S = 2 (lw + lh + hw)
S = 2 ((8.5)(11) + (8.5)(2) + (11)(2))
S = 2 (93.5 + 17 + 22)
S = 2 (132.5)
S = 265 sq in

Answer:

(a) x=2, y=-1

(b) x=2, y=2

(c) $\displaystyle x=\frac{5}{2}, y=\frac{5}{4}$

(d) x=-2, y=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Cramer's Rule

It's a predetermined sequence of steps to solve a system of equations. It's a preferred technique to be implemented in automatic digital solutions because it's easy to structure and generalize.

It uses the concept of determinants, as explained below. Suppose we have a 2x2 system of equations like:

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{ax+by=p} \atop {cx+dy=q}} \right.$

We call the determinant of the system

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}a &b \\c &d \end{vmatrix}$

We also define:

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}p &b \\q &d \end{vmatrix}$

And

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}a &p \\c &q \end{vmatrix}$

The solution for x and y is

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}$

(a) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{x+y=1} \atop {x-2y=4}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\1 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-1=-3$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\4 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-4=-6$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\1 &4 \end{vmatrix}=4-3=3$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{3}{-3}=-1$

The solution is x=2, y=-1

(b) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{4x-y=6} \atop {x-y=0}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}4 &-1 \\1 &-1 \end{vmatrix}=-4+1=-3$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-1 \\0 &-1 \end{vmatrix}=-6-0=-6$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}4 &6 \\1 &0 \end{vmatrix}=0-6=-6$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

The solution is x=2, y=2

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{-x+2y=0} \atop {x+2y=5}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}-1 &2 \\1 &2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-2=-4$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}0 &2 \\5 &2 \end{vmatrix}=0-10=-10$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}-1 &0 \\1 &5 \end{vmatrix}=-5-0=-5$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-10}{-4}=\frac{5}{2}$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{-5}{-4}=\frac{5}{4}$

The solution is

$\displaystyle x=\frac{5}{2}, y=\frac{5}{4}$

(d) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{6x-y=-5} \atop {4x-2y=6}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-1 \\4 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-12+4=-8$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}-5 &-1 \\6 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=10+6=16$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-5 \\4 &6 \end{vmatrix}=36+20=56$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{16}{-8}=-2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{56}{-8}=-7$

The solution is x=-2, y=-7

A trap to catch fruit flies uses a cone in a jar. The cone is shown with a height of 10 centimeters (cm) and a radius of 6 centi

Tresset [83]

Answer:

120 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 1/3pi(6)^2(10)

just plug them into the calculator using pi.

b. pi is more accurate because you aren't round to 3.14. If you use 3.14 your answer will be rounded and not an exact number.

Explain how the commutative property of addition,the Associative property of addition and mental math can help you find 75.2+(57

4vir4ik [10]

Answer: The sum of 75.2+(57.376+24.8) is 157.376.

Explanation:

The commutative property of addition states that,

$a+b=b+a$

The associative property of addition states that,

$a+(b+c)=(a+b)+a$

The given expression is 75.2+(57.376+24.8).

First use commutative property of addition in the parenthesis.

$75.2+(57.376+24.8)=75.2+(24.8+57.376)$

Now use associative property of addition.

$75.2+(24.8+57.376)=(75.2+24.8)+57.376$

Now simplify the expression,

$(75.2+24.8)+57.376=100+57.376$

$(75.2+24.8)+57.376=157.376$

Therefore, the sum of 75.2+(57.376+24.8) is 157.376.

The density of a certain material is such that it weighs 71 pounds for every 2.5 gallons of volume. Express this density in tons

kvasek [131]

Answer:

$d=3.75\ \text{tons per cubic meter}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a certain material, m = 71 pounds

Since, 1 ton = 2000 pounds

71 pounds = 0.0355 ton

Volume of the material, V = 2.5 gallons

Since, 1 m³ = 264.172 gallon

2.5 gallon = (2.5/264.172 ) m³

Density,

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{0.0355\ \text{tons}}{\dfrac{2.5}{264.172}\ m^3}\\\\d=3.75\ \text{tons per cubic meter}$
