The two cross sections shown are taken parallel to their respective bases. The cross sections have the same area. If the heights
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

489.40 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the cross section is parallel to their respective bases, hence:

Area of the cylinder cross section = area of the circular base = πr²

where r is the radius of the cylinder base.

Area of other cross section = area of rectangle base = 3.8 cm * 8.1 cm

Since both cross sections have same area, hence:

Area of cylinder cross section = Area of rectangle base

πr² = 8.1 * 3.8

r² = 9.8

r = 3.1 cm

Volume of the cylinder = πr²h = π(3.1)²(15.9) = 489.40 cm³

Could you please help me

∠GBE = y (alternate angles)

∠DBG + ∠GBE = 180 (Adjacent angles on a straight line adds up to 180)
⇒ x + y = 180

∠DBG = ∠ABE (Vertially opposite angles)
⇒ x = 5y - 18

--------------------------------------------------
Solve for x and y :
--------------------------------------------------
x + y = 180 -------- (1)
x = 5y - 18 --------- (2)

Sub (2) into (1) :
5y - 18 + y = 180 
6x = 198
x = 33 --------- Sub into (1)
x + y = 180
33 + y = 180
y = 147

-----------------------------------------------------
Answer: x = 33°, y = 147°
