Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

∠A = (8x – 12) and ∠B = (6x + 14)

∠A = ∠B because they are vertical angles

then:

(8x – 12) = (6x + 14)

reduce:

2x = 28

x = 14

Okay, first let's look at what they give us!

The measure of angle 2 is 3x + 1

Measure of angle 3 is 2x + 4

And they give us that one angle is right which means it is 90°

Now if we use what we know of triangles, we know that all the angles in a triangle add up to equal 180 which means if we add angle 2, angle 3, and the right angle together we should get 180. Let's write an equation for it:

3x + 1 + 2x + 4 + 90 = 180

First we will add together liked terms!

3x + 2x = 5x

1 + 4 + 90 = 95

This gets us:

5x + 95 = 180

Second, let's get rid of that 95 by subtracting it from both sides, after doing this it should leave us with:

5x = 85

Third we need to get the x by itself and we can do it by dividing both sides by 5 to get:

x = 17

Now the question asks to find the measure of angle 2, given that angle 2 is 3x + 1 all there is left to do is to plug in 17 for x!

3(17) + 1

51 + 2 to get us 52!

The volume of a sphere whose diameter is 18 centimeters is _ cubic centimeters. If it’s diameter we’re reduced by half, it’s vol

kaheart [24]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>First Part</u>

Given that

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

We have that

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} = \frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{Diameter}{2})^{3} = \frac{4}{3} \pi 9^{3} = 972\pi cm^{3} \approx 3053.63 cm^{3}$

<u>Second Part</u>

Given that

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

If the Diameter were reduced by half we have that

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} = \frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{r}{2}) ^{3} = \frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}}{8}$

This shows that the volume would be $\frac{1}{8}$ of its original volume

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

<u>First Part</u>

Gather Information

$Diameter = 18cm$

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

Calculate Radius from Diameter

$Radius = \frac{Diameter}{2} = \frac{18}{2} = 9$

Use the Radius on the Volume formula

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} = \frac{4}{3} \pi 9^{3}$

Before starting any calculation, we try to simplify everything we can by expanding the exponent and then factoring one of the 9s

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi 9^{3} = \frac{4}{3} \pi 9 * 9 * 9 = \frac{4}{3} \pi 9 * 9 * 3 * 3$

We can see now that one of the 3s can be already divided by the 3 in the denominator

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi 9 * 9 * 3 * 3 = 4 \pi 9 * 9 * 3$

Finally, since we can't simplify anymore we just calculate it's volume

$Volume = 4 \pi 9 * 9 * 3 = 12 \pi * 9 * 9 = 12 * 81 \pi = 972 \pi cm^{3}$

$Volume \approx 3053.63 cm^{3}$

<u>Second Part</u>

Understanding how the Diameter reduced by half would change the Radius

$Radius =\frac{Diameter}{2}\\\\If \\\\Diameter = \frac{Diameter}{2}\\\\Then\\\\Radius = \frac{\frac{Diameter}{2} }{2} = \frac{\frac{Diameter}{2}}{\frac{2}{1}} = \frac{Diameter}{2} * \frac{1}{2} = \frac{Diameter}{4}$

Understanding how the Radius now changes the Volume

$Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

With the original Diameter, we have that

$Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi (\frac{Diameter}{2}) ^{3} = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{Diameter^{3}}{2^{3}}\\\\ = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{Diameter^{3}}{2 * 2 * 2} = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{Diameter^{3}}{8}\\\\$

If the Diameter were reduced by half, we have that

$Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi (\frac{Diameter}{4}) ^{3} = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{Diameter^{3}}{4^{3}}\\\\ = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{Diameter^{3}}{4 * 4 * 4} = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{Diameter^{3}}{4 * 2 * 2 * 4} = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{Diameter^{3}}{8 * 8} = \frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi\frac{Diameter^{3}}{8}}{8}$

But we can see that the numerator is exactly the original Volume!

This shows us that the Volume would be $\frac{1}{8}$ of the original Volume if the Diameter were reduced by half.
