Answer:

Smaller number: 12

Larger number: 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number.

Let 3x - 2 represent the larger number (The larger number is two less than three times the smaller number, or x)

x + 3x -2 = 46

   Add 3x + x:

4x - 2 = 46

   Add 2 to both sides:

4x = 46 + 2

   Add 46 + 2:

4x = 48

    Divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12 is the smaller number

Since 12 is the smaller number, and the sum of the two numbers is 46, than the larger number must be 34.

Ancient Greeks

Beginning in the 6th century BC with the Pythagoreans, with Greek mathematics the Ancient Greeks began a systematic study of mathematics as a subject in its own right. Around 300 BC, Euclid introduced the axiomatic method still used in mathematics today, consisting of definition, axiom, theorem, and proof.

The radius of the circle is 7 inches what is the approximate length of AB (AB is 135 degrees
Sholpan [36]
We know that
circumference=2*pi*r
for r=7 in
circumference=2*pi*7------> 14*pi in

if 360° (full circle)  has a length of------------ 14*pi in
 135°-----------------------------> x
x=135*14*pi/360----------> x=5.25*pi in--------> 16.49 in

the answer is
5.25*pi in  or 16.49 in

In this parallelogram m angle bad =75 so m angle bcd
Allisa [31]
The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
m angle bad =75°
remember that on parallelogram 
(∠A + ∠<span>B) = 180°
[Since, sum of the interior angles on the same side of the transversal is 180°] 
therefore
</span>∠B=180°-∠A=180°-75°=105°
∠B=105°
<span>Similarly
∠B + ∠C = 180°
∠C + ∠D = 180°
and ∠D + ∠A = 180°</span>
<span>Thus, the sum of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°.
</span>
m angle bcd=∠C=180-∠B=180°-105°=75°

the answer is m angle bcd=75°
