Answer:

Acute angle = 30°

Obtuse angle = 150°

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1:

Let x represent the measurement of the obtuse angle

Obtuse angle = x

Acute angle = ⅕ of x = x/5

Thus:

x + x/5 = 180° (angels on a straight line)

Solve for x

(5x + x)/5 = 180

Multiply both sides by 5

5x + x = 180 × 5

6x = 900

x = 900/6

x = 150

Obtuse angle = 150°

Acute angle = x/5 = 150/5 = 30°

Method 2:

Since acute angle = ⅕ of the obtuse angle, therefore,

Obtuse angle = 5*acute angle

Let acute angle = x

Obtuse angle = 5x

Equation:

5x + x = 180° (angles on a straight line)

Solve for x

6x = 180

x = 180/6

x = 30

Acute angle = x = 30°

Obtuse angle = 5x = 5*30 = 150°

A triangle was dilated by a scale factor of 6. If sin aº
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

24 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle was dilated by a scale factor of 6. If sin a° = four fifths and segment DE measures 30 units, how long is segment EF?

triangle DEF in which angle F is a right angle, angle D measures a degrees, and angle E measures b degrees

15.5 units

24 units

30 units

37.5 units

From the description:

angle D measures a degrees

opposite to angle D is side EF

side DE (which measures 30 units) is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

We also know that

\sin (a) = \frac{4}{5}

\sin (a) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

From definition:

\sin (a) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

Replacing:

\frac{4}{5} =\frac{ EF}{DE} \\\\EF = \frac{4}{5} *DE\\\\EF = \frac{4}{5} *30 \\\\= 24 units

Henry received $500 for his birthday which he intends to invest in an account that pays simple interest at the rate of 12% per y
Mila [183]

Answer:

$560

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Principal, P= $500

Interest rate, r = 12% per year

Amount in account after 1 year

Time = 1 year

Using the relation :

A = P(1 + rt)

A = final amount in account

A = $500(1 + 0.12(1))

A = $500(1 + 0.12)

A = $500(1.12)

A = $560
