<u>136 + x + x = 180. Or, to simplify, 136 + 2x = 180. The congruent angles measure 23 degrees each.</u>

We know this because of a simple rule that goes for all triangles: The measures of all three angles in a triangle will <em>always</em> add up to 180 degrees.

One angle of a triangle measures 136 degrees. The other two angles are congruent (have the same measure).

(x stands for an unknown angle measure.) So the equation we would use is 136 + 2x = 180. We can solve this within a few steps.

1. We subtract 136 from 2x in order to isolate 2x. But if we subtract something from the left side of the equation, we have to subtract it from the right side too. Otherwise the equation will be wrong; We would be taking away the balance.

2x = 180 - 136

2. Now that 2x is isolated, we solve 180 - 136.

2x = 46

3. If we know now that 2x is equal to 46, how do we find out what x is equal to? We divide by 2 (on both sides or it'll be wrong) to get x.

2x = 46

2x/2 = 46/2

x = 23

Now we know! x = 23... The other two angles are both 23 degrees. We can check to see if that's right by solving 23 + 23 + 136... Does it add up to 180? Yes! :)

Degger [83]
To determine the number of cubes he needs to fill the box (this is assuming the cubes are 1 in cubes, he would need to calculate the volume of the box. To find the volume he would multiply the length by the width by the height. This would be 5 in x 6 in x 7 in. The volume is 210 cubic inches, so he could fill it with 210 one inch cubes.

consider the function represented by the equation 16b = 4r - 12. write the equation in function notation, where b is the indepen
katovenus [111]

When you write a function in the form y=f(x), y is the dependent variable, and x is the independent variable.

So, if b is the independent variable, it means that we have to solve the expression for r.

To do so, we perform the following steps: start with

16b = 4r - 12

Add 12 to both sides

16b+12 = 4r

Divide both sides by 4:

4b+3 = r

So, we wrote the expression in the form r = f(b) = 4b+3, which means that r is the dependent variable and b is the independent variable, as requested.
