An angle measures 29° . what is the measure of its complement?

Answers

complementary angles add up to 90 so 90-29=the complement, which is 61.

The measure of the complementary angle will be 61°.

What is an angle?

The inclination is the separation seen between planes or vectors that meet. Degrees are another way to indicate the slope. For a full rotation, the angle is 360 °.

Complementary angle - Two angles are said to be complementary angles if their sum is 90 degrees.

An angle measures 29°.

Let 'x' be the complementary angle. Then the measure of the complementary angle is given as,

x + 29° = 90°

Simplify the equation, then we have

x + 29° = 90°

x = 61°

The measure of the complementary angle will be 61°.

Suppose the tree diagram below represents all the students in a high school and that one of these students were chosen at random. If the student is known to be a girl, what is the probability that the student is right-handed?



A. 1/4
B. 3/4
C. 5/6
D. 1/6

Answers

The Answer is C 5/6


250/300 reduced and simplified is 5/6

Answer:

The probability that the student is right-handed given that the student is a girl is:

[tex]\dfrac{5}{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the tree diagram we have to find the probability that the students is right handed given that the student is a girl.

Let A denote the event that the student is a girl.

and B denote the event that the student is right handed.

We are asked to find the probability:

P(B|A)

We know that P(B|A) is calculated as:

[tex]P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

There are a total of 500 students.

Out of which 300 are girls.

( i.e. [tex]P(A)=\dfrac{300}{500}=\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]    )

and out of 300 girls 250 are right handed.

( i.e. [tex]P(A\bigcap B)=\dfrac{250}{500}=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]  )

Hence,

[tex]P(B|A)=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}}{\dfrac{3}{5}}\\\\\\P(B|A)=\dfrac{5}{6}[/tex]

Hence,The probability that the student is right-handed given that the student is a girl is:

Answers

Answer: [tex]\angle WXY=125^{\circ}[/tex]

Explanation: Since, a kite has one pair of congruent angles and its main diagonal bisects its opposite angles.

Therefore, According to the given figure,

[tex]\angle WXY=\angle WZY[/tex]

And, WY is the main diagonal which bisects angles ZWX and XYZ.

So, [tex]\angle ZWX =2\times \angle ZWY= 2\times 43^{\circ}=86^{\circ}[/tex]

And, [tex]\angle XYZ =2\times \angle XYW= 2\times 12^{\circ}=24^{\circ}[/tex]

Since, Sum of all angles of a quadrilateral is equal to [tex]360^{\circ}[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]\angle WXY+\angle WZY+\angle XYZ+\angle ZWX=360^{\circ}[/tex]

⇒[tex]2\times \angle WXY+ 86^{\circ}+24^{\circ}=360^{\circ}[/tex]

⇒[tex]2\times \angle WXY=360^{\circ}-110^{\circ}=250{\circ}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\angle WXY=125^{\circ}[/tex]

8x = 2y + 5 3x = y + 7
Solve the system of equations by substitution.

(-9/2, -41/2), (-1, -9/2), no solution, coincident

Answers

Hello there!

8x = 2y + 5
3x = y + 7
Use the substitution property
We need to solve 3x = y + 7 for y
3x = y + 7
3x - y = 7
-y = 7 - 3x
Divide both sides by -1
-y/-1 = -3x -7/-1
y = 3x - 7
Substitute 3x - 7 for y in 8x = 2y + 5
8x = 2y + 5
8x = 2(3x - 7) + 5
8x = 6x - 14 + 5
8x = 6x - 9
8x - 6x = -9
2x = -9
x= -9/2
To find y, we need to substitute -9/2 for x in y = 3x -7
y = 3x - 7
y = 3(-9/2) - 7
y = -41/2

The correct answer is option A (-9/2; -41/2)

which pairs of angles are not always congruent when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?

A. Vertical lines
B. Alternate exterior angles
C.corresponding angles
D. Consecutive interior angles

Answers

vertical lines are not always congruent when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal line  

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal vertical lines are not always congruent.

What are transversal?

A line that goes through two lines in the same plane at two different points is called a transversal. When determining whether two or more other lines in the Euclidean plane are parallel, transversals play a role. Different kinds of pairs of angles are created when two lines intersect a transversal: alternate angles, corresponding angles, consecutive exterior angles, and consecutive interior angles. If the two lines are parallel, Euclid's parallel postulate states that consecutive interior angles are supplementary, that corresponding angles are equal, and that alternate angles are equal.

Given  to find the pairs of angles are not always congruent when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal,

when parallel lines are cut by a transversal some pair of angles are congruent like alternative exterior angle, corresponding angles and  

Consecutive interior angles all the pairs are congruent and equal.

but When a transversal line cuts through two parallel lines, vertical lines are not always congruent.

Therefore vertical lines are not always congruent.

These numbers would be -5 & 6...

(-5)(6) = -30

The products of two numbers involves multiplying them.

The two numbers are -5 and 6

Let the numbers be x and y.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x \times y = -30}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x + y = 1}[/tex]

Make x the subject in [tex]\mathbf{x + y = 1}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x = 1 - y}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\mathbf{x = 1 - y}[/tex] in [tex]\mathbf{x \times y = -30}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{(1 - y)y = -30}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y - y^2 = -30}[/tex]

So, we have:

Expand

[tex]\mathbf{y^2 -6y + 5y - 30 = 0}[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]\mathbf{y(y -6) + 5(y - 6) = 0}[/tex]

Factor out y - 6

Final answer:

To have an inverse function, a function must be bijective, meaning it is both one-to-one (injective) and onto (surjective). An example is shown with the function f(x) = x^2 which is not injective, hence doesn't have an inverse function.

Explanation:

In mathematics, to have an inverse function, the original function, represented as f, must be both injective (one-to-one) and surjective (onto). This dual property is called being bijective. This means every element of the function's domain maps to one distinct element in the function's range (injective) and that every element in the range has a pre-image in the domain (surjective).

For example, consider the function f(x) = x^2. This function is not injective, as both f(-2) and f(2) give the same output, hence it does not have a true inverse function across all real numbers.

Let f (x) = 2x - 1, g(x) = 3x, and h(x) = x2 + 1. Compute the following: f (g (x)) and h (f (x))

Answers



f(g(x)) means to plug the value of g(x) into every x you see in f(x) and do the math.

g(x) = 3x

f(3x) = 2(3x) - 1

f(3x) = 6x - 1

So, f(g(x)) = 6x - 1.

Understand?

h(f(x)) means to plug the value of f(x) into every x you see in h(x) and do the math.

h(x) = x^2 + 1

h(2x - 1) = (2x - 1)^2 + 1

h(2x - 1) = (2x - 1)(2x - 1) + 1

h(2x - 1) = 4x^2 - 4x + 1 + 1

h(2x - 1) = 4x^2 - 4x + 2

So, h(f(x)) = 4x^2 - 4x + 2

if a 40-foot tree casts a 12-foot shadow, find the length of the shadow cast by a 28-foot tree

Answers

12/40 =0.3

28 *0.3 = 8.4

it will cast a 8.4 foot long shadow

Answer:

The shadow cast by a 28-foot tree is 8.4 foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of three is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and one unknown, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. In the case of direct proportionality, when one magnitude increases, the other increases (  or if one magnitude decreases, the other will also decrease)

This is an example of application of this rule:

40 foot tree ⇒ 12 foot shadow

28 foot tree ⇒ x foot shadow

Then, to solve and calculate the value of x, which is the value of the shadow cast by the 28-foot tree, perform the count:

x=[tex]\frac{28*12}{40}[/tex]

x=[tex]\frac{336}{40}[/tex]

x=8.4

This means that the shadow cast by a 28-foot tree is 8.4 foot.

Answers

Final answer:

The measure of angle <0 in the right triangle is approximately 30 degrees.

Explanation:

To find the measure of angle <0 in the right triangle, we can use trigonometry. The side opposite to angle <0 is given as 5 inches. The hypotenuse is given as 10 inches. We can use the sine ratio to find the angle:

sin(<0) = opposite/hypotenuse

substituting the given values:

sin(<0) = 5/10 = 0.5

Now, to find the measure of angle <0, we can use the inverse sine function:

<0 = arcsin(0.5)

Using a calculator, we find that the measure of angle <0 is approximately 30 degrees.

-2,-1 and 0

2) Given is a polynomial as

[tex]f(x) = 2x^3+5x^2-8x-20 =0[/tex]

Using rational roots theorem we find that

the roots possible are ±1.±2,±4,±5,±10,±20,±1/2,±5/2

Using remainder theorem we see that
