Complementary angles mean that the sum adds up to 90 degrees.
We are given A and B are complementary, so
angle A + angle B = 90 (as stated in the solution).
Substituting angles, =>
3x-8 + 5x+10 = 90
group like terms
3x + 5x -8 +10 =90
simplify
8x + 2 =90
Subtract 2 from each side of the equal sign
8x +2 -2 = 90 -2
=>
8x = 88
divide by 8 on both sides
8x/8 = 88/8
x = 11

Substitute x=11 into angles A and B
angle A = 3x-8 = 3(11)-8 = 25 degrees
angle B = 5x+10 = 5(11)+10 = 65 degrees

Check supplementary angles
A+B = 25+65 = 90 => angles A & B are complementary, .... solution is good.

Complementary angles ⇒ the angles add up to 90°

∠A and ∠B are complementary ⇒ ∠A + ∠B = 90°

∠A + ∠B = 90°

Plug in the values for ∠A and ∠B:
(3x - 8) + (5x + 10) = 90

Open the brackets:
3x - 8 + 5x + 10 = 90

Combine like terms:
8x + 2 = 90

Subtract 2 from both sides:
8x = 88

Divide both sides by 8:
x = 11

Answer: x = 11

Problem A park has a large circle painted in the middle of the playground area. The circle is divided into 444 equal sections, a

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

25 $\pi\ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A large circle in the park has its middle part painted.

The circle is divided in 4 equal parts.

Radius of the circle = 10 meters

To find:

Area of each section of the circle, $A$ = ?

Solution:

Here, we need to find the area of the bigger circle first and then need to divide it into 4 equal parts to find out the answer.

First of all, let us have a look at the formula for area of a circle with given radius $r$ :

$Area = \pi r^2$

Here, $r = 10 m$

Putting the value in the above formula, we get:

So, area = $\pi 10^2 = 100\pi\ m^2$

Now, there are 4 equal parts of the circle, therefore area of each section will be equal.

Area of each section of the circle:

$\dfrac{100\pi}{4} = \bold{25 \pi}\ m^2$

You are on the south side of a river and you need to cross the river in order to get to a campsite. Not

Doss [256]

Answer:

Width of river = 0.25 mile

As length of river is not given , but it is given that campsite is located 1 mile east upstream, So length of river = 1 mile

Speed of mine in river while going upstream = 3 miles per hour

Speed of current as going Upstream = 1 miles per hour

Now Reduced speed of mine = Speed of mine in river while going upstream - Speed of current as going Upstream

= 3 - 1

= 2 miles per hour

1. There are two ways to reach campsite

(a) either walk 1 mile from starting point in east direction and then swim 0.25 mile in North direction to reach campsite.

(b) From the starting point Considering a right triangle having, base=1 mile and altitude = 0.25 mile, then finding the length of hypotenuse using formula = $\sqrt{(altitude)^2 + (Base)^2$

= $\sqrt{.25^2+1^2}$

=√1.0625

=1.03078(approx)

⇒ you must walk a distance of 1 mile in the east direction and then swim 0.25 mile north direction to reach directly at campsite.[shown in the diagram]
