A student writes an incorrect step while checking if the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles of triangle ABC b

elow is equal to the measure of the exterior angle.
Step 1: m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = 90 degrees (sum of adjacent angles)
Step 2: m∠w + m∠z = 180 degrees (supplementary angles)
Step 3: Therefore, m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = m∠w + m∠z
Step 4: So, m∠x + m∠y = m∠w

In which step did the student first make a mistake and how can it be corrected?

Step 1; it should be m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = 180 degrees (sum of angles of a triangle)
Step 1; it should be m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = 180 degrees (corresponding angles)
Step 2; it should be m∠w + m∠z = 90 degrees (supplementary angles)
Step 2; it should be m∠w + m∠z = 90 degrees (adjacent angles)

Answer:

The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The according to the angle sum property of triangle, the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

Step 1: According to the student in triangle ABC,

\angle x+\angle y+\angle z=90^{\circ}

Which is not correct because the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°. So, he did a mistake in step 1.

In triangle ABC,

\angle x+\angle y+\angle z=180^{\circ}    ... (1)       (sum of angles of a triangle)

Step 2: \angle w+\angle z=180^{\circ}     .... (2)    (supplementary angles)

Step 3: Equating (1) and (2), we get

\angle x+\angle y+\angle z=\angle w+\angle z

Stpe 4: \angle x+\angle y=\angle w

Therefore the correct option is 1.

The correct answer is A.  All triangles' interior angles equal 180.

If cos(2/3x+20)°=sin(2x−10)°, find the acute angles of the corresponding right triangle.
adell [148]

Answer:

A = 40°

B = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

If cos A = sin B, then A + B = 90

So, 2x/3 + 20  + 2x - 10 = 90

      2x + 60 + 6x - 30 = 270

               8x + 30 = 270

                       8x = 240

                          x = 30

2x/3 + 20 = 60/3 + 20 = 20 + 20 = 40

2x - 10 = 2(30) - 10 = 60 - 10 = 50  or  90 - 40 = 50

A cylinder with a radius of 6cm and height of 15 cm has a cylindrical cut out of the
suter [353]

Answer:

V = 518cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h = 15cm

R = 6cm

r =5cm

Required

The volume of the remaining cylinder

Before the cut-out, the cylinder has a volume (V) of:

V = \pi R^2h

After the cut-out, the cylinder has a volume of:

V = \pi [R^2 -r^2]h

So, we have:

V = 3.14* [6^2 -5^2]*15

V = 3.14* [36 -25]*15

V = 3.14* 11*15

V = 518cm^3
