Answer:
x=52
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the properties of parallelograms is that angle A = Angle C
5y-54 = 3x eq1
Another property of parallelograms is that angle A + angle B = 180 degrees
5y-54+2y-60 = 180
7y = 180+114 = 294
y = 42
Putting this value in eq1
3x = 5*42-54 = 210-54 = 156
x = 52
<u>650 cannonballs
</u>
Explanation step by step:
upper layer = 1 ^ 2
second layer = 2 ^ 2
third layer = 3 ^ 2
layer 12 is 12 ^ 2
<u>The formula is:
</u>
<u>n * (n + 1) * (2n + 1) / 6
</u>
<u>n = 12
</u>
<u>12 (12 + 1) (2 * 12 + 1) / 6
</u>
<u>12 * 13 * 25/6 =
</u>
<u>650
