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

Answer:

∠1 - 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠1 - 40°

b/c it's a right triangle and we have two angles given, 50° and 90°. Add them and subtract by 180° and get 40°.

∠2 - 140°

b/c an exterior (outside) angle is equal to the two most isolated / farthest angles added. The two most is angles are 105° and 35°, add them and get 140°.

∠3 - 40°

b/c ∠'s 1 and 3 are vertical angles meaning they're equal so since ∠1 is 40°, so is ∠3.

∠4 -

b/c ∠' s 2 and 4 are vertical angles meaning they're equal so since ∠2 is 140°, so is ∠4.

∠5 - 35°

b/c we have two angles, 105° and 40°. Add them and subtract by 180° and get 35°.

~~

I hope that helps you out!!

There are 2000 pounds in a ton how can you write 2000 with and exponent
Makovka662 [10]
In scientific notation, it would be 2x10^3.
An easy trick to help remember when it is a multiple of 10 is that you do the numbers that aren't zero (2) times 10 and the exponent is how ever many zeros there are after the other numbers (3).
