An angle is 21 degree more than twice its complement find it

jekas [21]

Answer: 67°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angle refers to the angle that when added together will be equal to 90°.

Let the measurement of the angle's complement be x.

Therefore, the angles are x and 2x + 21. Since it's a complementary angle, therefore,

x + 2x + 21 = 90

3x + 21 = 90

3x = 90 - 21

3x = 69

x = 69°/3

x = 23°

Therefore, the angle will be:

= 2x + 21

= 2(23°) + 21°

= 46° + 21°

= 67°

The angle is 67°.

PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!GUARaNTEE REWARDAmanda earned a score of 940 on a national achievement test that

MrMuchimi

To solve this question, you¨ll need to use a table of the standardized Normal distribution, or you could use a graphing calculator. The answer will be the cumulative property which will be a number with decimals. However, this represents the students who had a lower score then her, You´ll need to subtract this from 1 in order to get the opposite number, which will be the kids who scored higher. Be sure to multiply the result by 100 to get a percentage. Your answer should be 0.806 hope this helped!

4 The ratio of corresponding dimensions of two similar solids is 3/4. The surface

White raven [17]

4.

The ratio is 3/4 for corresponding dimensions, the ratio of their surface areas is equal to the square of this ratio:

$\sf (\dfrac{3}{4})^2=\dfrac{S}{96}$

Simplify the exponent:

$\sf \dfrac{9}{16}=\dfrac{96}{S}$

Cross multiply:

$\sf 9S=1536$

Divide 9 to both sides:

$\sf S\approx 170.7~m^2$

So the surface area of the second solid is 54 square meters.

The ratio is 3/4 for corresponding dimensions, the ratio of their volumes is equal to the cube of this ratio:

$\sf (\dfrac{3}{4})^3=\dfrac{720}{V}$

Simplify the exponent:

$\sf \dfrac{27}{64}=\dfrac{720}{V}$

Cross multiply:

$\sf 27V=46080$

Divide 64 to both sides:

$\sf V\approx 1706.7~m^3$

5.

A globe is a sphere, use the formula for the volume of a sphere:

$\sf V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

The radius is half of the diameter, so the radius here is 40/2 = 20. Plug it in the formula, use 3.14 to approximate for Pi:

$\sf V=\dfrac{4}{3}(3.14)(20)^3$

Simplify the exponent:

$\sf V=\dfrac{4}{3}(3.14)(8000)$

Multiply:

$\sf V\approx \boxed{\sf 33,493~in^3}$
