STALIN [3.7K]3 years ago

It's a simultaneous equation:
Steps:
1.Number the equations..

a+b=77 -1
a-b=13 -2

2. Choose what variable you want to use. In this case I would use the "b". Since the signs in front of the "b's" are different, add the two equations together

a + b = 77
+ + +
a (-b) = 13

Which gives;
2a = 90

Then solve to find a:
2a=90
a= 90/2
a=45

3.Then plug the "a" value into any of the original equations to find the "b" value. I would use equation 1 since the all the variables are positive.

a + b = 77
(45) + b = 77
b=77-45
b=32

4.Solution

a=45
b=32

What is the surface area of the figure?
s2008m [1.1K]
This is a prism. The surface area is:
S=2 Ab+Al
Area of the base: Ab=(14 cm)(7 cm)+(14 cm-7 cm)(7 cm)
Ab=98 cm^2+(7 cm)(7 cm)
Ab=98 cm^2+49 cm^2
Ab=147 cm^2

Lateral area: Al=Pb h
Perimeter of the base: Pb=14 cm+14 cm+7 cm+7 cm+(14 cm-7 cm)+7 cm
Pb=14 cm+14 cm+7 cm+7 cm+14 cm-7 cm+7 cm
Pb=3(14 cm)+2(7 cm)
Pb=42 cm+14 cm
Pb=56 cm

Height of the prism: h=5 cm

Al=Pb h = (56 cm)(5 cm)
Al=280 cm^2

S=2 Ab+Al
S=2(147 cm^2)+280 cm^2
S=294 cm^2+280 cm^2
S=574 cm^2

Answer: Option D. 574 cm^2

Which pair of numbers, if included in this set, would not change the median?
sattari [20]

Answer:

A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Order the set first

27, 28, 35, 37, 43, 47

Median now is: 36 (which is the mean between 35 and 37, the two central numbers )

If you add A) 35,50 then you will still have to compute the mean between 35 and 37 in order to find the median, because you have:

27,28,35,35,37,43,47,50
