Answer: X = 27
Step-by-step explanation: If we observe very closely, we have two similar triangles in the diagram. The first one is ABC and the other triangle is EDC. Also take note that angle ACB in the first triangle is equal in measurement to angle ECD (45 degrees) in the other triangle, (Opposite angles).
Hence in triangle ECD, we have identified two angles so far which are angle 2x + 10 and angle 45. Same applies to triangle ABC, we already have two angles which are, 3x - 10 and 45.
However angle D in the second triangle is equal in measurement to angle B in the first triangle
(Alternate angles).
Hence we have a third angle in triangle ABC which is
Angle B = 2x + 10.
Therefore 3x - 10 + (2x + 10) + 45 = 180
(Sum of angles in a triangle)
3x - 10 + 2x + 10 + 45 = 180
By collecting like terms we now have
3x + 2x = 180 + 10 - 10 - 45
5x = 135
Divide both sides by 5,
x = 27
Answer:
10.82 revolutions per mintue
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need the circumference of the cirkel. As you may know the formula for that is 2×pi×r, with r as the radius of the cirkel. So 2×pi×15=30pi centimeters or 94.24 centimeters. Now we will calculate the fraction of 17 centimeters on 94.24 centimeters. 17/94.24=0.18. That is how fast the wheel will spin. To get it in minutes we now do: 0.18×60=10.82 revolutions per minute.
Answer:
3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A 12-foot ladder is leaning across a fence and is touching a higher wall located 3 feet behind the fence. The ladder makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ground.
ladder is 12 foot
The ladder makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ground.
It form a right angle triangle . ladder is the hypotenuse
multiply 12 on both sides
x= 6
the distance from the base of the ladder to the bottom of the fence
x-3 = 6-3=3 feet
