An angle measures 40.2° more than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

<h3>Solving for the measurements of Complementary Angles</h3><h3>Answer:</h3>

$24.9^{\circ}$ and $65.1^{\circ}$

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

Recall that Angles that are complementary to each other add up to $90^{\circ}$ .

Let $a$ be the measure of the complementary angle.

If an angle is $40.2^{\circ}$ more than its complementary angle, the measure of that angle is $a +40.2$ . The sum of both angles are expressed $a +(a +40.2)$ but since the have to add to $90$ as they are complementary, $a +(a +40.2) = 90$ .

Solving for $a$ :

$a +(a +40.2) = 90 \\ a +a +40.2 = 90 \\ 2a +40.2 = 90 \\ 2a +40.2 -40.2 = 90 -40.2 \\ 2a = 49.8 \\ \frac{2a}{2} = \frac{49.8}{2} \\ a = 24.9$

Since the other angle measures $a +40.2$ , we can plug in the value of $a$ to find the measure of the angle.

Evaluating $a +40.2$ :

$a +40.2 \\ 24.9 +40.2 \\ 65.1$

The measure of the angles are $24.9^{\circ}$ and $65.1^{\circ}$

Neko [114]

Answer:there are 16 goats and 22 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of goats in the field.

Let y represent the number if chicken in the field.

After a quick count, you determine there are 38 heads and 108 feet in the field. A goat has one head. A chicken also has one head. It means that

x + y = 38

A goat has four legs. A chicken has 2 legs. It means that

4x + 2y = 108 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 38 - y into equation 1, it becomes

4(38 - y) + 2y = 108

152 - 4y + 2y = 108

- 4y + 2y = 108 - 152

- 2y = - 44

y = - 44/ - 2

y = 22

x = 38 - y = 38 - 22

x = 16

Answer:

The equations represent the line that is parallel to 3x - 4y = 7 and pass through the point (-4,-2) are:

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

$3x - 4y = -4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Given the line

3x - 4y = 7

writing in the slope-intercept form

4y = 3x - 7

dividing both sides by 4

4y/4 = 3/4x - 7/4

y = 3/4x - 7/4

Now, comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = 3/4x - 7/4

The slope of the line m = 3/4

We know that parallel lines have the same slopes.

Therefore, the slope of the parallel line is: 3/4

now we have,

The point (-4, -2)

The slope m of parallel line = 3/4

Given the point-slope form of the line equation

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

where m is the slope of the line and (x₁, y₁) is the point

substituting (-4, -2) and m = 3/4 in the point-slope form of line equation

$\:y-\left(-2\right)=\frac{3}{4}\left(x-\left(-4\right)\right)$

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

Thus, the equation in the point-slope form of the line equation is:

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

Simplifying the equation

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

Subtract 3 from both sides

$y+2-2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)-2$

$y=\frac{3}{4}x+1$

Multiplying the equation by 4

$4y = 3x + 4$

$3x - 4y = -4$

Therefore, the equations represent the line that is parallel to 3x - 4y = 7 and pass through the point (-4,-2) are:

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

$3x - 4y = -4$

A woman 5 ft tall walks at the rate of 7.5 ft/sec away from a streetlight that is 10 ft above the ground. At what rate is the ti

lesya [120]

Height of the woman = 5 ft
Rate at which the woman is walking = 7.5 ft/sec
Let us assume the length of the shadow = s
Le us assume the <span>distance of the woman's feet from the base of the streetlight = x
</span>Then
s/5 = (s + x)/12
12s = 5s + 5x
7s = 5x
s = (5/7)x
Now let us differentiate with respect to t
ds/dt = (5/7)(dx/dt)
We already know that dx/dt = 7/2 ft/sec
Then
ds/dt = (5/7) * (7/2)
= (5/2)
= 2.5 ft/sec
From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the rate at which the tip of her shadow is moving is 2.5 ft/sec.
