Answer:

  • x = 33
  • base angles: 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. In an isosceles triangle, the base angles are congruent.

For this, it is easiest to find the base angles first. If we let <em>b</em> represent the measure of one of them, the sum of angles is ...

  2b +42 = 180

  b +21 = 90 . . . . . . divide by 2

  b = 69 . . . . . . . subtract 21

The measure of the base angles is 69°.

__

Then we can find the value of x from its relation to the base angle measure:

  (2x +3)° = 69°

  2x = 66 . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 3

  x = 33 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The value of x is 33.

balu736 [363]
Since 12.3 is kind of a margin that you have to fit by, the total weight of the golf clubs must be lesser than or equal to 12.3. So, that's your expression:
0.8x \leq 12.3
x represents the number of golf clubs you have.

7.7 cm
svp [43]

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess the 3.14 is to be used for pi (and not r, which is what we need to find out).

the volume of a cylinder is ground area × height.

the ground area is the area of a circle, which is pi×r².

so, we have

pi×r²×height = 115 cm³

3.14×r²×7.7 = 115 cm³

3.14×r² = 14.93506494...

r² = 4.756390107...

r = 2.18091497... cm
