The ratio of two complementary angles is 5 to 1. what are the angles?

1 answer:

6 0

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. =)

Step-by-step explanation:

The following prices for the same make and model used guitar for his work are :

$699.20,$700.30,$680.50,$700.30, and $800.25.

Mean of ungrouped data = sum of observations/total no of observations

$\text{Mean}=\dfrac{699.20+700.30+680.50+700.30+800.25}{5}\\\\\text{Mean}=\$716.11$

For median, arrange the given data in ascending order.

$680.50, $699.20, $700.30, $700.30, $800.25

Median = middle value

Median = $700.30

The value that comes most often is called mode.

$700.30 comes two times. So, mode is $700.30

Hence, Mean = $716.11, median = $700.30 and mode = $700.30

Help asap idek what to do

daser333 [38]

So to solve this question, your goal is to find out how the way it is solved is not correct.

Your answer would be: On the third line, the student adds the 8 to both sides instead of subtracting. The way the initial equation is given is

y-(-8)=-6(x-2). After distributing the six, the student should make the 8 positive because subtracting a negative makes a positive. After solving, the equation should look like: y(+8)=-6x+12, so you would subtract the 8 from both sides instead of adding it, and solve from there.
