Refer to the diagram shown below.

Because ΔABC is isosceles and AB = AC, therefore
m∠C = m∠B = (3x + 5)°

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, therefore
2(3x + 5) + 2x - 20 = 180
6x + 10 + 2x - 20 = 180
8x - 10 = 180
8x = 190
x = 23.75°

Therefore
m∠C = 3x + 5 = 3(23.75) + 5 = 76.25°

Answer: 76.25°

Given that the volume of a cube is 2744 cm cube find the length of its edge

bixtya [17]

Volume of cube =a^3
2744=a^3
by making prime factors of 2744
2*2*2*7*7*7=a^3
2^3*7*3=a^3
by taking cube root on both sides
2*7=a
14=a
so<span> the length of its edge =14</span>

I dont know how to do this one

Answer:

$2\sqrt{34}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can add a line to create a triangle and a rectangle. The triangle will have side lengths 10 and 6. Furthermore, it will be a right triangle, meaning we can apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find x, the hypotenuse.

$6^2 + 10^2 = x^2\\x = \sqrt{6^2 + 10^2}\\ = \sqrt{136} \\= 2\sqrt34}$
