Answer:

No, it’s not possible according to calculations

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, the area of a rectangular prism is;

2(wl + wh + lh)

Where w is the width, l is the length and h is the height;

Making the substitutions with values in the question

Surface area = 2(6x + 3x + 3(6))

Surface Area = 2(9x + 18) = 18x + 36 square inches

Volume of rectangular prism = l * w * h

Making substitutions;

V = x * 6 * 3 = 18x cubic inches

So therefore to get the value of x, we equate the surface area to the volume;

18x = 18x + 36

We can see that 18x will cancel out and will render our equation invalid

The perimeter of a square is 44 centimeters. what is its area?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Perimeter = 44cm

we know that square has 4 sides which are same

so perimeter means sum of all 4 sides

4 × s = 44cm

s = 11cm

Each side will be of 11cm.

Now area of square is Square of its side length.

so area = 11 × 11 = 121 cm^2

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine which of the following give the measures of the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle
kakasveta [241]

The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to  the sum of the squares of the legs:

c^2=a^2+b^2.

The hypotenuse is the side with the greatest length.

Check all options:

1. c=5, a=3, b=4:

5^2=25,\\3^2+4^2=9+16=25,\\5^2=3^2+4^2 true.

2. c=14, a=4, b=11:

14^2=196,\\4^2+11^2=16+121=137,\\14^2\neq 4^2+11^2 false.

3. c=17, a=9, b=14:

17^2=289,\\9^2+14^2=81+196=277,\\17^2\neq 9^2+14^2 false.

4. c=16, a=8, b=14:

16^2=256,\\8^2+14^2=64+196=260,\\16^2\neq 8^2+14^2 false.

5. c=17, a=8, b=15:

17^2=289,\\8^2+15^2=64+225=289,\\17^2=8^2+15^2 true.

Answer: correct options are A and E.

Here are two offers for batteries.
trapecia [35]

OFFER A is cheaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

OFFER A

Pack of 5

£2.75

Pay for 3 packs get 1 free

And

OFFER A

Pack of 5

£2.75

Pay for 3 packs get 1 free

To find which offer is cheaper.

<u>For OFFER A</u>

For 4 Packets he needs to pay £2.75

He needs to buy 40 batteries.

He needs to buy 40÷(4×5) = 2 packets.

Total cost = £2.75 ×2 = £5.5

<u>For OFFER B</u>

For 4 Packets he needs to pay £2.52

He needs to buy 40 batteries.

He needs to buy 10 packets.

After discount he has to pay = £2.52 -(£2.52 ×\frac{1}{3}) = £1.68

Total cost = £1.68×10 = £16.8

Hence,

OFFER A is cheaper.
