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.

Molly is painting a model house and needs to know how much paint she will need. She knows the surface area of the prism is 216 s
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

1. Base of pyramid; 6 in by 6 in

2. Base of prism; Its dimensions are also 6 in by 6 in, located at the bottom of the house and will not be seen, so it does not require painting.

3. twice the area of the square

4. Area = 228 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

For question 4, the area Molly needs to paint is found by adding all the surface areas and subtracting the 2 surfaces that will not be painted: base of pyramid and base of prism (outlined in red). According to the picture, these are both squares with 6 by 6 dimensions.

<h3>Step 1. Add all surface areas together</h3>

Prism: 6 surfaces

Surface area = 216 inches sq

  • Front = 6 x 6 = 36
  • Back = 6 x 6 = 36
  • Top = 6 x 6 = 36
  • Bottom (base) = 6 x 6 = 36
  • Side = 6 x 6 = 36
  • Other side = 6 x 6 = 36

Pyramid: 5 surfaces

Surface area = 84 inches sq

  • Bottom (base) = 6 x 6 = 36
  • Front triangle = (6 x 4)/2 = 12
  • Back = (6 x 4)/2 = 12
  • Side = (6 x 4)/2 = 12
  • Other side = (6 x 4)/2 = 12

TOTAL surface area: 216 inches + 84 inches = 300 inches sq

<h3>Step 2. Subtract surfaces that are NOT being painted</h3>

300 - base of pyramid - base of prism

300 - 2(36)

300 - 72

<u>228 inches sq</u>

Hope this helps!
