If we represents a book's cost as x, that would mean that 5*x would represent the cost of 5 books (as x+x+x+x+x=5x) and 4x would be 4, resulting in 5x+4x=9x. After that, we get that 19 books is 19x as the cost, but since Agnus gets a 10 dollar discount, it's 19x-10. After that, to combine the two, we notice that Agnus still spends 5$ more than what they spent combined (9x) so we get that 9x+5=19x-10. Subtracting 9x from both sides, we get 10x-10=5. Adding 10 to both sides there, we get 10x=15 and we can divide 10 by both sides to get x=1.5

Answer:

$17.57

Step-by-step explanation:

well she wants to buy 3 1/2 so you make it improper to, 7/2 so then you make the price of the rainbow paper scrap a fraction, so thatll be 5.02, 502/100, then multiply,

7/2x502/100

3.5x5.02

Find the area ratio of a regular octahedron and a tetrahedron regular, knowing that the diagonal of the octahedron is equal to h

Anton [14]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a regular octahedron is given by:

area = $2\sqrt{3}\ *edge^2$ . Let a is the length of the edge (diagonal).

area = $2\sqrt{3}\ *a^2$

Given that the diagonal of the octahedron is equal to height (h) of the tetrahedron i.e.

a = h, where h is the height of the tetrahedron and a is the diagonal of the octahedron. Let the edge of the tetrrahedron be e. To find the edge of the tetrahedron, we use:

$h=\sqrt{\frac{2}{3} } e\\but\ h=a\\a=\sqrt{\frac{2}{3} } e\\e=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2} }a$
