Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the lateral surface area of the cube.
The lateral surface area of a cube is given as:
where a = length of side of the cube
Therefore, given that the length of the side of the cube is 2.5 inches, the area you need to paint is:
Answer:
(-2.2, -1.6), (3, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
You don't have to go far to find the equations. They are right there in your problem statement. Perhaps you want to find the solutions to the equations.
Use the first equation to write an expression for x, then substitute that into the second equation:
x = 2y +1
y^2 -3(2y+1)(y) +8 = 0
-5y^2 -3y +8 = 0
-(5y +8)(y -1) = 0
y = -8/5 or y = 1
The corresponding values of x are ...
x = 2(-8/5)+1 = -11/5
x = 2(1) +1 = 3
The solutions are (x, y) = (-2.2, -1.6) and (3, 1).
