Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

use Pythagoras theorem

that is a²+b²=c²

so 4.5²+b²= 18²

rearrange to b²=18²-4.5²

so you get b=

$\sqrt{303.75}$

that is equal to 17.42842506

Answer: The answer is (C) 180°.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that m∠A = 40°. ∠B is a complement of ∠A and ∠C is a supplement of ∠B. We are to find m∠B + m∠C.

Since ∠B is a complement of ∠A, so we have

$m\angle A+m\angle B=90^\circ\\\\\Rightarrow m\angle B=90^\circ-m\angle A=90^\circ-40^\circ\\\\\Rightarrow m\angle B=50^\circ.$

Now, since ∠C is a supplement of ∠B, so we have

$m\angle B+m\angle C=180^\circ\\\\\Rightarrow m\angle C=180^\circ-m\angle B=180^\circ-50^\circ\\\\\Rightarrow m\angle C=130^\circ.$

Therefore,

$m\angle B+m\angle C=50^\circ+130^\circ=180^\circ.$

Thus, (C) is the correct answer.
