Surface area= 24 ft^2

A cube has 6 faces, so the surface area of 1 face would be 24/6, which is 4 ft^2.

The formula for the area of a square is l x w, but in a square both are equal so you're essentially squaring one side.

Therefore, the area of a square ( 4 ft^2 ) can be square-rooted in order to find the length of an edge.

$\sqrt{4}$ = 2

Therefore, the length of 1 edge of the cube is 2 ft

How many minutes did Todd use in October

Natalija [7]

Answer:

100 minutes cost Todd $24. He had extra bill of 26.38 - 24 = $2.38

$2.38 = 238 cents

7 cents billed for 1 extra minute

1 cents billed for 1/7 extra minute

238 cents billed for 238/7 = 34 extra minutes

total minutes = 134 minutes

Find the positive value of x in the geometric sequence 7x-2,4x+4,3x

Goryan [66]

Hello,

Let's assume k the ratio.

$
 \left \{ {{3x=k*(4x+4)} \atop {4x+4=k*(7x-2)}} \right. \\\\
 \left \{ {{3x-4kx=4k} \atop {4x-7kx=-2k-4}} \right. \\\\
 \left \{ {{x(3-4k)=4k} \atop {x(4-7k)=-2k-4}} \right. \\\\
 \left \{ {{x=\dfrac{4k}{3-4k} \atop {x=\dfrac{-2k-4}{4-7k} \right. \\\\

\dfrac{4k}{3-4k}=\dfrac{-2k-4}{4-7k}\\\\

36k^2-6k-12=0\\
6k^2-k-2=0\\

\boxed{k= \dfrac{2}{3} \ or\ k= -\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\\

x=\dfrac{4*\dfrac{2}{3} }{3-4*\dfrac{2}{3} }=8\\
x=\dfrac{4*\dfrac{-1}{2} }{3-4*\dfrac{-1}{2} }=-\dfrac{2}{5}\\





$

$\boxed{x= 8 \ or\ x= -\dfrac{2}{5}}\\\\$

What is the value of y in the solution to the system of equations? 1x + 1y = 1 2x – 3y = -30

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{3} x + \frac{1}{4}y= 1\\\\\frac{4x+3y}{12} =1\\4x+ 3y =12\\y = \frac{12-4x}{3}$
