Answer:

When Sum of square of two Sides is equal to square of third side of triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Three side length of triangle are given we need find the which value to substitute for a, b, c in Pythagoras theorem.

First we will find the squares of all length, then we will check which two square of side are equal to square of third side as per Pythagoras theorem.

Hence the two side would according be a and b and third side will become c.

For example if length of triangle  is given as 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm.

We will first take square of all

6^2=36\\8^2=64\\10^2=100

Now we can see that

36+64=100\\6^2+8^2=10^2

Now by Pythagoras theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

Hence we can say a = 6 cm, b = 8 cm, c= 10 cm

x = 1

Answer:

m\angle XVW = 100\degree

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first figure, FP is the bisector of \angle DFE

\therefore m\angle 1 = m\angle 2\\\therefore 44x + 1 = 46x - 1\\\therefore 1 + 1 = 46x - 44x\\\therefore 2 = 2x\\\therefore \frac{2}{2} = x \\\huge \red {\boxed {\therefore x = 1}}

In the second figure, VP is the bisector of \angle XVW

\therefore m\angle 1 = m\angle 2\\\therefore 12x + 2 = 11x +6\\\therefore 12x - 11x = 6 - 2\\\therefore x  = 4\\\because m\angle XVW = m\angle1 + m\angle 2\\\therefore m\angle XVW = 12x + 2 + 11x +6\\\therefore m\angle XVW = 23x + 8\\\therefore m\angle XVW = 23\times 4+ 8\\\therefore m\angle XVW = 92+ 8\\\huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore m\angle XVW = 100\degree}} \\

densk [106]
I cannot see your picture, but if the plane cutting the cylinder is indeed perpendicular to the cylinder's base, then the cross section must be square or rectangular.  Going by the shape of most cylinders, I would guess that it is rectangular.
