Triangular prism is better deal as the volume of triangular prism is greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The volume of prism is: V=Bh

Where B is the base area and h is the height of the prism.

It is given that the trapezoidal prism with a base area of 33 square inches and a height of 4 inches.

The volume of the trapezoidal prism is:

V=33(4)\\V=132

Hence, the volume of trapezoidal prism is 132 in³.

Now calculate the volume of triangular prism with a base area of 34 square inches and a height of 5 inches.

Cameron buys 2.45 pounds of apples and 1.65 pounds of pears. Apples and pears each cost c dollars per pound. If the total cost a
nordsb [41]

Answer:

4.12=2.45c+1.65c

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given,

Cameron buys 2.45 pounds of apple and 1.65 pounds of pears.

Also, the cost of apples and pears is 'c' dollars per pound.

Thus, the cost of 2.45 pounds of apple is 2.45c dollars and the cost of 1.65 pounds of pear is 1.65c dollars.

Since, the total cost after using a coupon is $4.12.

So, we get the equation representing the situation is,

Total cost = Total cost of apples + Total cost of pears.

i.e. 4.12=2.45c+1.65c

i.e. 4.12=4.1c

i.e. c=\frac{4.12}{4.1}

i.e. c = 1 dollar

Hence, the required equation to find c is 4.12=2.45c+1.65c.
