Associative property is only applied to addition and multiplication. Thus, it can't be applied to subtraction. This property is manifested when you get the same answer no matter where you put the parenthesis. Example of associative property is:
(50 + 2) + (92 + 6) = 52+98 = 150
50 + (2+92) + 6 = 50 + 94 + 6 = 150
Here is the counter example for the subtraction of decimals:
(3.45 - 8.92) - (1.9 - 7.3) = -5.47 - ⁻5.4 = -0.07
3.45 - (8.92 - 1.9) - 7.3 = 3.45 - 7.02 - 1.9 = -5.47
As you can see, the answers are not the same.
The answer is 12 because (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
5^2 + b^2 = 13^2
25 + b^2 = 169
169- 25 = 144

Sqaure root of 144 is 12 so If we plug that in..
25 + 144 = 169
5^2 + 12^2 =13^2
This all checks out

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a straight line has the degree of 180
so you minus 125 from 180 since you already know one angle and get 55 and thats your answer
