Answer: the starting temperature is - 7 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the starting temperature.

Then the temperature doubled. It means that it became 2x degrees

Then the temperature dropped by 10 degrees. It means that it became 2x - 10 degrees.

Then the temperature increased by 40 degrees. It means that it became 2x - 10 + 40 = 2x + 30 degrees.

If the temperature is now 16 degrees, it means that

2x + 30 = 16

2x = 16 - 30

2x = - 14

x = - 14/2

x = - 7 degrees

1. Find the surface area of the square pyramid shown below?
Igoryamba

Answer:

1. 40.00 sq units

2. 37.5 sq units

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given slant height as 3 and the square base side as 4,

-The surface area of a right squared pyramid is calculated by summing the areas of the 4 triangles and the square base:

Area=Area \ Triangles+Base  \ Area\\\\=4(\frac{1}{2}bh)+s^2\\\\=4(0.5\times 4\times 3)+4^2\\\\=24+16\\\\=40

Hence, the area of the square pyramid is 40.00 sq units

2. The surface area of a cube is equivalent to 6 times the side of one face.

-Given the dimension of the sides as 2.5, surface area is obtained as:

A=6s^2\\\\=6(2.5\times2.5)\\\\=37.5

Hence, the surface area of the cube is 37.5 sq units

Toby exercises 14 hours a week. John exercises 20% more than Toby and Jenny exercises two more hours than John. Which expression
Sedaia [141]

Answer: C. 18.8w

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Toby exercise 14hours a week, and John exercises 20% more than Toby

John increment in number of hours compared to Tobi will be;

20/100 ×14 = 2.8hrs

This shows John exercises 2.8hrs more than Tobi. Total number of hours exercised by John will become;

14+2.8 = 16.8hrs

Since Jenny exercises two more hours than John, Total number of hours exercised by Jenny will be;

16.8hrs+2hrs

= 18.8hrs/week

If Jenny exercise 18.8hrs in a week, it means she will exercise 18.8×w/1 in w weeks which gives 18.8w weeks.

adoni [48]

Answer:

The answer is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

1- Suppose we have following array of ten integers: 5 3 8 9 1 7 0 2 6 4.

2- Before the last merge, the left half and the right half must be sorted. So it should be

1 3 5 8 9 0 2 4 6 7

Therefore the solution is 2.
