Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that:
Two angles are Complementary when they add up to 90 degrees
Two angles are supplementary when they add up to 180 degrees
Let the angle = x
If the complement of an angle is equal to the supplement of four times the angle, then find the measure of the angle.
90 - x = 180 - 4x
Y + 4x = 8
y = 8 - 4x
substitute 8 - 4x for y in the other equation.
5x + 2(8 - 4x) = 13
5x + 16 - 8x = 13
-3x = -3
x = 1
y = 8 - 4(1) = 4
Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find x
The height meets the base at a right angle
The base is bisected ( cut in half) so the base is 6 the height is 8
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 8^2 = x^2
36+64 = x^2
100 = x^2
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(100) = sqrt(x^2)
10 = x
