The question that I'm having issues with is, "The complement of an angle, A, in degrees, is equal to one-sixth of the supplement of the angle, also in degrees.  Then A= "I know the answer is 72 degrees, but I don't know how to figure the problem out!

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 'Complement' = difference between an angle an 90 degrees.

'Supplement' = difference between an angle and 180 degrees.

Complement of A = 90 - A

Supplement of A = 180 - A

The problem says that the complement is 1/6 of the supplement, right ?

So      90 - A = (1/6) x (180 - A)

Multiply each side of this equation by 6 :

540 - 6 A = 180 - A

Subtract 180 from each side:

360 - 6 A = - A

Add 6A to each side :

360 = 5 A

Divide each side by 5 :

A = 72°
Answer 2
Answer: 90-A=(180-A)/(6)\n 540-6A=180-A\n 5A=360\n A=72

A cylinder has a diameter of 12 inches and a height of 10 inches what is its volume

Answers

Where r = radius, r = diameter/2, h = height.

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

r = diameter/2 = 12 / 2 = 6 inches.

h = 10

V = πr²h

V = π * 3² * 6 = π*9*6 = 54π

Volume = 54π cubic inches

Assuming π ≈ 3.14159

V = 54π ≈ 54 * 3.14159  ≈ 169.64586

Volume V = 54π  in³  or ≈ 169.65 in³

I hope this helped.
