Area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * <span>height
base = 16 in
</span>height = 16 in
Area = 1/2 * 16 * 16 = 128 in.
Rearranging y = 8x -4y = 12 in the y = mx + b form gives y = 2x - 3
y = 2x - 3
y = mx - 6 (already in y = mx + b form)

Parallel lines have the same slope.
m = 2
Note that the two lines have the different y-intercepts and are not the same line.
If A and B are complementary angles, then they add up to 90 degrees.
So A + B = 90 => (x + 24) + (x + 16) = 90 => 2x + 40 = 90 => 2x = 50.
So x = 25, and thus, the measurement of B is (25 + 16) = 41.
The measurement of angle A is (25 + 24) = 49, and indeed they are complementary.
