What does it mean if u have a number in front of a square root?

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:

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

$Area =250cm^2$

Which of the following is the best buy?

-BARSIC- [3]

The $1.25 one for 9 Oz box of rice would be the best buy.

<h3>How to find the Unit Price?</h3>

To get the best buy among the given items and prices, we need to find the unit price. Thus, the formula is;

Unit price = Price/Quantity

A) Unit Price = 0.90/6 = 0.15

B) Unit Price = 1.93/12 = 0.15083

C) Unit price = 2.42/16

Unit Price = 0.15125

D) Unit Price = 1.25/9 = 0.138

The $1.25 one for 9 Oz box of rice would be the best buy.

Rewrite the expression $6j^2 - 4j 12$ in the form $c(j p)^2 q$, where $c$, $p$, and $q$ are constants. What is $\frac{q}{p}$

solniwko [45]

$Rewrite the expression 6j^2 - 4j + 12$ in the form $c(j + p)^2 + q$, where $c$, $p$, and $q$ are constants. What is $\frac{q}{p}$$

The ratio of $\frac{q}{p}$ = - 34

How to solve such questions?

Such Questions can be easily solved just by some Algebraic manipulations and simplifications. We just try to make our expression in the form which question asks us. This is the best method to solve such questions as it will definitely lead us to correct answers. One such method is completing the square method.

Completing the square is a method that is used for converting a quadratic expression of the form $ax^{2} + bx + c$ to the vertex form

$a(x - h)^{2} + k$ . The most common application of completing the square is in solving a quadratic equation. This can be done by rearranging the expression obtained after completing the square: $a(x + m)^{2} + n$ , such that the left side is a perfect square trinomial
