First, write an equation system for the problem
For example, x represents the first angle and y represents the second angle
An equation for "t<span>he measure of an angle is seventeen times the measure of a complementary angle" is
</span>∴ <span>x = 17y
The sum of complementary angle is 90</span>°. It can be written as<span>
</span>∴ x + y = 90°
<span>
Second, use subtitution method to find the value of x and y
Subtitute x with 17y
x + y = 90</span>°
17y + y = 90°
18y = 90°
y = 90°/18
y = 5°

Subtitute y with 5°
x = 17y
x = 17(5)
x = 85°

The measure of each angle is 5° and 85°

Ginnie plans to paint a wall. She measures its height and width. She finds that she needs enough paint to cover 8 square meters.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The 8 square meters represent the product of the height by the width of the wall and therefore, its area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ginnie is going to paint a wall and measures the height and the width, the walls are usually in the form of a rectangle or square. To find the area of both we need to multiply the height by the width (in the case of the square both are the same) and this will give us the total amount of paint that we need to paint the wall.

In this example, Ginnie finds that she needs enough paint to cover 8 square meters, therefore, these 8 square meters represent the product of the height by the width (that we don't know but it doesn't matter) of the wall and therefore, its area.

What is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit of a freezer kept at-20 C.? NEED EQUATION EQUATION EQUATION.plz
LenKa [72]
So you would have -20C. Then you would multiply that by 1.8 which would give you -36 then you would add 32 which gives you your final answer which is -4 F

Sin α = 21/29, α lies in quadrant II, and cos β = 15/17, β lies in quadrant I Find sin (α - β).
Sever21 [200]
\sin(\alpha-\beta)=\sin\alpha\cos\beta-\cos\alpha\sin\beta

\sin\alpha=\dfrac{21}{29}\implies \cos^2\alpha=1-\sin^2\alpha=\dfrac{400}{841}

Since \alpha lies in quadrant II, we have \cos\alpha, so

\cos\alpha=-\sqrt{\dfrac{400}{841}}=-\dfrac{20}{29}

\cos\beta=\dfrac{15}{17}\implies\sin^2\beta=1-\cos^2\beta=\dfrac{64}{289}

\beta lies in quadrant I, so \sin\beta>0 and

\sin\beta=\sqrt{\dfrac{64}{289}}=\dfrac8{17}

So

\sin(\alpha-\beta)=\dfrac{21}{29}\dfrac{15}{17}-\left(-\dfrac{20}{29}\right)\dfrac8{17}=\dfrac{475}{493}

Classify the figure in as many ways as possible.
Dima020 [189]
The answer is D.

This figure has 4 sides which makes it a quadrilateral.

This figure has 2 sets of parallel sides which makes it a parallelogram.

This figure has 4 equal sides which makes it a rhombus.

This figure has 4 right angles which makes it a rectangle.

And this figure has both 4 equal sides and 4 equal angles which makes it a square.

To make it easier, all squares are: quadrilaterals, parallelograms, rhombuses, rectangles and of course squares.
