Answer:

The options are not shown, so i will answer in a general way.

Let's define the variables:

h = number of hats

m = number of mugs.

We know that a total of 1000 items were ordered, then:

h + m = 1000

We also know that we have 3 times more mugs than hats, this can be written as:

m = 3*h

Now we have the system of equations:

h + m = 1000

m = 3*h

To solve these, we usually start by isolating one of the variables in one equation and then replace that in the other equation, but in this case, we already have m isolated in the second equation, then we can replace that in the first equation to get:

h + m = 1000

h + (3*h) = 1000

Now we can solve this equation for h, and find the number of hats ordered.

4*h = 1000

h = 1000/4 = 250

There were 250 hats ordered.

Step-by-step explanation:

b + 81° = 117° { exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles }

b = 117° - 81°

b = 36°

for no. 14

The angles that are congruent to < 1 are < 4 and < 8.
