Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, this is a polynomial. It is an expression containing variables raised to a real number.
In this case, the variables are being raised to the power of one.
The degree of this polynomial, thus, is one.
Let A and B be the two complementary angles.
A = smaller angle = 2x
B = larger angle = 13x
x = some unknown number
Note how the ratio A:B turns into 2x:13x which simplifies to 2:13
A+B = 90 ... because the angles are complementary
2x+13x = 90 ... substitution
15x = 90
x = 90/15
x = 6
A = 2*x = 2*6 = 12 degrees
B = 13*x = 13*6 = 78 degrees
The two angles are 12 degrees and 78 degrees.
Check:
A/B = 12/78 = (2*6)/(13*6) = 2/13, so A:B = 2:13
A+B = 12+78 = 90
Answer:
26
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, use this and set up an equation;
x + ( 4x -5 ) + 55 = 180
Simplify
x + ( 4x - 5 ) + 55 = 180
5x + 50 = 180
Inverse operations;
5x + 50 = 180
-50 - 50
5x = 130
/5 /5
x = 26
