If the side of square P is x and the side of square Q is y, we have x+y=26. In addition, 3*the perimeter of P+8*4y=3*4x+32y=12x+32y=492.
We have
x+y=26
12x+32y=492
Multiplying the first equation by -12 and adding it to the second, we get
20y=180 and dividing by 20 we get y=9. Plugging it into the first equation, we get 26-9=17=x. Since the area of square P is x^2 and Q is y^2,
x^2+y^2=19^2+7^2=410=the sum of the squares
22 would be the answer. You reverse the equation so you multiply 3 and add 7 5x3 = 15 15+7= 22
I think it’s this but I’m not sure
Let's go though the choices.
Major axis will get shorter. TRUE, CHECK ME
As the plane moves closer to the vertex the ellipse stays the same shape but shrinks.
Ellipse will become a circle. FALSE
As long as the plane is tilted, the ellipse can't be a circle.
Ellipse will degenerate to a point. TRUE, CHECK ME
Eventually the plane gets to the vertex, at which point (ha!) we have a single point.
Nappes? Is that a word? FALSE
The plane needs a steeper angle, steeper than the generators, before it can pass through both halves.
The generators are the lines through the vertex that form the cone. The plane isn't steep enough to hold any of them. FALSE
Answer:
They will pay the same amount!
