The measure of an angle is 30 degrees less than half the measure of its supplement. what is the measure of the angle? a: 10 b: 40 c: 90 d: 140

The concept of supplementary angles is :

Sum of supplementary angles =180 degrees

Now let us say one of the supplementary angle measures x degrees.

finding expression for second angle,

half the measure of x is 0.5x

30 degrees less means subtracting 30 so we have 0.5x-30

now the two angles are x and 0.5x-30

Adding the two will be equal to 180 , so forming an equation,

adding 30 on the right side,

dividing both sides by 1.5

x=210/1.5 = 140

So first angle is 140

our angle is 0.5x-30 which is 40 degrees

Answer is 40 degrees

step-by-step explanation:

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
