Answer:

68°

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

Two supplementary angles are (2x – 8)° and (3x - 2)°.

As we know that the sum of two supplementary angles are 180°. So,

→ (2x – 8)° + (3x – 2)° = 180°

→ 2x° – 8° + 3x° – 2° = 180°

→ 5x° – 10° = 180°

→ 5x° = 180° + 10°

→ 5x° = 190°

→ x = 190° ÷ 5°

→ x = 38°

Supplementary angles are,

1st angle = (2x – 8)°

→ 2(38°) – 8

→ (76 – 8)°

→ 68°

2nd angle = (3x – 2)°

→ 3(38°) – 2

→ (114 – 2)°

→ 112°

Therefore, the measure of the smaller angle is 68°.

The answer is A. f(t) = 100(0.25)t

This may be solved by inserting all points to your answer and sseeing if they work. Since A. f(t) = 100(0.25)t fits with all points, this best represents the relationship between f(t) and t.

The ratio of red cars to blue cars in a parking lot was 8 : 7. If there were 48 red cars, how many blue cars were there?

shutvik [7]

What you need to do is multiply both sides by the same number. If 8 times 6 is 48, then 7 times 6 is your answer.

If the diameter of circle O is 20 and CE = 4, then determine the length of AB. Show how you arrived at your answer.

Aneli [31]

Answer: Length of AB is 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Diameter of a circle is 20 cm and CE = 4 cm

Now as shown in figure AO, BO, CO are radii

$\text { Radius } =\dfrac{\text {Diameter}}{2} = \dfrac{20}{2} = 10 cm$

Therefore

AO=BO=CO= 10 cm

Now

$OE = CO- CE \Rightarrow OE= 10 -4 = 6 cm$

Now in Δ OEB

∠OEB =90°

Therefore by Pythagoras theorem : In a right angle triangle the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of square of other two sides.

So we have

$BO^2=BE^2+EO^2\\\\\Rightarrow 10^2= BE^2 +6^2\\\\\Rightarrow BE^2= 100-36\\\\\Rightarrow BE^2 = 64 \\\\\Rightarrow BE= 8 cm$

Now as we know perpendicular to the chord from the center of a circle bisect the chord.

Therefore

$AB= 2\times BE = 2\times 8=16 cm$

Hence , the length of AB is 16 cm .
