First we need to define our conditions. Since the angles are complimentary, the sum of the angles must be equal to 90 degrees.

let x = first angle
y = second angle

x + y = 90

from the second condition in the problem 

x + y =72 + x -y
solving for x

x= 54

therefore the shorter side is 90 - 54 = y

y = 36 degree, the shorter side

A couple has 2 children. what is the probability that both are girls if the older of the two is a girl?
12345 [234]
Assuming that the probability of boys and girls is equal (in reality slightly more boys than girls are born), the probability is 1/2, simply because the older girl's gender is given and therefore not a part of the probability.

This question comes from the 'boy or girl paradox', a.k.a. the Mrs Smith Problem.

The area of the trapezoid will be 32.5 square feet. Then the volume of the geometry will be 341.25 cubic feet.

<h3>What is Geometry?</h3>

It deals with the size of geometry, region, and density of the different forms both 2D and 3D.

The figure is shown.

Then the volume of the given geometry will be

Volume = Area of the trapezoid × Height

Then the area of the trapezoid will be

\rm Trapezoid \ area =  \dfrac{1}{2} \times (8 + 5) \times 5\\\\\\Trapezoid \ area =  32.5 \ ft^2

Then the volume of the geometry will be

Volume = 32.5  × 10.5

Volume = 341.25 cubic ft.

More about the geometry link is given below.
