Find the height of a right circular cone whose volume is 47.8 in.3 and whose radius is 3 in. Round to the nearest tenth of an inch. The height is 5.1 in. h r h 3V pr2 84. The smallest angle of a triangle is 2° more than 2° 14 of the largest angle.The middle angle is less than the largest angle. Find the measure of each angle. The measures of the angles are 22°, 78°, and 80°. 85. A carpenter uses a special saw to cut an angle on a piece of framing. If the angles are complementary and one angle is 10° more than the other, find the measure of each angle. The measures of the angles are . 50° and 40° 86.

Find the measure of the vertical angles by first solving for x. x = 20.The measure of the angles is 65°. (2x 25)° (4x 15)° 88. Find the measure of angle y. The measure of angle y is 53°. y 37° Section 2.7 89. In stormy conditions, a delivery truck can travel a route in 14 hr. In good weather, the same trip can be made in 10.5 hr because the truck travels 15 km/hr faster. Find the speed of the truck in stormy weather and the speed in good weather. The truck travels 45 km/hr in bad weather and 60 km/hr in good weather. 90. Winston and Gus ride their bicycles in a relay. Each person rides the same distance.Winston rides 3 mph faster than Gus and finishes the course in 2.5 hr. Gus finishes in 3 hr. How fast does each person ride? Gus rides 15 mph and Winston rides 18 mph. 91. Two cars leave a rest stop on Interstate I-10 at the same time. One heads east and the other heads west. One car travels 55 mph and the other 62 mph. How long will it take for them to be 327.6 mi apart? The cars will be 327.6 mi apart after 2.8 hr (2 hr and 48 min). 92. Two hikers begin at the same time at opposite ends of a 9-mi trail and walk toward each other. One hiker walks 2.5 mph and the other walks 1.5 mph. How long will it be before they meet? They meet in 2.25 hr (2 hr and 15 min). 93.
