So the meaning of two angles being complimentary simply means that the two angles add up to 90 degrees. Lets call the two angles x and y where x is the smaller angle.
x + y = 90
We also know that y, being the larger angle is 3 times x.
y = 3*x
Given these two we can solve the problem with basic algebra!
x + y =90
x + (3*x) = 90
4*x = 90
x = 90/4
x = 22.5
y = 3 * x
y = 3*(22.5)
y = 67.5

Answer:

Angle L*; 67.5 degrees

Angle S*; 22.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle L is 3 times bigger than Angle S.

With this information, we can make an equation.

L=3S

Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.

90 = 3S + S

90 = 4S

22.5

Angle S equals 22.5.

Because Angle L is 3 times bigger than Angle S, we multiply 22.5 by 3.

This gives us 67.5.

Angle L is 67.5 degrees

Angle S is 22.5 degrees

Now, in order to check our work, we add the two angles together.

67.5 + 22.5 = 90

Because they add up to 90 degrees, the complementary angles work with each other meaning that we are correct

*Angle L is the larger angle

**Angle S is the smaller angle

A wedding planner uses 72 ivy stems for 18 centerpieces when she arrives at the venue she realizes she will only need 16 centerp
beks73 [17]

Answer:

64 ivy stems

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we can use rule of three:

Firstly we had 72 ivy stems to use in 18 centerpieces, and know we have 16 centerpieces and want to know how many ivy stems we need to use, so:

18 centerpieces -> 72 ivy stems

16 centerpieces -> X ivy stems

18/16 = 72/X

X = 16*72/18 = 64

He needs to use now 64 ivy stems to maintain the ratio.

Answer:

B. −x^2+2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

(f-g)(x)

fx - g=

6x^2+4x−7−2x−7x^2+11

=6x^2+4x+−7+−2x+−7x^2+11

Combine Like Terms:

=6x^2+4x+−7+−2x+−7x^2+11

=(6x^2+−7x^2)+(4x+−2x)+(−7+11)

=−x^2+2x+4

A four sided sandbox has exactly 2 right angles to side lengths 5 feet what geometric shape as described shape of the sandbox
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The sandbox is most likely in the shape of a kite. As it has only two right angles, it cannot be a square or other form of rectangle. It also cannot be a parallelogram, which has no right angles, nor is it a rhombus- all four sides are not of the same length.

A kite, however, has two pairs of equal-length sides that are adjacent to each other. It also has two sets of equal-measure angles, one of which can be 90° if it is a cyclic kite.
