The horizontal distance from points (5,-18) and (8,-17) is 3 because it is 3 units from 5 to 8. The vertical distance is 1 since it is one unit from -18 to -17. Now we can use the equation $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$ where a=3 and b=1 and c is the distance that you are looking for:

$a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}\\3^{2} +1^{2} =c^{2}\\9+1=c^{2}\\10=c^{2}\\\sqrt{10}=c$

The measure of an angle is 8 times the measure of its complement. tina writes an equation and finds the correct measure of each

pogonyaev

One of the unknown angles (let's called it n) has a complement (meaning their sum adds up to 90 degrees) and the other angle is 8 times the unknown angle (8n)

With all this information, you should have the equation:

n + 8n = 90

To solve, combine like terms to get:

9n = 90

Divide by 9 on both sides to isolate the variable n.

n = 10

Now we plug back in to find our angle measurements. The first angle, n, is 10 degrees. The second angle, 8n, is 8 * 10 which is 80; the second angle is 80 degrees.
