Answer:

1200 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the prism is the sum of the lateral area and the areas of the bases.

<h3>lateral area</h3>

The lateral area is the total area of the three rectangular faces. It can be computed from ...

LA = Ph

where P is the perimeter of the triangular base, and h is the height of the prism (the distance between triangular bases).

The perimeter is the sum of the edge lengths of the base:

P = 30 in + 17 in + 17 in = 64 in

Then the lateral area is ...

LA = (64 in)(15 in) = 960 in²

The two bases are congruent triangles, so have a total area of ...

A = 2(1/2bh) = bh

where b is the base of the triangle, and h is its height.

A = (30 in)(8 in) = 240 in²

<h3>total surface area</h3>

The sum of lateral area and base area is ...

total area = (960 in²) +(240 in²) = 1200 in²

The surface area of the triangular prism is 1200 square inches.

An investment firm invested in two companies last year. They invested $11,000 in Company A and made a profit of 24% . They inves

Tema [17]

First off, "whatever%" of "anything" is just (whatever/100) * anything

part A)

so... firm A got 11,000 invested, turned a profit of 24%, how much is 24% of 11000? well (24/100) * 11000

firm B got 14,000 invested, and returned 15% in profits, how much is 15% of 14000? (15/100) * 14000

part B)

for the amounts above, we get 2640 and 2100 respectively

so, the total profit "amount" is 2640 + 2100 or 4740

the total investement was 11000+14000 = 25000

if 25000 is the 100%, how much is 4740 in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
25000&100\\
4740&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{25000}{4740}=\cfrac{100}{x}$

solve for "x"

Find the unknown side length x.

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

x = $\sqrt{65}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude of the triangle must equal 4 because it is a right triangle with another leg of 3 and a hypotenuse of 5 (reason is due to the pythagorean theorem)

Therefore, the triangle on the right has legs of 4 and 7 and, again, use the phythagorean theorem to find 'x' (the hypotenuse)

$4^{2}$ + $7^{2}$ = $x^{2}$

16 + 49 = $x^{2}$

65 = $x^{2}$

x = sq rt 65

If X = 2 centimeters, Y = 6 centimeters, and Z = 6 centimeters, what is the area of the object?

Sedbober [7]

In order to answer the question, it's absolutely essential to have
enough of a description of the object to know which of its parts
'X', 'Y', and 'Z' are, and what other parts it may have.

An ideal way to accomplish this would have been for you to include the
picture that accompanies the question, wherever you copied it from.

Simplify (2+3)squared-16 divided by 2

seraphim [82]

Answer:

it would be 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

basic explantion

step 1. 3+2 =5

step 2 5x5=25

step 3 25-16=9

step 4 9 divde by 2= 4.5

simplifyed it would be 25-16 ÷ 2

more deatialed explanation.

I added 3+2 to get 5 and i sqaured the 5 to get 25 becasue 5x5 is 25 then i took away 16 and got 9 then i divde 9 by 2 to get 4.5. hope this helped!
