Answer:

  • Nguyen family's sprinkler: 20 L per hour
  • Reed family's sprinkler: 35 L per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n and r represent the output in liters per hour of the Nguyen and Reed family sprinklers, respectively. Then we have ...

  15n +25r = 1175 . . . . total sprinkler output

  n + r = 55 . . . . . . . . . sum of two output rates

The second equation tells us we can substitute n = 55 -r into the first equation:

  15(55 -r) +25r = 1175

  10r = 1175 -825 . . . . . . subtract 825

  r = 350/10 = 35 . . . . . . divide by 10

  n - 55 -35 = 20 . . . . . . find n from r

Nguyen family's sprinkler: 20 L per hour

Reed family's sprinkler: 35 L per hour

Lateral faces are all the sides of the prisms EXCEPT the bases, which are the sides on the top and bottom. To find the area of the lateral faces we can use the formula: perimeter x height.

perimeter = 2 (6 + 8) = 2 x 14 = 28
height = 14
area of the lateral faces = perimeter x height = 28 x 14 = 392

Hope this helps!
