Set up a proportion.
The total side of the “top” line is 8 + 10 = 18. The total side of the “bottom” line is 45. This makes the ratio 18/45.
Now we are trying to find the “larger” bottom segment, let it be x. Because the lines are parallel, the ratio of the “larger” top and bottom segments is equal to the ratio of the whole top and bottom lines.
So 18/45 = 10/x
Reduce 2/5 = 10/x
Cross multiply 2x = 50
Solve x = 25
Factor out the cos<span>θ:
</span>cosθ (2sin<span>θ + sqrt3) = 0
</span>Therefore, the only ways this can happen are if either cosθ = 0 or if (2sin<span>θ + sqrt3) = 0
</span>The first case, cosθ = 0 only at θ <span>= pi/2, 3pi/2.
</span>The second case, <span>(2sin<span>θ + sqrt3) = 0 simplifies to:
</span></span>sin<span>θ = (-sqrt3)/2
</span><span><span>θ = 4pi/3, 5pi/3
</span></span><span><span>Therefore the answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Volume of a triangular prism = 1/2 × lbh</u>
<u>Volume of a triangular prism = 1/2 × lbhSo, from given options, we can select 39 x 2 = 13 × 3 × 2 as the expression that represents the volume of the prism, with 13 as the height or length of the prism.</u>
