Length of shorter piece is 13 ft
Length of longer piece is 61 - 13 => 48 ft
Well, since it is multiple choice, you can just eliminate the answers. If you take 5/4 it equals 1.25. Then you go through the choices. All of the numbers, except 7.2 (C) are infinite. And, 7.2 gives you the 1.25 from before... which is your answer
If this helped, brainliest would be great! Only need one more to level up :)
Given:
m∠B = 44°
Let's find the following measures:
m∠A, m∠BCD, m∠CDE
We have:
• m∠A:
Angle A and Angle B are interior angles on same side of a transversal.
The interior angles are supplementary.
Supplementary angles sum up to 180 degrees
Therefore, we have:
m∠A + m∠B = 180
m∠A + 44 = 180
Subtract 44 from both sides:
m∠A + 44 - 44 = 180 - 44
m∠A = 136°
• m,∠,BCD:
m∠BCD = m∠A
Thus, we have:
m∠BCD = 136°
• m∠CDE:
Angle C and angle CDE form a linear pair.
Linear pair of angles are supplementary and supplementary angle sum up to 180 degrees.
Thus, we have:
m∠D = m∠B
m∠D = 44°
m∠CDE + m∠D = 180
m∠CDE + 44 = 180
Subract 44 from both sides:
m∠CDE + 44 - 44 = 180 - 44
m∠CDE = 136°
ANSWER:
• m∠A = 136°

•
,
• m∠BCD = 136°
