Given:
∠PRS and ∠VUW are supplementary.
To prove:
Line TV || Line QS
Solution:
Step 1: Given
∠PRS and ∠VUW are supplementary.
Step 2: By the definition of supplementary angles
Step 3: Angles forming a linear pair sum to 180°
Step 4: By transitive property of equality
step 2 = step 3
Step 5: By algebra cancel the common terms in both side.
Step 6: By converse of corresponding angles postulate
Line TV || Line QS
Hence proved.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Length = x
width = x - 7
height = x - 10
volume = 600 in^3
Volume = L * w * h
600 = x * (x - 7)*(x - 10)
600 = x * (x^2 - 17x + 70)
600 = x^3 - 17x^2 + 70x
x^3 - 17x^2 + 70x - 600 = 0
There is a genius somewhere that could solve this using algebra. The rest of us have 2 choices. We can graph it (see below) or we could use a program that solves it for us. I'll do both for you.
a = 1
b = - 17
c = 70
d = - 600
There is only 1 real solution: x = 15
L = 15
w = 8
h = 5
That has to be one of the ugliest graphs made. It does into the hundreds of thousands and it still looks like a straight line. Trust me. It's not.
