Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We will be using simultaneous equations to solve this problem.

The sum of angles on a straight line is 180°.

( R ) and ( 2x + 5 ) are both on the same straight line.

Therefore:

Equation No. 1 -

R + 2x + 5 = 180

R = 180 - 2x - 5

R = 175 - 2x

Vertically opposite angles are equivalent to each other.

( R ) is vertically opposite ( 3x + 15 ).

Therefore:

Equation No. 2 -

R = 3x + 15

Substitute the value of ( R ) from the first equation into the second equation to solve for ( x )

R = 3x + 15

175 - 2x = 3x + 15

- 2x - 3x = 15 - 175

- 5x = - 160

x = - 160 / - 5

x = 160 / 5

x = 32

Next we will substitute the value of ( x ) from the second equation into the first equation to solve for ( R ).

Equation No. 2 -

R = 175 - 2x

R = 175 - 2 ( 32 )

R = 175 - 64

R = 111

FINAL ANSWER:

Therefore, the answer is:

R = 111

x = 32

A gift box’s rectangular base has a perimeter of 92 centimeters. The length of the base is one more than twice the base’s width.

kozerog [31]

Assume that the length of the rectangle is "l" and that the width is "w".

We are given that:
(1) The length is one more than twice the base. This means that:
l = 2w + 1 .......> equation I
(2) The perimeter is 92 cm. This means that:
92 = 2(l+w) ...........> equation II

Substitute with equation I in equation II to get the width as follows:
92 = 2(l+w)
92 = 2(2w+1+w)
92/2 = 3w + 1
46 = 3w + 1
3w = 46-1 = 45
w = 45/3
w = 15

Substitute with w in equation I to get the length as follows:
l = 2w + 1
l = 2(15) + 1
l = 30 + 1 = 31

Based on the above calculations:
length of base = 31 cm
width of base = 15 cm

A right angle has a league of 13 cm in the hypotenuse of 21 cm what is the length of the other leg

natta225 [31]

You can use c^2 = a^2 + b^2 to solve for the length of the other leg. Just substitute the values to the variable then transpose to get the value of the missing variable.

Given: a = 13; c = 21
Required: b - other leg
Solution:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
21^2 = 13^2 + b^2
441 = 169 + b^2
b^2 = 272
√b = 16.49
b = 16.49 cm
