 = 50. Angle B is equal to 50 degrees.

A triangle with sides of lengths 16, 30, and 35 is a right triangle. O A. True O B. False ​
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

B false

Step-by-step explanation:

The Theorem states that for a right triangle,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the two shorter sides.

So does our given lengths work? Let's see:

16^2+30^2=35^2

256+900=1225

1156=1225

1156≠1225

And as we can see, the two sides do not equal each other, so this means the sides do not make a right triangle.
