Greg and lu are building a toy hydraulic crane, as shown in the picture.
what is m∠abc?
a) 100°
b) 115°
c) 120°
d) 135°

D

Step-by-step explanation:

credit goes to the one that answered it

Notice that there is a triangle with two of the angles given.  We know that the sum of any triangle's angles will always be 180°.  Thus, we can subtract the two given angles from 180, and that will give us the measure of angle ABC.

180 - 20 - 25 = 160 - 25 = 135

The measure of angle ABC is 135°.

The correct option is D.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+

hello, sorry being so rude after all that fighting i found it kind of funny, so as me saying sorry here is an answer!

since the table showed her that   2km = 2000m.

to determine, how many km in 2000m, she would divide by 1000.

= 2000 / 1000 = 2 km.

similarly, for 8000m = 8000 / 1000 = 8 km

cheers to savings
