The right answer is Option D: S>$300,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Base salary of Alan = $18000

Commission = 9% = $\frac{9}{100} = 0.09$

Amount Alan wants to earn = $45000 or more

Let,

s be the worth he needs to sell.

Therefore,

Base salary + Commission*Total sales>Amount Alan wants to earn

18000+0.09s>45000

$0.09s>45000-18000\\0.09s>27000$

Dividing both sides by 0.09

$\frac{0.09s}{0.09}>\frac{27000}{0.09}\\s>300000$

Alan must sold items that worth at least $300,000.

The right answer is Option D: S>$300,000.

True, just plug the slope and points into the formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where y1 is the y number, m is the slope, and x1 is the x number.

Part B if the height of each prism is 10 Cm what is the surface area prism

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Prism A:

$Area = 288cm^2$

Prism B:

$Area =250cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for prisms

$Height(h) = 10cm$

Required

Determine the surface area of both prisms

Prism A is triangular and as such, the surface area is:

$Area = 2 * A_b + (a + b + c) * h$

Where

$A_b = \sqrt{s * (s - a) * (s -b) * (s - c)}$

and

$s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}$

Such that a, b and c are the lengths of the triangular sides of the prism.

From the attachment;

$a = 8; b =6; c =10$

So, we have:

$s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}$

$s = \frac{8 + 6 + 10}{2}$

$s = \frac{24}{2}$

$s = 12$

Also:

$A_b = \sqrt{s * (s - a) * (s -b) * (s - c)}$

$A_b = \sqrt{12 * (12 - 8) * (12 - 6) * (12 - 10)}$

$A_b = \sqrt{576}$

$A_b = 24$

So:

$Area = 2 * A_b + (a + b + c) * h$

$Area = 2 * 24 + (8 + 6 + 10) * 10$

$Area = 288cm^2$

Prism B is a rectangular prism. So, the area is calculated as:

$Area = 2 * (ab + bh + ah)$

From the attachment

$a = b = 5$

$h =10$

So:

$Area =2 * (5 * 5 + 5 * 10 + 5 * 10)$

$Area =250cm^2$

The graph shows the solution to which system of inequalities?

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The orange one is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to find the solution is to plug in one of the coordinates that is located in the shaded area into each equation. If the equations make sense, as they do in the orange option, you have your answer.

Hope this helps you!
