Answer:
c = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2c – 4 = 3(4 – 2c)
Expand brackets:
⇒ 2c – 4 = 12 - 6c
Add 6c to both sides:
⇒ 8c – 4 = 12
Add 4 to both sides:
⇒ 8c = 16
Divide both sides by 8:
⇒ c = 2
7sqrt = 49 since the base is a square.
49 x 2 = 98 - since there's 2 of those identical squares.
7 x 5 = 35 - area of the rectangular face.
35 x 4 = 140 - since there's 4 of those faces.
140 added by 98 is 238.
So answer is B.
just use what you know about this stuff
(a+36d)/(a+20d) = (a+55d)/(a+36d)
(a+36d)^2 = (a+55d)(a+20d)
a^2+72ad+1296d^2 = a^2+75ad+1100d^2
3ad = 196d^2
3a = 196d
That is, for any value of n,
a=196n
d=3n
So, there is no unique solution.
If n=1, then a=196 and d=3. The terms are
196+20*3 = 256
196+36*3 = 304
196+55*3 = 361
304/256 = 361/304
You can easily verify that it works for any value of n.
