Given:
In a right triangle, the measure of one acute angle is 12 more than twice the measure of the other acute angle.
To find:
The measures of the 2 acute angles of the triangle.
Solution:
Let x be the measure of one acute angle. Then the measure of another acute is (2x+12).
According to the angle sum property, the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. So,
Divide both sides by 3.
The measure of one acute angle is 26 degrees. So, the measure of another acute angle is:
Therefore, the measures of two acute angles are 26° and 64° respectively.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
t a pet store, Ms. Pike paid $34.75 for 5 dog bowls and 7 bones. Mr. Moore paid $20.50 for 3 dog bowls and 4 bones. Determine the cost of one dog bowl(x) and one bone(y).
Hello!
Here we are given a composite shape, meaning that we can divide this shape up into ways that we are given formulas to solve for legs and such.
I can see here that this can be divided into a triangle and a rectangle using a horizontal line.
The leg lengths of this triangle would be 9, because it is congruent to the bottom side of the rectangle, and 7, because it is the left side minus the right side.
This would also make a right triangle, meaning we could solve for the hypotenuse utilizing the Pythagorean Theorem.
Which is in simplest radical form.
Hope this helps!
Do you have notes so I can look at them to help you? Cause I pretty good at math but I need the notes.
