In triangle ABC, angle a and b are complementary, where the cos A= 0.5. What is the angle measure of B in degrees?

Angle B measures 30 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

If two angles are complementary, the sum of the two angles will equal 90°.

So if angles A and B are complementary, the sum of the angles A and B will equal 90°.

It is given that cos A = 0.5, we can determine the value of A by taking the cos inverse of the value 0.5.

Step 2:

If cos A = 0.5, A = So angle A is 60°.

As A and B are complementary, angle A + angle B = 90°.

So 60° + angle B = 90°, angle B = 90° - 60° = 30°.

So angle B measures 30° while angle A measures 60°.

3: 2

step-by-step explanation:

shorter piece is 2: 3, so just reverse it, and you get 3: 2

hans did not square the 40-unit side; he merely multiplied it by 2.   incorrect.
