Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is isosceles, meaning that the two base angles (x + 20) are congruent. We can then create an equation that states: (x + 20) + (x + 20) + 3x = 180. Simplifying this, we get 5x + 40 = 180. We can then use reverse order of operations to solve it. Subtract 40 from both sides to get 5x = 140. We will then divide both sides by 5 to get x by itself, getting us the equation x = 28.

Answer:

x=28

Step-by-step explanation:

angle b and angle c are the same measure because it is a iso triangle.

you know triangle sum is 180 so 3x+2(x+20)=180. simplify it to 5x=140

divide both sides by 5

x=28

These cylinders are similar. Find the volume of

Basile [38]

Answer:

$V_s=85\ cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $V_s\ and\ V_b$ be the volumes of the smaller and bigger cylinder.

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is given by :

$V=\pi r^2 h$

As the two triangles are similar, the cube of their ratio would equal the ratio of their volume i.e.

$\dfrac{V_s}{V_b}=(\dfrac{h_s}{h_b})^3\\\\\dfrac{V_s}{V_b}=(\dfrac{3}{5})^3\\\\\dfrac{V_s}{V_b}=0.216\\\\V_s=393\times 0.216\\\\V_s=84.8\\\\or\\\\V=85\ cm^3$
