Find m∠STU and m∠TUA

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answers:

  • angle STU = 65 degrees
  • angle TUA = 123 degrees

=========================================================

Explanation:

Let's find the expression for angle TUS in terms of x

Angle TUA has the expression 11x+2. It will add to angle TUS to get 180 degrees

(angle TUS) + (angle TUA) = 180

angle TUS = 180 - (angle TUA)

angle TUS = 180 - (11x + 2)

angle TUS = 180 - 11x - 2

angle TUS = -11x + 178

Now focus on the interior angles of triangle TUS. We have these three angles

  • T = 5x+10
  • U = -11x+178
  • S = 58

For any triangle, the interior angles always add to 180, so,

T+U+S = 180

(5x+10) + (-11x+178) + (58) = 180

(5x-11x) + (10+178+58) = 180

-6x + 246 = 180

-6x = 180-246

-6x = -66

x = -66/(-6)

x = 11

Use this x value to find the angle measures we're after:

  • angle STU = 5x+10 = 5*11+10 = 55+10 = 65 degrees
  • angle TUA = 11x+2 = 11*11+2 = 121+2 = 123 degrees

--------------------------

As an alternative route, you can apply the remote interior angle theorem. This says that adding two interior angles leads to the exterior angle that isn't adjacent to either one.

In this case, we would say

(angle STU) + (angle TSU) = angle TUA

that leads to the equation

(5x+10) + (58) = 11x+2

Solving this should lead to x = 11 to generate the angles mentioned earlier.

a circle with radious of 1cm sits inside a 11cm times 12 cm rectangle what is the area of the shaded region
Nitella [24]

Answer: 128.86cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The circle is inscribed in the rectangle. To find the shaded portion, subtract he area of the circle from the are of the rectangle.

Area of the rectangle                                  =  11 x 12

                                                                     =  132cm²

Area of the circle with radius of 1cm          =  πr²

                                                                     = 3.142 x 1²

                                                                     = 3.142cm²

Therefore , area of the shaded  region      = 132cm²  -  3.142cm²

                                                                    = 128.86cm²

The water is flowing into the pool at 1.5 gallons per minute and it would take 20 minutes to be filled.

<h3>What is an Equation</h3>

An equation is used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

The pool holds 30 gallons of water. After 5 minutes, the pool is about one fourth full. Hence:

Time to full the pool = 5 minutes * 4 = 20 minutes

Rate of water flow = 30 gallons/20 minutes = 1.5 gallons per minute

The water is flowing into the pool at 1.5 gallons per minute and it would take 20 minutes to be filled.
