Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call hens h and ducks d. The first algebraic equation says that 6 hens (6h) plus (+) 1 duck (1d) cost (=) 40.

The second algebraic equations says that 4 hens (4h) plus (+) 3 ducks (3d) cost (=) 36.

The system is

6h + 1d = 40

4h + 3d = 36

The best way to go about this is to solve it by substitution since we have a 1d in the first equation. We will solve that equation for d since that makes the most sense algebraically. Doing that,

1d = 40 - 6h.

Now that we know what d equals, we can sub it into the second equation where we see a d. In order,

4h + 3d = 36 becomes

4h + 3(40 - 6h) = 36 and then simplify. By substituting into the second equation we eliminated one of the variables. You can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, and now we do!

4h + 120 - 18h = 36 and

-14h = -84 so

h = 6.

That means that each hen costs $6. Since the cost of a duck is found in the bold print equation above, we will sub in a 6 for h to solve for d:

1d = 40 - 6(6) and

d = 40 - 36 so

d = 4.

That means that each duck costs $4.

The surface area of a three dimensional object is the sum of the areas of all its faces. Here we have a net of triangular prism, which if we were to fold would form a three dimensional shape.

We need to find the area of each face. Let's begin with the rectangle in the center which can be found by calculating its length times width:

26 * 10 = 260 in^2

Next, let's find the area of the other two rectangles. Although it does not specify that these rectangles are congruent (meaning the same), we know that they are because if they were different sizes, the prism would not fit together when folded. We can find the area of one rectangle and multiply by two:

26 * 13 = 338

338 * 2 = 676 in^2

Lastly, we have two triangles which are congruent for the same reason as the rectangles. The area of a triangle can be found by calculating one-half the base time the height:

0.5 * 10 * 12 = 60

Times two since there are two triangles:

60 * 2 = 120 in^2

Add up the areas:

260 + 676 + 120 = 1056 in^2

Multiply the surface area by 6 because there are 6 packages:

1056 * 6 = 6336 in^2

The answer is C.

Outline the steps for taking cross sections of a rectangular prism.
fgiga [73]

Answer:

  • find a suitable cutting tool
  • cut the prism on the plane of interest

Step-by-step explanation:

A cross section is the intersection of a cut plane with the object of interest. In a classroom setting, we often try to do the cross sectioning mentally or with diagrams, rather than physically cutting anything. Sometimes, there is no substitute for actually performing the cut to see what the cross section looks like.

For certain samples that don't take kindly to cutting, we sometimes encase them in a block of material that helps them hold their shape during the process. Sometimes the "cutting" is performed by grinding away the portion of the material on one side of the cut plane.
