Call x and y those angles. If they are complementary, then their sum equals 90°:

x + y = 90°

y = 90° - x

The ratio of them is 5 to 1. So,

x/y = 5/1

x/(90° - x) = 5/1

x = 5 * (90° - x)

x = 450° - 5x

x + 5x = 450°

6x = 450°

x = 450°/6

x = 75°

The measure of the other angle is

y = 90° - 75°

y = 15°

The angles are 75° and 15°.

I hope it helps. =)

Phantasy [73]
If one inch = 2.54 centimeters, then 45 centimeters divided by 2.54 centimeters will give you the amount of inches the piece of wood needs to be.

45/2.54 = 17.72  ---- Rounded to the nearest quarter, would be 17.75 inches.

Can someone answer this for me

The linear equation in standard form is:

6x - 7y = -11

Which is the last option.

<h3>How to get the equation of the line?</h3>

The line in slope-intercept form is written as:

y = a*x + b

We can see that the line passes through the points (-3, -1) and (1/2, 2), then the slope is:

a = \frac{2 - (-1)}{1/2 - (-3)}  = \frac{3}{3.5}  = \frac{6}{7}

Then we can write:

y = (6/7)*x + b

To find the value of b, we use the first point. It means that when x = -3, the value of y is -1, then we get:

-1 = (6/7)*-3 + b

-1 + 18/7 = b

-7/7 + 18/7 = b

11/7 = b

Then the equation is:

y = (6/7)*x + 11/7

If we multiply both sides by 7 we get:

7y = 6x + 11

Now we move the term with "x" to the left:

7y - 6x = 11

That is the line in standard form.

If we multiply both sides by -1, we get the last option:

6x - 7y = -11
