Answer:

C.72

Step-by-step explanation:

angle XYZ is an inscribed angle and arc XZ is the arc it intercepts

If you didn't know the measure of an inscribed angle is equal to half the measure of its arc it intercepts or an intercepted arc equals twice the measure of its inscribed angle

Hence, angle XYZ * 2= arc XZ

If Angle XYZ = 36

then 36 * 2 = arc XZ

36 * 2 = 72

hence the answer is C

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

∠XYZ is an inscribed angle. The rule is that an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc. That means that arc XZ is twice 36, or 72, choice C.

ratelena [41]

The ratio of surface area is equal to the ratio of the square of the corresponding dimensions. And ratio of volumes of two solids is equal to the cube of the ratio of the corresponding dimensions .

We start with the relation between ratio of surface area and ratio of corresponding sides. That is

$\frac{340}{1158}=(\frac{x}{y} )^2$
