A student is asked to calculate the value of 752 − 702 using the identity x2 − y2 = (x − y)(x + y). The student's steps are show

n below.
Step 1: 752 − 702 = (75 − 70)(75 + 70)

Step 2: = (5)(155)

Step 3: = (5)(150) + 5(5)

Step 4: = 750 + 25

Step 5: = 775

The correct answer should be 725. In which step did the student make his first error?

Step 2, 5*155= 775,which means the steps after that would make the answer even more variable

1. The shape of cross-section is a circle.
2. The face parallel to ABCD is EFGH. Since this is a a rectangular shape,

A = L*H = 12*6 = 72 cm^2

3. The cross-section parallel to ABC is DEF with h = 12 ft, b= 5ft (where h is the height and b is the base of a right angled triangle).

Area, A = 1/2 *b*h = 1/2*5*12 =30 ft^2

4. Plane BDHF is a rectangle shape whose length is the diagonal of ABCD.

Diagonal BD = sqrt (AB^2+BD^2) = sqrt (8^2+7^2) = 10.63 cm.
Perimeter, P = 2(BD+DH) = 2(10.63+6) = 33.26 cm

Find the value of X.
-Dominant- [34]
To find the value of x we first need to find the missing angle in the triangle.

To do that we are gonna add the angles we already have.

64 + 45 = 109

Angles in a triangle measures 180 so to get the missing angle we are gonna subtract 109 from 180

180 - 109 = 71 deg

The missing angle in the triangle is 71 deg


Angles on a straight line adds up to 10 so to find x we are gonna subtract 71 from 180

180 - 71 = 109 degrees

Therefore x is 109 degrees.
