Problem 23
A = 40
B = 3x+1
C = 3x+1
B and C are congruent, so they have the same angle measure
The three angles of any triangle add to 180 degrees
A+B+C = 180
40+(3x+1)+(3x+1) = 180
6x+42 = 180
6x = 180-42
6x = 138
x = 138/6
x = 23
Answer: B) 23

Problem 24
AB is the midsegment parallel to XY
So AB is half that of XY
AB = (1/2)*XY
AB = (1/2)*28
AB = 14
Answer: B) 14

Problem 25
Note the ratio of the given rectangle's sides: 7/12 = 0.583 roughly
Divide the answer choices in a similar fashion
A) 5/7 = 0.714
B) 14/36 = 0.389
C) 21/36 = 0.583
D) 21/48 = 0.4375
We get the same result in choice C as we did in the original rectangle
Answer: C) 21 ft x 36 ft
The volume-to-surface-area ratio would be better for an ice cube is the highest possible one.
<h3>How to explain the volume?</h3>
When you put ice into your drink, the goal is to have the ice chill your drink. This takes time. Therefore, you would want the ice to slowly melt and cool the drink for as long as you can.
You would want to have the highest possible volume to surface area ratio in an ice cube. If your ice cube is mostly surface area with less volume, it will melt quickly and water down your drink. If your ice cube has a higher ratio of volume to the surface area, it will stay solid longer and chill your drink longer.

The correct answers are B and C.
Since the mixture requires 5 mL of black wax and 6 mL of white wax, we want multiples of these numbers; specifically, we need multiples that are the same number of times away.
A does not work; 10 is 5*2 and 24 is 6*4. These won't be in the same ratio.
B works; 15 is 5*3 and 18 is 6*3. These have the same ratio.
C works; 35 is 5*7 and 42 is 6*7. These have the same ratio.
D does not work; 26 is not a multiple of 6.
E does not work; 45 is 5*9 and 48 is 6*8. These will not have the same ratio.
Say the percentage increase is 25%. If you have the whole number of 30 then you would multiply 30 by .25. You should therefore get 7.5 once both are multiplied. That means you should add 7.5 to 30, and your final answer will be 37.5.
