② The complement of an angle. is 10 more than 3 times the angle. Find both

1 answer:

4 0

Let x be the angle. The complement is 3x + 10. The sum of two complementary angles is 90. So,
x + 3x + 10 = 90
4x + 10 = 90
4x = 80
x = 20
Plug x into the complement
3(20) + 10 = 70

The angle is 20 degrees and the complement is 70 degrees

Histograms are used to represent data, where the length of each bar represents the frequency of the data element

The histogram is not given; So, I will give a general explanation.

Assume that the number of commuters that travel more than 45 minutes is 450, while the total number of commuters surveyed is 500.

The percentage of commuters that travel more than 45 minutes is the quotient of the commuters that travel more than 45 minutes and the total number of surveyed commuters.

So, we have:

$\%Percentage = \frac{450}{500}$
