To be a parallogram the 2 angles shown need to equal 180 degrees
so we have: 34 + (4x-2) = 180
now we can solve for x
34 + 4x -2 = 180
simplify the left side by subtracting 2 from 34
32+4x =180
subtract 32 from each side:
4x = 148
divide both sides by 4 to get x
x = 148 / 4
x = 37
The answer is B
Lots of red herrings in this question! The beacon is circular, so you need to find the area of a circle with a diameter of 36 inches.
Area of a circle = pi x radius^2
remember radius is half the diameter!
The number is 24. If 8 is one third of the number, you multiply 8 by 3 to find the number, which is 24.
w - width
2w + 5 - length
w + w + (2w + 5) + (2w + 5) = 6w + 10 - perimeter
34 cm - perimeter
The equation:
6w + 10 = 34 <em>subtract 10 from both sides</em>
6w = 24 <em>divide both sides by 6</em>
w = 4 cm
2w + 5 = 2(4) + 5 = 8 + 5 = 13 cm
<h3>Answer: Width = 4cm, Length = 13cm</h3>
The answer would be approximately 56.52 inches squared.
You are suppose to find the lateral surface area, since the label only go around the can, excluding the top and bottom.
To find the lateral surface area, you'd need to find the circumference of the circle, and then multiply that by the height.
Since C = πd, 3.14..*3 ≈ 9.42. And 9.42*6 = 56.52. Conclusively, the approximate amount of paper needed to make the can's label would be about 56.52 inches squared.
