<span> </span> <span> Let h = height. This makes the base h + 17.
h(h + 17)/2 = 55
h(h + 17) = 110
h^2 + 17h = 110
h^2 + 17h - 110 = 0
(h + 22)(h - 5) = 0
h = -22 or h = 5
Discard h = -22 because a negative height makes no sense, leaving just
h = 5in
base = 5 + 17 = 22in</span>

3 consecutive odd integers such that the sum of twice the first and three times the second is 55 more than twice the third
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Consecutive odd integers are 19 , 21 & 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first 3 consecutive odd intergers be x , (x + 2) and (x + 4).

According to the question,

2x + 3(x + 2) = 2(x + 4) + 55

=  > 2x + 3x + 6 = 2x + 8 + 55

Eliminating 2x from both the sides,

=  > 3x + 6 = 63

=  > 3x = 63 - 6 = 57

=  > x =  \frac{57}{3}  = 19

So, the consecutive odd integers are = 19 , 21 & 23.

1.)Find the height of a rectangular prism if the surface area is 148 cm2, the width is 4 cm and the length is 5 cm.
Contact [7]
1) surface of a rectangular prism=2(length x width)+2(length x height)+2(width x height)

Therefore:
148 cm²=2(5 cm x 4 cm)+2(5 cm x h)+2(4 cm x h)=
148 cm²=40 cm²+10 cm h+8 cm h
18 cm h=148 cm²-40 cm²
18 cm h=108 cm²
h=108 cm² / 18 cm=6 cm.

answer: height=6 cm 

2)
Volume of a rectangular prism= length x width x height 
therefore:
34 cm³=(1.7 cm)(0.5 cm) h
0.85 cm² h=34 cm³
h=34 cm³/0.85 cm²
h=40 cm.

answer: height=40 cm

3)
volume of a cylinder: πr²h
therefore.
118.79 ft³=πr²(5 ft)
r=√(118.79 ft³/5π ft)≈2.75 ft

answer: radius=2.75 ft

4)
 
Surface area of the pyramid with square base=4(A side)+A base
A side=(1/2)(8ft)(12 ft)=48 ft²
A base=(8 ft)(8 ft)=64 ft²

surface area=4(48 ft²)+64 ft²=256 ft²

Answer: the surface area of this pyramid would be 256 ft².

5)
surface of a cone=πrs+πr²
therefore:
radius=diameter/2=6.2 ft/2=3.1 ft
63.3 ft²=π(3.1 ft) s+π(3.1 ft)²
3.1π ft s=33.109 ft²
s=33.109 ft² /3.1π ft
s≈3.4 ft

Answer: the slant height would be 3.4 ft.

6)
volume of a square pyramid=(area of base x heigth)/3
therefore:
area of base=(6 ft)(6 ft)=36 ft²
126.97 ft³=36 ft² h /3
h=126.97 ft³/12 ft²=10.58 ft

answer: the height would be 10.58 ft.

7)
volume of a cone =(base x height)/3
base of a cone=πr²
therefore: 
199.23 cm³=πr²(9 cm)/3
r=√(199.23 cm³ / 3π cm)≈4.6 cm

answer: the radius would be 4.6 cm.

681/4 i dont know this
ankoles [38]

Answer:

170.25

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a bit tricky to do not on plain paper, but here:

Just assume the long division symbol looks right

  _1_7_0_.25

4 ) 681

    -4

     2 8

     -2 8

          0  1

The remainder is "1", so you'll just have to write that as either a fraction or decimal, whatever is assigned.

Fraction: 170 1/4

Decimal: 170.25
