			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From <a href="http://www.tutorvista.com/search/geometry-terms-and-definitions">geometry terms and definitions </a>,we know</p>
<p>An exterior angle (or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_and_external_angle">external angle</a>) is an angle formed by one side of a simple polygon and a line extended from an adjacent side.</p>
<p>In any triangle, if one of the sides is produced, then the exterior angle is greater than either of the interior and opposite angles,</p>
<p>The sum of the internal angle and the external angle on the same vertex is 180°.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-33" title="angle" src="http://everydaymath.edublogs.org/files/2009/08/angle.PNG" alt="angle" width="173" height="162" /></p>
<p>The sum of the measures of the external angles of a polygon ,one at each vertex is 360°.</p>
<p>Here angle 1,2 ,3 are external angles</p>
<p>1+2+3 = 360°.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see an example on this&#8230;.from <a href="http://www.tutorvista.com/search/grade-10-math">10 grade math geometry</a></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-34" title="angles" src="http://everydaymath.edublogs.org/files/2009/08/angles.PNG" alt="angles" width="300" height="216" /></p>
<p><strong>Find the value of x in the figure&#8230;.</strong></p>
<p>Since we have a straight line and a part of it is 80</p>
<p>Angle x=180-80</p>
<p>So x=100°</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An <strong>arithmetic progression</strong> (A.P.) or <strong>arithmetic sequence</strong> is a <a title="Sequence" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence">sequence</a> of numbers such that the difference of any two successive members of the sequence is a constant. For instance, the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13&#8230; is an arithmetic progression with common difference 2.</p>
<p>If the initial term of an arithmetic progression is <em>a</em><sub>1</sub> and the common difference of successive members is <em>d</em>, then the <em>n</em>th term of the sequence is given by:</p>

<p>A finite portion of an arithmetic progression is called a <strong>finite arithmetic progression</strong> and sometimes just called an arithmetic progression.</p>

<p>Find the 25th term of the following arithmetic progression<br />
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, …</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>Answer:-</strong></span></p>
<p>3, 6, 9, 12, 15, …</p>
<p>a = 3 , d = 3 , n = 25</p>
<p>Tn = a + (n − 1)d</p>
<p>T25 = 3 + (25 − 1)(3)</p>
<p>= 3 + 72</p>
<p>= 75</p>
<p>∴ the 25th term of the A.P. is 75.</p>

<p><strong><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Question:-</span></strong></p>
<pre> <strong>Solve 

  Cos2x=cosx

<strong><span style="color: green; font-size: large;">Answer:-</span></strong>

Lets write 

cos2x as 2 cos<sup>2</sup>x-1

So we have 

   2 cos<sup>2</sup>x-1=cosx

  Then subtract cosx on both sides

2cos<sup>2</sup>x-1-cosx=cosx-cosx

2cos<sup>2</sup>x-1-cosx= 0

Lets take cosx as y

So the equaton become

  2y<sup>2</sup>-y-1= 0

  (y-1)(2y+1)=0

  y-1=0 or 2y+1=0
                 -1
  So y = 1 or y= ------
                  2

Since y=cosx
                    -1
 Cosx=1   or  cosx= ----
                     2
We know that cos0=0 

So cosx=cos0

 x=0 ,

Similarly for the second equation 

 x=120 or 240

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A <a href="http://www.tutorvista.com/geometry-help">geometrical figure </a> Cone with different attributes like base, slant side and height but this problem helps you to calculate height of cone with the help of volume of the cone.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Topic :</span> Height of a Cone</p>
<p>Formula for finding a Volume of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_(geometry)">cone</a> = 1/3 * ￗ * r² * h</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Question :</span> Suppose sand is being poured onto a cone- shaped pile, beginning at time t = 0, at the rate of 29.4 cubic inches per minute. At t = 2 minutes the resulting cone has a diameter of 7&#8243;. As the sand continues to be poured, the cone is always similar to its original shape, but it grows in size. Find the height of the cone at t=2minutes(remember to include the base of the pile). Round your answers to the nearest hundredth</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Solution :</span></p>
<p><a href="http://everydaymath.edublogs.org/files/2009/04/cone11.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18" title="cone11" src="http://everydaymath.edublogs.org/files/2009/04/cone11.jpg" alt="" width="135" height="112" /></a></p>
<p>Rate of increase of volume is 29.9 cubic inches</p>
<p>Hence in the first minute the volume becomes 29.4 cubic inches</p>
<p>So when t = 2 (second minute) Volume = 2 * 29.4 = 58.8 cubic inches</p>
<p>at t = 2 ; V = 1/3 * ￗ * r² * h ; r = 7/2 = 3.5&#8243;</p>
<p>So 58.8 = 1/3 * 3.14 * 3.5 * 3.5 * h</p>
<p>58.8 = 12.822 h</p>
<p>h = 58.8/12.822</p>
<p>h = 4.5858</p>
<p>h = 4.59&#8243;</p>
<p>Thus after two minutes the pile has a height of 4.59&#8243;</p>

Solution :
3x -2y = 3 &#8212;&#8212;- (1)
x = y + 4 &#8212;&#8212;- (2)
Use equation (2) in (1) for substitution method
So, 3x -2y = 3
3(y+4) &#8211; 2y = 3
3y + 12 &#8211; 2y = 3
