A company builds metal stands for bicycle wheels. a new design calls for a v-shaped stand that will hold wheels with a 13-inch r
adius. the sides of the stand form a 70° angle to the nearest tenth of an inch, what should the length of the side of the v-shaped stand be so that it is tangent to the wheel?
V<span>ertical angles are equal. We have 4x = 2x + 18. Then, 2x = 18; x = 18 </span>÷ 2; x = 9 degrees; The measure of angle DBE is 2 × 9 + 18 = 36 degrees.
