Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Complementary angles add to 90 degrees
8x+27 + 6x-21 = 90
Combine like terms
14x+6 = 90
Subtract 6 from each side
14x+6-6 = 90-6
14x = 84
Divide by 14
14x/14 = 84/14
x=6
We want angle B
B = 6x-21 = 6*6-21 =36-21 = 15
Answer:
Reason:
1) assumptions given
2) RUTS is a rectangle
3) RUTS is a rectangle
4) because:
+) ∠STU and ∠SRU are the right angles
+) RU = ST; UT = RS
=> ΔURS ≅ ΔSTU (SAS)
5) because ΔURS ≅ ΔSTU (SAS) => ∠USR = ∠SUT
Step-by-step explanation:
C. Workers to total population
The perimeter of triangle is 3(w+8) = 3w + 24
The perimeter of rectangle is w+w+2w+2w = 6w
Set them equal to solve for w:
6w = 3w +24
3w = 24
w = 8
