Angles A and B are complementary. The measure of angle A is yº. What is the measure of angle B?

Mathematics

Answer:

D, (90-y) degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are angles that add up to 90 degrees. Since angle A and angle B are complementary, they add up to 90. Since the value of angle A is y degrees, we can substitute y into the equation to get

y+B=90

To get the measure of angle B, we must isolate B.

To isolate B, we have to remove every term from its side.

The only term on the side that B is on other than B is y. To remove y from the left side, we must subtract y from both sides. Doing this will result in the equation:

B=90-y

The only answer option that meets this criteria is D.

Is ABC DEF? If so, identify the similarity postulate or theorem that applies.
VladimirAG [237]

We are given traingle ABC and Triangle DEF.

Angle <A is congruent to Angle <D

Angle <B is congruent to Angle <E

Angle <C is congruent to Angle <F.

If two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent to each other, then the triangles are similar by Angle-Angle Similarity.

<em>By Angle-Angle similarity postulate triangle ABC and triangle DEF are similar.</em>

Therefore, option C is correct option.

<h3>C. Similar - AA.</h3>

Write the equation in standard form of a line that is parallel to the graph of 2x + y = 5 and whose y - intercept is (0,4).
babunello [35]

The line that is parallel to this line will have the same slope of this line, as the two will never intersect. They will run side by side. The line y = 2x - 5 is written in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b. The value of m represents the slope, and in this equation m = 2. Therefore, the line we are looking for will have a slope of 2 also.

That line should also be in slope-intercept form. We now know the value of m, but we also know the value of x and y. The ordered pair (8, 10) is a point on the line, and every ordered pair is in the form (x, y). Therefore, x = 8 and y = 10. We can plug those values into y = mx + b, along with m = 2. That gives us:

10 = 2(8) + b We need to solve for b.

10 = 16 + b

b = -6

4x + 7 = 23slove this
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Given:

4x + 7 = 23

Let's solve for x.

First Step:

Subtract 7 from both sides

4x + 7 - 7 = 23 - 7

4x = 16

Next Step:

DIvide both sides by 4

\begin{gathered} \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{16}{4} \\  \\ x\text{ = 4} \end{gathered}

ANSWER:

x = 4
