The larger of two complementary angles is 6 degrees less than 7 times the smaller. Find the measure of the smaller angle.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Allisa [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two complementary angles is 90.

Let the two angles be x and y.

If x and y are complementary, then x+y = 90

If the larger of two complementary angles is 6 degrees less than 7 times the smaller then y = 7x-6 (y is the larger and x is the smaller)

Substituting y = 7x-6 into the formula above;

x+7x-6 = 90

8x - 6 = 90

8x = 90+6

8x = 96

x = 96/8

x = 12°

Hence the measure of the smaller angle is 12°

Triangle A has side lengths of 10 units, 24, units, and 26 units. Ryan cut out 2 copies of triangle A and joined them together t
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Perimeter of Rectangle will be 68 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of side 1 = 10 units

Length of side 2 = 24 units

Length of side 3 = 26 units

Now we will check whether the triangle A is right angle triangle or not;

(Length of side 3)^{2} = 26^2 = 676

(Length of side 2)^{2} = 24^2 = 576

(Length of side 1)^{2} = 10^2 = 100

Now From above we can see that;

676 = 576 + 100

Hence we can say ;

(Length of side 3)^{2} = ](Length of side 2)^{2} + (Length of side 1)^{2}

By Converse of Pythagoras theorem.

"Hence When the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to sum of the square of other two sides we can say that triangle is a right angled triangle."

Now Given:

Ryan cut out 2 copies of triangle A and joined them together to form a rectangle.

So we can say that the hypotenuse side of the triangle will become diagonal of the rectangle and other two side will become length and width.

Now;

Length of rectangle = 24 units

Width of rectangle = 10 units.

We need to find the perimeter of rectangle.

Now Perimeter of rectangle is 2 times sum of Length and width.

framing in equation form we get;

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+w) = 2\times (24+10) = 2\times 34 =68 units.

Hence Perimeter of Rectangle will 68 units.

Point-slope of line's equation (-3,-7),(-8-11)
Nataly_w [17]
Steps:
1. Find the slope by using the slope formula
Y2-Y1
---------
X2-X1

-11 + 7
----------
-8 + 3
2.
-11 + 7= -4
-8 + 3= -5
3. Your slope is 4/5 (because you have to turn two negatives into a positive)
4. Now you do the point-slope formula
Y-Y1= m(x-x1)
Y +7=4/5 (x +3)
