<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

I've drawn a graph in order to a better understanding of this problem. We know that:

BC is perpendicular to AC

∠DBE = 2x - 1

∠CBE = 5x - 42

Let's call the intersection of line BC and AC the point P, so:

∠P=90°

And points B, P and C form the triangle ΔBPC. On the other hand, ∠CBE and ∠PCB are Alternate Interior Angles, so:

∠PCB = ∠CBE = 5x - 42

Moreover:

∠PBC = 2x - 1 - (5x - 42)

∠PBC = 2x - 1 - 5x + 42

∠PBC = -3x + 41

The internal angles of any triangle add up to 180°. Hence for ΔBPC:

90° + ∠PBC + ∠PCB = 180°

90° - 3x + 41 + 5x - 42 = 180°

2x + 89 = 180

2x = 91

x = 45.5°

You can start with the equation of
(1/6)x8+(1/8)x6+(1/12)x X=3

Multiply by common denominator of 24 to get
32+18+2x=72

Simplify it we get
50+2x=72

Eliminate using algebra (because it’s add 50 take away the 50 on both sides)
2x=22

Because it’s X2 divide by 2 on both sides
x=11
It will take 11 days

Marco has drawn a line to represent the perpendicular cross-section of the triangular prism. Is he correct? Explain. triangular

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Yes, the line should be perpendicular to one of the rectangular faces

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

A triangular prism lying on a rectangular base and a line drawn along the slant height

A perpendicular bisector should therefore be perpendicular with reference to the base of the triangular prism such that the cross section will be congruent to the triangular faces

Therefore Marco is correct and the correct option is yes, the line should be perpendicular to one of the rectangular faces (the face the prism is lying on).
