Part 1) Finding x
Note the double tickmarks for segments XY and YZ. This indicates the segments are the same length, which leads to point Y being the midpoint of segment XZ.
Therefore, XZ is twice as long as XY
XZ = 2*( XY )
XZ = 2*( 2x-1 )
XZ = 4x - 2
We also know that XZ = 2(3x-4) = 6x-8. Let's equate 4x-2 and 6x-8 and solve for x
6x-8 = 4x-2
6x-4x = -2+8
2x = 6
x = 6/3
x = 3
<h3>Answer is 3</h3>
=====================================
Part 2) Finding the length of YZ
The resut of part 1 (x = 3) is plugged into the equation for XY to get
XY = 2*x-1
XY = 2*3-1
XY = 6-1
XY = 5
Segment XY is 5 units long. So is segment YZ as these two segments are the same length (aka congruent).
<h3>Answer: 5</h3>
=====================================
Part 3) Finding the length of segment XZ
The answer from the previous part was 5. This doules to 5*2 = 10
-----
A longer way to get the same answer is to plug x = 3 into the XZ equation and we get...
XZ = 2*(3x-4)
XZ = 2*(3*3-4)
XZ = 2*(9-4)
XZ = 2*5
XZ = 10
and we get the same answer
<h3>Answer: 10</h3>
Answer:
12 nickels
36 dimes
52 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = no. of nickels
3x = no. of dimes
x + 40 = no. of quarters
5x = value of the nickels since each nickel is 5 cents
10(3x) = 30x = value of the dimes since each dime is 10 cents
25(x + 40) = 25x + 1000 = value of the quarters since each quarter is 25 cents
Now, 5x + 30x + 25x + 1000 = 1720 ($17.20 = 1720 cents)
60x + 1000 = 1720
60x = 720
x = 12 nickels
3x = 36 dimes
x + 40 = 52 quarters
Check: 12 nickels are worth $.60
36 dimes are worth $3.60
52 quarters are worth $13
.60 + 3.60 + 13 = 17.20
The surface area of the rectangular prism is 427 mm². The correct option is the second option 427 mm²
<h3>Calculating surface area</h3>
From the question, we are to calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism
Surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated by using the formula,
Surface area = 2(lw + lh + wh)
Where l is the length
w is the width
and h is the height
In the given diagram,
l = 21.5 mm
w = 4 mm
h = 5 mm
Putting the parameters into the equation, we get
Surface area = 2(21.5×4 + 21.5×5 + 4×5)
Surface area = 2(86 + 107.5 + 20)
Surface area = 2 × 213.5
Surface area = 427 mm²
Hence, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 427 mm². The correct option is the second option 427 mm²
