Given:SW is diameter of circleR m\overarc ST = 30\degree Prove: RTW = 15\degree
1 answer:
Check the picture below.
we know that the arcST is 30°, meaning the inscribed angle intercepting it will be half that or 15°.
in the triangle RWT, two sides of it are RT and RW, both of which are radius segments and thus equal, meaning that triangle RWT is an isosceles, and in an isosceles the twin sides also make twin angles, meaning that ∡RTW is a twin of the inscribed angle ∡RWT.

well, let's notice something, a cube, all equal sides, has a side of 6, thus its volume is simply 6*6*6 = 216 cm³.
now, a rectangular prism, is a cuboid as well, but with varying dimensions.
let's notice something 6*6*6 is simply a multiplication of 3 numbers, let's then do a quick <u>prime factoring</u> of those numbers, well, 6 factors only into 2 and 3, so then the product of 6*6*6 can really be rewritten as (2*3)(2*3)(2*3).
well, regardless on how we rearrange the factors, the product will be the same, commutative property, so the rectangular prism will more or less have the same product and thus just about the same prime factors.
so let's rearrange on say hmmm height = 3 cm, length = 3*3 cm and width = 2*2*2 cm, notice, is still the same prime factors, 3*9*8 = 216 cm³.
