\bf A=
\begin{bmatrix}
\square &\square &\square &\square 
\end{bmatrix}\qquad \qquad 
B=
\begin{bmatrix}
\square &\square &\square &\square \\
\square &\square &\square &\square \\
\square &\square &\square &\square \\
\end{bmatrix}

notice above, the matrix A has 1 row 4 columns, a 1x4,
and the B matrix has 3 rows and 4 columns, 3x4.

since B has only 3 rows, not 4, no dice.

Answer: No. You cannot multiply the matrices in any order. A*B is not defined. Also, B*A is not defined.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation: 

Matrix A has 1 row, and 4 columns. 
Matrix B has 3 rows, and 4 columns

In order for A*B to be possible, A has to have the same number as columns as B has rows. In other words, the inner dimensions have to match up. The '4' in '1x4' needs to match up with the '3' in the '3x4'. This match doesn't happen. 

The same story happens with B*A, just things have been flipped. 

B has 3 rows, 4 columns
A has 1 row, 4 columns

The "4 columns" of B does not match with "1 row" of A.

--(4+h) = 3h<br> What is H
butalik [34]
H= -1

Distribute:

-(4+h)= -4 - h

-4 - h= 3h

-4 +h = 3h + h

-4= 4h

-1 = h

The radius of a semi-circle measures 5<br> units. Find its area.
shutvik [7]

Answer:

≈39.27 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a semi circle, you use the formula for finding the area of a circle, which is \pir^{2}, and then you divide that by 2 since it is half of a circle.

In this case, \pi(5)^{2} ≈ 78.54

\frac{78.54}{2} = 39.27

Please help me solve this equation
elena-s [515]

Answer:

m<U = 38degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram, <B = <U since both triangles are similar, hence;

Hence;

2y+2 = 3y-16

2y - 3y = -16 - 2

-y = -18

y = 18

Get m<U

m<U = 3y-16

m<U = 3(18) -16

m<U = 54 - 16

m<U = 38degrees
