Hey there!!
Let's take the length of the bigger piece as x inches
Then, the length of the smaller piece would be x - 8 inches
The sum of these lengths would be 54 inches
... x + x - 8 = 54
... 2x - 8 = 54
... Add 8 on both sides
... 2x = 62
... Divide 2 on both sides
... x = 31
Hence, the length of the bigger piece = 31 inches
The length of the smaller piece would be = 31 - 8 = 23 inches
Hope my answer helps!!
Answer:
2 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
45°
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's understand "supplement" and "complement" -- basics of geometry of angles.
- When we say two angles, a & b, are supplementary, we mean that both ADD up to 180.
- When we say two angles, a & b, are complementary, we mean that both ADD up to 90.
<em><u>If we have given an angle, such as "x", to find its supplement, we subtract the angle from 180. Similarly, we would need to subtract the angle x from 90 if we were to find the complement of the angle.</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
We want to find complement of 45, so we subtract 45 from 90 to get:
90 - 45 = 45°
Hence, the complement of a 45° angle = 45°
