Answer to Problem 31WE
The measure of the angle is
The measure of its supplement is
The measure of its complement is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A supplement of an angle is six times as large as a complement of the angle.
Suppose the measure of the angle be
Then the measure of its supplement is
Then the measure of its complement is
The measure of the supplement of the angle is 6 times as large as a complement of the angle
Simplifying this gives
Thus, the measure of the angle is
Then the measure of its supplement is
Then the measure of its complement is

- Can someone help me with this please?arrow_forwardMariela is in her classroom and looking out of a window at a tree, which is 20 feet away. Mariela’s line of sight to the top of the tree creates a 42° angle of elevation, and her line of sight to the base of the tree creates a 31° angle of depression. What is the height of the tree, rounded to the nearest foot? Be sure to show your work to explain how you got your answer.arrow_forward1arrow_forward
