Step-by-step explanation:
(1)
Since FE = FG the triangle is isosceles with ∠ E = ∠ G, then
∠ E = =
= 37°
(2)
Since all 3 sides are congruent then triangle is equilateral with the 3 angles being congruent, 60° each , then
12y = 60 ( divide both sides by 12 )
y = 5
(3)
The 3 angles are congruent then triangle is equilateral with the 3 sides being congruent, then
KL = JL , that is
4t - 8 = 2t + 1 ( subtract 2t from both sides )
2t - 8 = 1 ( add 8 to both sides )
2t = 9 ( divide both sides by 2 )
t = 4.5
(4)
Given ∠ B = ∠ C then triangle is isosceles with 2 legs being congruent , that is
AB = AC
4x + 1 = 9 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 2
Then
perimeter = AB + BC + AC = 4x + 1 + 2x + 3 + 9
= 6x + 13
= 6(2) + 13
= 12 + 13
= 25
d = Diameter of wheels = 25 inches
s = Distance to be traveled by the wheels = 458 miles
Converting the miles to inches
The distance traveled by the wheels in rotation is the circumference
The number of rotations required to cover the distance would be
rotation is
so
The number of rotations to cover the required distance is
