If angle a = 53° and angle b = 27° what is the length of angle d?
An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:
d° = b° + c°
To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 53° - 27° = 100°
So, d° = 27° + 100° = 127°
A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:
a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 53° = 127°
The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?
tides
Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.
The joule is a unit of measurement for:
energy
The joule is a unit of measurement for energy.
Simplify (9a)(8ab) + (7a2)(8b).
To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.
(9a)(8ab) + (7a2)(8b)
(9 x 8)(a x a x b) + (7 x 8)(a2 x b)
(72)(a1+1 x b) + (56)(a2b)
72a2b + 56a2b
128a2b
An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?
all of these
An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?
epiglottis
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.
Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?
O-negative
Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.
Which of the following is not a terrestrial planet?
Jupiter
The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.
