A x b = 24

Possible values of a and b are:
1 x 24 = 24
2 x 12 = 24
3 x 8 =24
4 x 6 = 24

The possible sums of a and b are:
1 + 24 = 25
2 + 12 = 14
3 + 8 = 11
4 + 6 = 10

Therefore, the least possible sum of a and b is 10.

Answer:

The least possible sum is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two integers are "a" and "b".

The factors of 24 is: 2 × 2 × 2 × 3.

Thus, the possible combinations of "a" and "b" are:

2 and 12, 4 and 6, 8 and 3.

And, the sum of these combinations are: 2 +12 = 14

4 + 6 = 10

8 + 3 = 11

Thus, the least possible sum is 10 which is the combination of 4 and 6.

Answer:

d. 27 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of cube = s^3 = B * s

volume of pyramid = (1/3) * B * h

The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 of the area of the base multiplied by the height. The volume of a cube is the area of the base multiplied by the height. Since the volume of a pyramid has the fraction 1/3 and the volume of the cube does not, then the volume of a cube is 3 times greater than the volume of a pyramid that fits inside and has the same base area.

volume of pyramid = 9 cu ft

volume of cube = 3 * 9 cu ft = 27 cu ft

Answer: d. 27 cubic feet

State which of the following sets of ordered pairs represent a function.

anastassius [24]

Answer:

d. Set A and Set B

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given three sets:

Set A: (5, 2), (4, 3), (3, 4), (2, 5)

Set B: (-1, -6), (0, 2), (1, 2), (3, 6)

Set C: (2, 1), (4, 2), (2, 3), (8, 4)

Now we need to state about which of the following sets of ordered pairs represent a function.

We know that a function can't have repeated values in domain that is x-value can't repeat.

we see that set C has repeated x-value "2".

Then set C is not a function.

Hence correct choice is:

d. Set A and Set B

a) Cube area = 6a^2

a = 6(5.25)^2

5.25 * 5.25 = 27.5625 * 6 = 165.375

Rounded, thats 165.38

b) Rectangular prism area = 2(wl + hl + hw)

Lets say l = 6.8, w = 8.2, h = 10

It equals about 441.52

State whether the following coordinates on a Cartesian plane form an acute, obtuse or right triangle: a) (-1, 1), (7,-2) and (1,

LiRa [457]

Answer:

a) Acute triangle

b) Right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ A triangle having sides a, b and c is called,

Acute : If a² + b² > c² or a² + c² > b² or b² + c² > a²,

Obtuse : if a² + b² < c² or a² + c² < b² or b² + c² < a²

Right : a² + b² = c² or a² + c² = b² or b² + c² = a²,

a) Let A≡(-1, 1), B≡(7,-2) and C≡(1,-5),

By the distance formula,

$AB=\sqrt{(7-(-1))^2+(-2-1)^2}=\sqrt{(7+1)^2+(-3)^2}=\sqrt{8^2+3^2}=\sqrt{64+9}=\sqrt{73}\text{ unit}$

Similarly,

$BC=\sqrt{45}\text{ unit}$

$CA=\sqrt{40}\text{ unit}$

∵ The sum of any two sides is greater than third side,

So, ABC is a triangle,

Now,

$AB^2 + BC^2 > CA^2$

⇒ ABC is an acute triangle.

b) Let P≡(0,6), Q≡(1,2) and R≡(5,3),

By the distance formula,

PQ = √17 unit,

QR = √17 unit,

RP = √34 unit,

∵ The sum of any two sides of PQR is greater than third side,

⇒ PQR is a triangle ,

Also,

$RP^2=PQ^2+QR^2$

Hence, PQR is a right triangle.
