Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees-
Let x = "the angle"
supplement angle = 2x + 12 // 12 more than twice the measurement of "the angle"
Supplement angle + "the angle" = 180 degrees
(2x + 12) + x = 180 degrees // 2x + 12 is the supplement angle
3x + 12 = 180 // Simplify
3x = 168 // Subtract 12 from both sides
x = 56 degrees // Divide both sides by 3
The measure of the angle is 56° and its supplement is 124°
Answer:
The ratio of boys to girls to 5:7
Let the number of boys be 5x
Let the number of girls be 7x
5x = 30
x = 6
Now just plug in 6 for the x in 7x
and number of girls 7 x 6 = 42

The given question describes a right triangle with with one of the angles as 20 degrees and the side adjacent to the angle 20 degrees is of length 5,000 feet. We are looking for the length of the side opposite the angle 20 degrees.
Let the required length be x, then
Therefore, the height of the airplane above the tower is 1,819.85 feet.
