Option B) Determine the volume of the cake V= πr²h and divide that amount by 18
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
- It is given that, the birthday cake is in the shape of the cylinder.
- Therefore, to find the entire volume of the cake, the volume of the cylinder formula is used.
<u>The volume of the cylinder is given by,</u>
Volume of the birthday cake = πr²h
After that, it was asked to find the volume of each piece of the cake.
In this case, the birthday cake is cut into 18 pieces.
We already know the total volume of the birthday cake which is πr²h.
In order to find the volume of each piece of cut cake, the total volume must be divided by the number of parts it has been cut into pieces.
Here, the whole part of the cake is 1.
The number of parts it has been divided after it is made into pieces = 18 parts.
Therefore, the volume of the birthday cake must be divided by 18 to get the volume of each piece of cake.
Option B) Determine the volume of the cake V= πr²h and divide that amount by 18 is correct.

Hello! My name is Galaxy and I will be helping you today, I hope you are having a nice day!
We can solve this in two steps, Comprehension and Solving. I'll go ahead and start with Comprehension.
If you have any questions feel free to ask away!!
Comprehension
We know according to the laws of geometry that all angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
We also know that in an isosceles angle, the base angles are equation to each other.
Now that we know what we need to know, we can setup an equation.

We can do this because first of all, we know that 2x-6 is one of the angles and as per the base angles of an isosceles triangle we know that both base angles are x, therefore we can add 2x to get 180 degrees.
I'll start solving now.
Solving
We can solve this by using the equation we made above and solving it with algebra.

We know that x is equal to 46.5 degrees. We can check that by inputting it into the equation.

We've proven that our answer is correct by double checking,
Therefore the answer is 46.5!

6000 - 1800 = 4200
4200/4 = 1050
