Answer: a=36; b=18

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that the sum of two numbers is 54, then, you have:

a+b=54

2. According to the problem, the larger number is 18 more than the sampler number, this can be expressed as following:

a=b+18

3. Then, you must substitute the second equation into the first equation and solve for b:

b+18+b=54

b=18

4. Then the value of a is:

a+18=55

a=36

Mike is pouring a two foot cement sidewalk around the perimeter of his swimming pool. His swimming pool measures 6 feet by 14 fe

frosja888 [35]

9 inches * 1 foot / 12 inches
= 3/4 feet deep

Area of the sidewalk:
= the sides of the pool * the width of the sidewalk + the corners of the sidewalk (width * width)
= 2 sides * 6 (feet / side) * 2 feet + 2 sides * 14 (feet / side) * 2 feet + 4 corners * (2 feet * 2 feet / corner)
= 12 feet * 2 feet + 28 feet * 2 feet + 4 * 2 feet * 2 feet
= 24 feet^2 + 56 feet^2 + 16 feet^2
= 96 feet^2

Volume:
= 96 feet^2 * 3/4 feet
= (96 * 3 / 4) feet^3
= (19 * 3) feet^3
= 57 feet^3

Answer:

$RQ\cong UT$

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are congruent by AAS postulate if two adjacent corresponding angles are congruent and the next adjacent sides to any of the angles is are also congruent. The adjacent sides should not be in between the two congruent angles.

From the triangles RQS and UTV

$\angle R\cong \angle U\\\angle S\cong \angle V$
