How do I find the volume of this right triangular prism?

I’ll try to make a step by step demonstration! Feel free to skip to step 5 for the answer, though
1. The formula for a right triangular prism is (1/2)*base*height*length, and we know what the base (4 cm) and length (8 cm) are, but not the height
2. To find the height we must divide the side triangle into two, which then gives us two right triangles
3. Focusing on just one of the right triangles, its base will be 2 cm rather than 4 (as it has been divided by two) and its hypotenuse will be 4 cm; using Pythagorean’s theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), solve for the missing side (the height), which should end up being √12
4. Multiply! (1/2)4*√12*8 ≈ 55.425
5. Round to the nearest tenth —> 55.4
I hope this helped somewhat! Comment if clarification is needed

Answer:

Tiffani has 182 cards left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find one-third (1/3) of 273:

1/3 x 273 = 91

Therefore, she sells 91 cards.

273 - 91 = 182 cards left

Hope this helps :)

Answer: x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5 = 14

Subtract 5 from both sides

3x=9

Divide both sides by 3 to get x alone

x=3

Which expression is equivalent to square root 55x^7 y^6/11x^11 y^8? Assume x > 0 and y > 0.

morpeh [17]

The first step for solving this expression is to reduce the fraction with 11.
$\sqrt{ \frac{5 x^{7} y^{6} }{ x^{11} y^{8} } }$
Now reduce the fraction with $x^{7}$ .
$\sqrt{ \frac{5 y^{6} }{ x^{4} y^{8} } }$
Reduce the fraction one more time with $y^{6}$ .
$\sqrt{ \frac{5}{ x^{4} y^{2} } }$
To take the root of a fraction,, we must take the root of the numerator and denominator separately. This rule will change the expression to the following:
$\frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ x^{2} y}$
Since we cannot simplify this fraction any further,, the final answer is going to be $\frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ x^{2} y}$ .
Let me know if you have any further questions.
