Geometry Question: BK bisects angle ABC and M angle ABK=28.3 degrees. Find M angle KBC and M angle ABC.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

$ABK = 28.3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$ABK = 28.3$

Required

Determine KBC

Since BK is a bisector of ABC at B,

this implies that:

$ABK = KBC$

Substitute 28.3 for ABK

$28.3 = ABK$

Reorder

$ABK = 28.3$

5. What is the<br> complement of the<br> supplement of a 110° <br> angle?

Slav-nsk [51]

<h2>Answer: 20°</h2>

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Supplementary angles sum up to 180 °

Complementary angles sum up to 90°.

The supplement of 110° = 180° - 110° = 70°

The complement of 70° = 90° - 70° = 20°

<u>Simplier version:</u>

The complement of the supplement of 110° = (90° - (180° - 110°))

= 20°
