The simplest way to do this is to set up equivalent fractions. So, you'd do:

$\frac{3}{2}$ = $\frac{78}{x}$ and then solve for x.

x=52

What is the measure of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle if one of its base angles measures 54° A) 126 B) 72 C) 63 D) 10

Amiraneli [1.4K]

An isosceles triangle has congruent base angles, so if one of the base angles measure 54 degrees, then the other base angle does, too.
And a triangle measures up to 180 degrees.
180 = x + 2(54)
180 = x + 108
x = 72
So the answer is B) 72

A water storage tank has the shape of a cylinder with diameter 14 ft. It is mounted so that the circular cross-sections are vert

4vir4ik [10]

Check the picture below.

neverminding for a few seconds the volume of the cylinder, the percentage in the height used by the water will be the same as the percentage of its volume. We know the total amount or 100% of the height is 14, so what is 11 in percentage?

$\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 14&100\\ 11&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{14}{11}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 14x=1100 \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{1100}{14}\implies x = \cfrac{550}{7}\implies \boxed{x \approx 78.6}$
