Answer:

x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

6s² = 1944

Total area is given to be 1944

Since s = x - 5,

6(x - 5)² = 1944

Divide both sides by 6

(x - 5)² = 324

Square root both sides

x - 5 = +/- 18

Solve for x

x = 18 + 5 = 23

x = -18 + 5 = -13 (not possible because lengths can't be negative)

So, x = 23

Answer:

x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the surface area of a cube is denoted by S = 6s². In this case, we see that s = x - 5, so just plug x - 5 in for s in the formula:

S = 6(x - 5)²

We also know that the surface area is 1944, so S = 1944. Plug this in as well:

S = 6(x - 5)²

1944 = 6(x - 5)²

Now, we solve by expanding the right:

1944 = 6(x² - 10x + 25) = 6x² - 60x + 150

Subtract 1944 from both sides:

6x² - 60x - 1794 = 0

Divide by 6 from both sides for simplicity:

x² - 10x - 299 = 0

Factor:

(x - 23)(x + 13) = 0

x = 23 or x = -13

Obviously, we can't have a negative length, so -13 is wrong. We use x = 23 instead.

The answer is thus x = 23.

Angle AXD = angle CXB (vertically opposite angle)
then angle ADB = angle ABC 
then angle DAB = angle BCD 
I couldn't remember the name of the rule 
I said that they are equal if you look at the curve AC and DB
They called them that two angles that subtended by the same mirror (arc)
lead them to be a similar angle (angle - angle - angle)
