Answer:

43 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's let the two unknown numbers be a and b.

Their sum is 48, therefore:

a+b=48

And their difference is 38. In other words:

a-b=38

We now have a system of equations. To solve, we can use substitution. First, add b to both sides in the second equation:

a=38+b

Substitute this into the first equation:

(38+b)+b=48

Combine like terms:

2b+38=48

Subtract 38 from both sides:

2b=10

Divide both sides by 2:

b=5

So, one of the numbers is 5.

The sum of them is 48. Therefore, the other number is 48-5 or 43.

So, our two numbers are 43 and 5.

And we're done!

Cam's tent (shown below) is a triangular prism. Find the surface area, including the floor, of his tent.
SVEN [57.7K]

The surface area of the tent is 21.4 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area of a prism you must calculate:

1. The perimeter of the base

2. The area of the base

3. The height of the prism

We have a triangular prism:

Its base is an equilateral triangle of side length 2 m and height 1.7 m

The height of the prism is 3 m

∵ The surface are of the prism is:

   S.A = perimeter of the base × height + 2 × area of the base

∵ The perimeter of the equilateral triangle = 3 × length of a side

∵ The length of the side = 2 m

∴ The perimeter of the base = 3 × 2 = 6 m

∵ The area of the triangle = \frac{1}{2} × base × height

∵ The length of the base of the triangle = 2 m

∵ The height of the triangle = 1.7 m

∴ The area of the base = \frac{1}{2} × 2 × 1.7 = 1.7 m²

∵ S.A = perimeter of the base × height + 2 × area of the base

∵ The perimeter of the base = 6 m

∵ The area of the base = 1.7 m²

∵ The height of the prism = 3 m

∴ S.A = 6 × 3 + 2 × 1.7

∴ S.A = 18 + 3.4

∴ S.A = 21.4 m²

The surface area of the tent is 21.4 m²

What is 3/22 step by step?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would see how many times 3 would go into 22 and it would be 7 with a remainder of 1. Then you would do 7 times 3 which is 21. And 22 minus 21 is 1. Then your answer would be 7 with a remainder of 1. If you don't want a remainder, and you want a decimal then you would add a decimal point after the 22 and then add a 0. You would bring down the zero and then  the remainder of one would be 10 then you would see how much 3 goes into 10, and it only goes 3 times. Your answer would be 7.3 with a remainder of 1, If you keep going you will see it becomes a repeating decimal. *Hope it helped*
