Answer: True
One angle of a right triangle = 90°
Let x = the acute angle of one angle.
Let y = the angle of the other angle.
Because the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°,
x + y + 90 = 180
x + y = 90
y = 90 - x
Therefore the angles for each of the two triangles are
x, 90° - x, 90°.
The two triangles are therefore similar because of AAA (Angle, Angle, Angle).
The first step is to find the CHANGE. This is done by subtracting the two values and taking the absolute value. Next step is to find the ratio of the change to the original and multiplying by 100% to make it a percentage.
So;
a) change = Ι60 - 25Ι = 35.
ratio of change to original = 35:25,
multiplying by 100% will give 35/25 × 100% = 140%.
Hence it is a 140% INCREASE.
b) change = | 30 - 66 | = 36
the ratio is 36:66
multiplying by 100% = 36/66 × 100% = 0.545454... ×100% ≈ 54.5%
Hence it is a 54.5% DECREASE.

Do lulus way. If you change the angles, you will not have a pentagon anymore. If you subtract, it wouldn’t be the same ratio:)
Answer: Not possible
Step-by-step explanation: A whole number is an integer or a number without fractions. Both 15% and 40% are less than 1 since they are less than 100%; therefore, it is impossible to express them as whole numbers. They can only be expressed as the mixed numbers of 0.15 and 0.4, or 15/100 and 40/100.
