Answer:

The man wins 9 times and looses 11 times in the rock - paper-scissor game.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that in the game:

Number of times  man wins the games = x times

Number of times  man loses the games = y times

Total number of attempts = 20

Points after winning = 5

Points after loosing = 2

Now, according to the question:

       x  + y =20

and 5 x + 2 y = 67

Now, from (1) y = 20-x,     put in (2)

5x + 2y = 67       ⇒           5x + 2(20 -x)  = 67

or, 5x -2x = 67 - 40

or, 3x = 27

⇒ x = 27/3 = 9

then y = 20 - x = 20 - 9 = 11

⇒ x = 9 and y = 11 is the solution of the given system.

Hence, the man wins 9 times and looses 11 times in the rock - paper-scissor game.

Give 1 pair of Vertical and 1 pair of Supplementary angles
mojhsa [17]

Solution:

Vertical angles are a pair of opposite angles formed by intersecting lines. re vertical angles. Vertical angles are always congruent.

These two angles (140° and 40°) are Supplementary Angles because they add up to 180°:

Notice that together they make a straight angle.

Hence,

From the image

The following pairs form vertical angles

\begin{gathered} \angle1=\angle3(vertical\text{ angles)} \\ \angle2=\angle4(vertical\text{ angles)} \\ \angle5=\angle7(vertical\text{ angles)} \\ \angle6=\angle6(vertical\text{ angles)} \end{gathered}

Hence,

One pair of the vertical angles is ∠1 and ∠3

Part B:

Two angles are said to be supplementary when they ad together to give 180°

Hence,

From the image,

The following pairs are supplementary angles

\begin{gathered} \angle5+\angle6=180^0(supplementary\text{ angles)} \\ \angle5+\angle8=180^0(supplementary\text{ angles)} \\ \angle7+\angle8=180^0(supplementary\text{ angles)} \\ \angle6+\angle7=180^0(supplementary\text{ angles)} \\ \angle1+\angle2=180^0(supplementary\text{ angles)} \\ \angle1+\angle4=180^0(supplementary\text{ angles)} \\ \angle2+\angle3=180^0(supplementary\text{ angles)} \\ \angle3+\angle4=180^0(supplementary\text{ angles)} \end{gathered}

Hence,

One pair of supplementary angles is ∠5 and ∠6
