<u>Answer</u>

y= 105

 

<u>Explanation</u>

X=8

Y=20

So,

x/y = 8/20

      = 2/5

x=(2/5)y

y= (5/2)x

When x=42

y=(5/2)×42

   =105

In this problem, we need to use the concept of proportions. Proportion says that two ratios (or fractions) are equal. So, we have two numbers, namely:

x=8 \ and \ y=20

So, the given proportion is:

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{8}{20} \\ \\ \therefore \frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{5}

That is, x-out-of-y is equal to 2-out-of-5

On the other hand, we know that x=42, so by using the previous proportion we have:

\frac{42}{y}=\frac{2}{5} \\ \\ Isolating \ y: \\ \\ y=\frac{42 \times 5}{2} \\ \\ y=\boxed{105}

When the lines are parallel and angles are given, and since a straight line is 180°, the 2 angles of the line intersecting the parallel lines have to add up to be 180. Therefore,

What is the surface area of this composite solid?______________ square feet 242 319 363 517
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

<h2>The right answer is 415.4 cubic feet.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can observe in the image attached, the composite figure is formed by a square prism and a pyramid on top.

We need to find the volum of each part separately.

<h3> Square prism.</h3>

V_{prims}=11 \times 11 \times 2=242 \ ft^{3}

<h3>Square pyramid.</h3>

First, we need to find the height of the pyramid. We already know the height of each triangular face of the pyramid, which divides equally the side.

Let's use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the height of the pyramid.

7^{2}=h^{2} +(5.5)^{2}\\  49-30.25=h^{2}\\ h=\sqrt{18.75} \approx 4.3

The height is 4.3 feet, approximately.

Now, we find the volume of the pyramid

V_{pyramid}=\frac{1}{3}(11 \times 11 \times 4.3) \approx 173.4ft^{3}

The sum of both figures represents the total volume of the composite figure

V_{total}=242+173.4=415.4ft^{3}

Therefore, the right answer is 415.4 cubic feet.
