If an angle is 70 degrees and there is an angle vertical to it, then that other angle also equals 70 degrees. Therefore, if angle X equals 40 degrees, then angle Y also equals 40 degrees. Hope this helps.
Calculate how many miles a car can drive with 1 gallon: 285 miles ÷ 10 = 28.5 miles with one gallon
Divide 500 by 28.5 to calculate how many gallons are needed: 500 ÷ 28.5 ≈ 17.543 - Therefore yes, it is possible because the car uses about 17.543 gallons of gasoline for 500 miles.
