Answer:

<h2>See below</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Terms are variables in math.

For example: 5x + 6y = is NOT like becuase x and y equal different things

4x + 2x = is like becuase x equals the same number in both

The reason we care about like terms is because we can simplify like terms.

4x + 2x simply equals 6x.

I'm always happy to help :)

The perimeter of a rectangle is 4040 yards. what are the dimensions of the rectangle with maximum area?

Ivanshal [37]

Let x be the length and y be the width2x + 2y = 40x + y = 20change that into y = mx + b formy= 20 – x
Area =xy = x (20-x) = 20x - x^2Area=-x^2+20xcomplete the square:Area=-(x^2 – 20x + 100) +100=-(x - 10)^2 + 100This is an calculation of a parabola that opens downward with vertex at (10,100), which means maximum area of 100 happens when x, the length=10)Dimensions of the rectangle with maximum area? 10 yds. by 10 yds., a square.

The oblique pyramid has a square base. What is the volume of the pyramid? 2.5 cm3 5 cm3 6 cm3 7.5 cm3

Olenka [21]

Take a look at the attachment below. It fills in for the attachment that wasn't provided in the question -

An oblique pyramid is one that has a top not aligned with the base. Due to this, the height of the pyramid connects with two vertices at its ends to form a right angle present outside the pyramid, knowing that it is always perpendicular to the base. There is no difference between the calculations of the volume of an oblique pyramid and a pyramid however -

$\\Base Area = 2 cm * 2 cm = 4 cm^2,\\Volume ( Pyramid ) = 1 / 3 * ( Base Area ) * ( Height ),\\Volume = 1 / 3 * ( 4 ) * ( 3.75 ),\\-------------------------\\Volume = 5 cm^3$

<u><em>And thus, you're solution is 5 cm^3, or in other words option b!</em></u>
