Answer:

9 feet on each edge

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Total surface of a cube is calculated by a formula S=6a² (a cube is made up by six squares, and its turn a square has 4 sides the same size.

We have S=6a²

Then:

$486=6a^{2} \\ \frac{486}{6}=\frac{6a^{2} }{6} \\81=a^{3} \\ \sqrt{81}=\sqrt{a^{2}} \\a=9$

So a cube has 12 edges each one sizes 9 feet

Answer:

b) 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 + 36 + 49 + 64 + 81 + 100 + 121

Step-by-step explanation:

$\Sigma_{k=1}^{16} (k - 5)^2 \\= (1- 5)^2 + (2- 5)^2 + (3- 5)^2 + \\ (4- 5)^2 + (5- 5)^2 + (6- 5)^2 \\+ (7- 5)^2 + (8- 5)^2 + (9- 5)^2 \\+ (10- 5)^2 + (11- 5)^2 + (12- 5)^2 \\+ (13- 5)^2 + (14- 5)^2 + (15- 5)^2\\ + (16- 5)^2 \\\\=(-4)^2 + (-3)^2 + (-2)^2 + (-1)^2 + (0)^2 \\+ (1)^2 + (2)^2 + (3)^2 + (4)^2 + (5)^2 \\+ (6)^2 + (7)^2 + (8)^2 + (9)^2 + (10)^2 + \\ (11)^2 \\\\=16 + 9 + 4 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 \\+ 36 + 49+ 64 + 81 + 100 + 121$

Angles X and Y are supplementary. Angle X is 3 times the measure of angle Y. What is the measure of angle X?

evablogger [386]

<span>supplementary angles sum = 180
</span>lets x = measure of angle Y

x + 3x = 180
4x = 180
x = 45

angle Y = 45
angle X = 3 x 45 = 135

answer
Angle X = 135
