<span>a = (90-a)/2 - 18 

this means that the angle equals half its complement minus 18 degrees. 

this means the same as the angle equals 18 degrees less than half its complement. 

solve for a. 

equation is: 

a = (90-a)/2 - 18 

simplify by removing parentheses to get: 

a = 90/2 - a/2 - 18 

simplify further to get: 

a = 45 - a/2 - 18 

combine like terms to get: 


a = 27 - a/2 

add a/2 to both sides to get: 

a + a/2 = 27 

multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to get: 

2a + a = 54 

combine like terms to get 

3a = 54 

divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get: 

a = 18 

your answer should be that the angle is equal to 18 degrees. 

if the angle is 18 degrees, then its complement is equal to 90 - 18 = 72 degrees. 

half its complement is equal to half of 72 is equal to 36 degrees 

18 degrees less than that is equal to 36 - 18 is equal to 18 degrees. 

Your answer is that the measure of the angle is 18 degrees.</span>

Find angle 1 and angle 2
levacccp [35]

Answer:

m∠2 is correct, m∠1 is 85°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, you already gave the angle for ∠2 in which it is vertical to the one shown, m∠1 must be 85° since you are finding the left angle to make a straight line of 180°

Find the 7th term of a geometric sequence with t1 = 6 and r = 4.
Helen [10]

To solve for the 7th term of a geometric sequence with t1 = 6 and r = 4, we use the following equation:

<span>
a(n) = a(1) r^(n-1)
a7 = (6) 4^(7-1)
a7 = 24576</span>
