Answer:

Electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. Neutrons have no charge. When there is an equal number of protons and electrons in an atom, the charges cancel out and the atom is neutral.

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number. it could be A

A and a' are vertical angles, therefore a' = a

We know: The sum of the measures of triangle is always 180°.

Therefore: a' + b + d = 180° → d = 180° - a - b.

d and c are adjacent angles, therefore d + c = 180°

substitute

180° - a - b+ c = 180° |-180°
-a - b + c = 0 |+a |+b
c = a + b

Find all of the missing sides or angles in the right triangle

shutvik [7]

Tan(29°) = opposite/adjacent = AC/CB ⇒
CB = AC/tan(29°) = 20/0.5543 ≈ 36.08

sin(29°) = opposite/hypotenuse = AC/AB ⇒
AB = AC/sin(29°) = 20/0.4848 ≈ 41.25

∠A = 180 - ∠B - ∠С = 180 - 29 - 90 = 61°
