Angle DEF and Angle FEG are complementary. mDef=(3x-4)°, and mDEG=(5x+6). Find x. ​

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary means they add up to 90°

So add the angles up and set them equal to 90°

3x - 4 + 5x + 6 = 90

ADD the x's

8x - 4 + 6 = 90

COMBINE the -4 and 6

8x +2 = 90

SUBTRACT 2 from both sides.

8x = 88

DIVIDE by 8 on both sides.

8x/8 = 88/8

x = 11

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are the angles which are added up to 90°.

As, the given angles are complementary,

(3x - 4) + ( 5x + 6 ) = 90

Now solve for x.

(3x - 4) + ( 5x + 6 ) = 90

3x - 4 + 5x + 6 = 90

8x -4 + 6 = 90

8x + 2 = 90

8x = 90 - 2

8x = 88

Divide both sides by 8.

x = 11

Hope this helps you :-)

Let me know if you have any other questions :-)

The ancient Greeks could bisect an angle using only a compass and straightedge.A. TrueB. False
Gala2k [10]

Answer: True.

The ancient Greeks could bisect an angle using only a compass and straightedge.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ancient Greek mathematician <em>Euclid</em> who is known as inventor of geometry.

The Greeks could not do arithmetic. They had only whole numbers. They do not have zero and negative numbers.

Thus, Euclid and the another Greeks had the problem of finding the position of an angle bisector.

This lead to the constructions using compass and straightedge. Therefore, the straightedge has no markings. It is definitely not a graduated-rule.

As a substitute for using arithmetic, Euclid and the Greeks learnt to solve the problems graphically by drawing shapes .

a pipeline is laid at a rate of 1/8 mile per day.How many miles of line would be completed in 29 1/2 days​
Setler [38]

Answer:

In 29  1/2 days, the total pipe laid is (\frac{59}{16}) mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of pipe laid in 1 day = 1/8 mile

So, the length of pipe laid in half day = half of (1/8 mile)

= \frac{1}{2}  \times \frac{1}{8}  = \frac{1}{16}  \textrm{mile}

Now, 29 1/2 days on simplification means 29 and half day.

So, length of pipe in 29 days = 29 \times \frac{1}{8}  = \frac{29}{8} mile

Now adding the length laid in half day = \frac{29}{8}  + \frac{1}{16}  = \frac{29 (2) + 1}{16}  = \frac{59}{16}  \textrm{mile}

So, in 29  1/2 days, the total pipe laid is (\frac{59}{16}) mile.
