Answer:

If you know that Angle X and Angle Y are complementary angles, X+Y = 90

Then we translate the sentence "angle x is 8 times larger than angle Y" into mathematical terms.  is means equal, and 8 times means multiplication.  This gives us our second equation

X = 8Y  

We then use the property of substitution to combine the equations into a solvable system.  if X = 8Y and X + Y = 90, we can say that 8Y + Y = 90.  

combining like terms, we have 9Y = 90.  Y then equals 10.  

We then substitute back into the original X = 8Y to get X = 8*10.  X = 80.

The final answer is X = 80 degrees and Y equals 10 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

You over estimated by 2 feet.  Find out how much 2 feet of 22 is by dividing 2 by 22...

2/22 = 0.090909090909

To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply the decimal by 100%

0.0909090909(100%) = 9.0909090909% or 9.09%
