4 units. Plot the two point and connect them with a line. You can now make a right triangle. The line you plotted is the hypotonuse. Use the pythagorean theorem to find the distance between A and B is 4 units.
m∠A + m∠B = 90, since the angles are complementary.
The question also tells us that m∠A = (2x + 10) and m∠B = (-x + 55)
So, all we have to do is input the angle's values into the first equation:
(2x+10) + (-x+55) = 90
Simplify:
x + 65 = 90
x = 25
Input the variable into the angles:
m∠A = 2(25) + 10 = 50 + 10 = <u>60°</u>
m∠B = -25 + 55 = <u>30°</u>
Y = 5x + 20
Start at (0, 20).
Then plot a point at (1, 25).
The line should be going through points (2, 30), (3, 35), (4, 40), (5, 45), etc.
For every time the x number goes up, the y number goes up 5 times for the 5%.
The answer is 40 is 80% of 50 ☺
