Ratio of complement of x : supplement of x
2 : 5
⇒ 2 times the supplement of x will be equal to 5 times the complement of x
5(90 - x) = 2 (180 - x)
450 - 5x = 360 - 2x
5x - 2x = 450 - 360
3x = 90
x = 30°
Complement of x = 90 - x = 90 - 30 = 60
Supplement of x = 180 - x = 180 - 30 = 150
Ratio:
60 : 150
60 ÷ 30 : 150 ÷ 30
2 : 5 (checked)
Answer:
B. Side <em>a</em> is 7 inches long and side <em>b</em> is 6 inches long.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the scale drawing is three times bigger than the actual object, divide both numbers by three to find the object size.
Side a:
21/3 = 7 inches
Side b:
18/3 = 6 inches
A = L * W
A / L = W <==
when A = 42 and W = 16.8
A / L = W
42/16.8 = W
2.5 = W <=== width = 2.5 inches
Rearrange the formula given to determine the slope, you will see that in y=mx+b form the slope is -2/3
You now have the slope (m) and two test points. Input those values into y=mx+b and you will have your answer!
I got y=(-2/3)x+(22/3) which I'm quite certain is correct.
