In a triangle, the sum of all angles is always 180°. Given angles of 45° and 65°, we can find the third angle (x) by subtracting the sum of the known angles from 180°: x = 180° - (45° + 65°) = 180° - 110° = 70°. Thus, the value of x is 70°.

The circumference of a circle is calculated using the formula \(C = 2\pi r\), where \(r\) is the radius. Given a radius of 7 cm, the calculation becomes \(C = 2\pi \times 7 = 14\pi\) cm. Thus, the circumference of the circle is 14π cm.

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its length by its width. Here, the length is 12 m and the width is 5 m. So, area = 12 m × 5 m = 60 m². This calculation shows that the area of the rectangle is 60 square meters.

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are equal. Since one angle measures 120°, its corresponding angle, located in the same relative position on the other parallel line, also measures 120°. Thus, the measure of the corresponding angle is 120°.

To find the area of a circle, use the formula A = πr². The radius (r) is half the diameter, so for a diameter of 10 m, the radius is 5 m. Thus, the area is A = π(5)² = π(25) = 25π m².

In a right triangle, the lengths of the legs can be used to find the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean theorem: \(c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\). Here, \(a = 3\) cm and \(b = 4\) cm. Calculating gives \(c = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5\) cm.

The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying its three dimensions: length, width, and height. Each dimension contributes to the overall space the prism occupies. Therefore, to complete the formula for volume, height is the necessary third dimension.

The volume of a cube is calculated using the formula \( V = s^3 \), where \( s \) is the side length. For a cube with a side length of 4 cm, the volume is \( 4^3 = 64 \) cm³. Thus, the volume of the cube is 64 cm³.

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180°. Given one angle is 75°, to find the other angle, subtract 75° from 180°: 180° - 75° = 105°. Thus, the other angle measures 105°.

The sum of the interior angles in a polygon can be calculated using the formula (n - 2) × 180°, where n is the number of sides. For a pentagon, n equals 5. Thus, the calculation is (5 - 2) × 180° = 3 × 180° = 540°.

To find the area of a trapezoid, use the formula: Area = (1/2) × (Base1 + Base2) × Height. Here, Base1 is 8 m, Base2 is 12 m, and Height is 5 m. Plugging in the values: Area = (1/2) × (8 + 12) × 5 = (1/2) × 20 × 5 = 50 m².

To find the distance between the points (2, 3) and (5, 7), we use the distance formula: √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]. Substituting the values, we calculate √[(5 - 2)² + (7 - 3)²] = √[3² + 4²] = √[9 + 16] = √25 = 5. Thus, the distance is approximately 5.
