Tell whether the angles are complementary or supplementary. Then find the value of $x$ . A ray intersects two other rays forming a right angle. The angles formed after the intersection is x degrees and left parenthesis x minus 20 right parenthesis degrees.

The angles are complementary

x is 55 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are angles that sums up to 90 degrees

Since a ray intersects two other rays forming a right angle, hence the sum of the two angles is 90degrees and this shows that the angles are complementary.

Given the two angles to be x and (x-20). Taking their sum and equating it to 90 degrees, we will have;

x + x - 20  = 90

2x - 20 = 90

2x = 90+20

2x = 110

x = 110/2

x = 55 degrees

Hence the value of x is 55degrees

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
