Answer:

9 pm on a Sunday, 55 .5 days before

Step-by-step explanation:

if there were 6 bacteria initially and from the growth rate we noticed that it doubled every 3 hours

because by 9 am Monday morning there were 5328 bacteria and then by 12 noon (3 hours later), there were 10, 656 bacteria

what we need to know is how long did it take 6 bacteria to become 5328

so

if 6 bacteria = 1 hour

12 bacteria = 3 hours

24 bacteria = 6 hours

then

5328 bacteria = x hours

taking the ratio

\frac{5328}{24} =\frac{x}{6}\\ \\222=\frac{x}{6} \\\\\\222(6) = x\\\\1332=x

we need to now convert this into hours

so we divide by 24

\frac{1332}{24} =55.5

so

9 am 55.5 days before should fall on a Sunday

∠1 + ∠3 + 90° = 180°

∠1 + ∠3 = 90°

∠3 = ∠4 (vertically opposite angles)

∠1 + ∠4 = 90°

Therefore, the answer is ∠1 + ∠4
