Astronomers sometimes use angle measures divided into degrees, minutes, and seconds. One degree is equal to 60 minutes, and one

minute is equal to 60 seconds. Suppose that ∠J and ∠K are complementary and that the measure of ∠J is 45 degrees, 30 minutes, 14 seconds. What is the measure of ∠K?
The measure of ∠K is ______ degrees, ______minutes, and _____ seconds.

Answer:

Here's what you need to know to answer this question:

            If two angles are "complementary"

            then they add up to 90 degrees.

So now you know that

                                    (Angle-J) + (Angle-K) = 90 degrees .

Subtract (Angle-J)

from each side:                              Angle-K = (90 degrees) - (Angle-J)

    Angle-K  =  (90 degrees) minus (48 degrees 26 minutes 8 seconds)

As soon as you do that subtraction, you have the answer.

The thing that makes it tough is subtracting some minutes

and some seconds from 90 degrees.

How you do that is:  An unusual kind of regrouping ('borrowing').

Usually, when you regroup, you take '1' from a place and use it

to make '10' in the smaller place.

This time, when you take '1' from a place, it gives you '60'

in the smaller place.

-- Take 1 degree away from the 90 degrees.

   Use it to make minutes.

   Then you have                  89 degrees  60 minutes .

-- Take 1 minute away from the 60 minutes.

   Use it to make seconds.

   then you have                    89 degrees  59 minutes  60 seconds .

Now the subtraction is a lot easier.

            89 degrees  59 minutes  60 seconds

minus   48 degrees  26 minutes    8 seconds .

That's easy to do, and the difference is the measure of Angle-K.

Answer: y = 85 2) 36.222°

Step-by-step explanation:

281 + 268 + 225 + 290 = 1064

1064 / 7 = 152

152 x 12 = 1824

392 + 512 + 413 + 422 = 1739

1824 - 1739 = 85

Therefore y = 85

Answer:

  Domain of set B: {2, 4, -4, 0}

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of the function whose ordered pairs are listed in set B is the set of first numbers of those pairs: {2, 4, -4, 0}.

_____

<em>Comment on the question</em>

A "set" does not have a domain. A "function" has a domain. To make any sense of this question, we have to interpret the question to mean the function described by the ordered pairs in the set.

Answer:

The third answer: x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember when writing roots, the signs are backwards. This is because you start with (x-__) and fill in the root.

So for x = -1, it'll be written as (x+1) [aka (x- -1)]

For x = -3, it'll be written as (x+3)

For x = 5, it'll be written as (x-5)

The only answer that is one of these is the the third answer
