Set up and solve an equation:
3(90-x) = (180-x). Then 270 - 3x = 180 - x, or 270 - 180 = 2x.
90 = 2x, so x = 45 deg.
Is this true? 3(90-45) = (180-45)? If so, x = 45 degrees is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
Always the easiest way to study these questions is to get a graph. The one below shows
Red: y = x^2
Blue: y= 3(x + 1)^2
You will notice that (x+1)^2 shifts the graph Left -- the opposite to what you might think.
The 3 is a little harder. It narrows the red mother graph. Which choice says that?
The choice is between b and d. Why. Because the blue graph is to the left of the red one.
You have to learn the meaning of compressed. A better word might be narrows.
Answer
B
The answer is 7 3/4 inches.
I noticed the word "train" in the problem and I knew I had to help you! :)
v = 1/3Bh
Divide both sides by h.
v/h = 1/3B
Multiply both sides by 3.
3v/h = B
