The diagram shows a 12 cm * 3 cm * 4 cm cuboid. Find angle GEC. Give your answer to 1 decimal place.

m<GEC = 17.9 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

First, use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of GE.

(GE)^2 = (E?)^2 + (?G)^2

I am using ? in place of the front right corner point name that is not visible.

(GE)^2 = 12^2 + 3^2

GE = 12.3693

In triangle EGC, for angle GEC, GE is the adjacent leg, and GC is the opposite leg. We use the tangent.

tan GEC = opp/adj

tan GEC = GC/GE

tan GEC = 4/12.3693

tan GEC = 0.32338

Use inverse tangent to find the angle.

m<GEC = 17.9 deg

well my understanding of this question is they want you to use the y=14.1x -2.3 and put the coordinates they gave you onto the line segment of   y=14.1x -2.3

step-by-step explanation:

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
