I tried solving it but I get them wrong. I forgot the formula to solve them.

You need to work out the other angles first, before working out the values of; a, b and c.
∠x = 180 - 139 [∠'s on a straight line]
thus, ∠x = 41°
∠y = ∠x [corresponding angles]
∴ ∠y = 41°

∠h = 180 - (41 + 77 + 36) [∠'s on a straight line add to 180°]
∠h = 26°

∠p = ∠h + 77° +∠y [corresponding ∠'s]
∴ ∠p = 26 + 77 + 41
∠p = 144°

∠a = 180 - (26 + 77 + 41) [∠'s on a straight line]
∠a = 180 - 144
thus, ∠a = 36°

∠c = 36 + ∠h [corresponding ∠'s]
∠c = 36 + 26
∴ ∠c = 62°

∠b = 180 - ∠c [∠'s in a straight line add to 180°]
∠b = 180 - 62
thus, ∠b = 118°

Hope you followed through. :)

The spherical balloon is inflated at the rate of 10 m³/sec. Find the rate at which the surface area is increasing when the radiu

rjkz [21]

The balloon has a volume $V$ dependent on its radius $r$ :

$V(r)=\dfrac43\pi r^3$

Differentiating with respect to time $t$ gives

$\dfrac{\mathrm dV}{\mathrm dt}=4\pi r^2\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm dt}$

If the volume is increasing at a rate of 10 cubic m/s, then at the moment the radius is 3 m, it is increasing at a rate of

$10\dfrac{\mathrm m^3}{\mathrm s}=4\pi (3\,\mathrm m)^2\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm dt}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac5{18\pi}\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$
