Answer:

w = (S/2 - lh) ÷ (l + h)

Step-by-step explanation:

S = 2(lw + lh + wh)

S/2 = lw + lh + wh

S/2 - lh = lw + wh

S/2 - lh = w(l + h)

(S/2 - lh) ÷ (l + h) = w

w = (S/2 - lh) ÷ (l + h)

Answer:

382 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The central four rectangles down the middle of the net are 9 units wide, and alternate between 8 and 7 units high. Then the area of those four rectangles is ...

9(8+7+8+7) = 270 . . . square units

The rectangles making up the two left and right "wings" of the net are 8 units high and 7 units wide, so have a total area of ...

2×(8)(7) = 112 . . . square units

Then the area of the figure computed from the net is ...

270 +112 = 382 . . . square units

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can reject the first two answer choices immediately, because they are odd. Each face will have an area that is the product of integers, so will be an integer. There are two faces of each size, so <em>the total area of this figure must be an even number</em>.

You may recognize that the dimensions are 8, 8+1, 8-1. Then the area is roughly that of a cube with dimensions of 8: 6×8² = 384. If you use these values (8, 8+1, 8-1) in the area formula, you find the area is actually 384-2 = 382. That area formula is A = 2(LW +H(L+W)).

Answer:

The three numbers are 341, 342, and 343

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 1026. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 1026

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 1026

3X + 3 = 1026

3X + 3 - 3 = 1026 - 3

3X = 1023

3X/3 = 1023/3

X = 341

Which means that the first number is 341, the second number is 341 + 1 and the third number is 341 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 1026 are 341, 342, and 343.

341 + 342 + 343 = 1026

We know our answer is correct because 341 + 342 + 343 equals 1026 as displayed above.

Answer:

Exercise 1: The length of the unknown leg is 4 inches.

Exercise 3: The following straws can be used to construct the triangle: b) $3\,in$ , c) $4.5\,in$ , d) $6.5\,in$ , e) $10\,in$ , f) $13.5\,in$

Exercise 4: Possible options of this exercise: 1) (2, 4, 5), 2) (4, 5, 6), 3) (5, 6, 10), 4) (1, 2, 11), 5) (1, 4, 11), 6) (1, 10, 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

Exercise 1:

Let suppose that triangle represented in the figure is a right triangle, the length of the missing leg is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

$y = \sqrt{l^{2}-x^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$l$ - Hypotenuse, in inches.

$x$ - Known leg, in inches.

$y$ - Unknown leg, in inches.

If we know that $l = 11\,in$ and $x = 10\,in$ , then the length of the unknown leg is:

$y = \sqrt{21}$

Since 4 is the least whole number closest to $\sqrt{21}$ , then we conclude that the length of the unknown leg is 4 inches.

Exercise 3:

The range of possible lengths for the missing side of the triangle is represented by the following simultaneous inequality:

$x + y > l > x-y$ (2)

Where:

$x$ - Greater side, in inches.

$y$ - Lesser side, in inches.

$l$ - Missing side, in inches.

If we know that $x = 8\,in$ and $y = 6\,in$ , then we have the following range of missing sides:

$14\,in > l > 2\,in$

The following straws can be used to construct the triangle: b) $3\,in$ , c) $4.5\,in$ , d) $6.5\,in$ , e) $10\,in$ , f) $13.5\,in$

Exercise 4:

Let check each pair to determine possible constructions by means of the inequality used in Exercise 3:

(i) $x = 4\,in, y = 2\,in$

$6\,in>l>2\,in$

Possible choices: 5 inches.

(ii) $x = 5\,in, y = 2\,in$

$7\,in > l > 3\,in$

Possible choices: 4 inches, 6 inches.

(iii) $x = 6\,in, y = 2\,in$

$8\,in > l > 4\,in$

Possible choices: 5 inches, 6 inches.

(iv) $x = 10\,in, y = 2\,in$

$12\,in > l > 8\,in$

Possible choices: None.

(v) $x = 5\,in, y = 4\,in$

$9\,in > l > 1\,in$

Possible choices: 2 inches, 6 inches.

(vi) $x = 6\,in, y = 4\,in$

$10\,in > l > 2\,in$

Possible choices: 5 inches.

(vii) $x = 10\,in, y = 4\,in$

$14\,in > l > 6\,in$

Possible choices: None.

(viii) $x = 6\,in, y = 5\,in$

$11\,in > l > 1\,in$

Possible choices: 2 inches, 4 inches, 10 inches.

(ix) $x = 10\,in, y = 5\,in$

$15\,in > l > 5\,in$

Possible choices: 6 inches.

(x) $x = 10\,in, y = 6\,in$

$16\,in > l > 4\,in$

Possible choices: 5 inches.

Possible options of this exercise: 1) (2, 4, 5), 2) (4, 5, 6), 3) (5, 6, 10), 4) (1, 2, 11), 5) (1, 4, 11), 6) (1, 10, 11)
