Part A; The height of the base is 15 cm.

Part B; Approximately 320 cm of cardboard is used to make the candy box.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; We split the triangle into two right-angled triangles. So each triangle has an 8 cm long adjacent side and a 17 cm long hypotenuse. As we have two sides of the triangle, we can solve for the other side's length by using Pythagoras' theorem. Assume the opposite side of the triangle measures x cm. According to Pythagoras theorem, 17² = 8² + x²,

289 = 64 + x², x² = 289 - 64 = 225, x = √225 = 15 cm.

So the height of the base is 15 cm.

Step 2; To find the amount of cardboard needed, we need to determine the perimeter. There are 2 triangular faces and 3 rectangular faces.

A triangle's perimeter is the sum of all the side lengths.

The perimeter of the triangular face = 16 + 17 + 17 = 50 cm.

The perimeter for two triangular faces = 2 × 50 = 100 cm.

Step 3; A rectangle's perimeter is determined by multiplying the rectangle's length with the rectangle's width.

Of the three rectangular faces, two are similar.

The perimeter for the face along the side of the triangle = 2 × (20 + 17) =

2 × 37 = 74 cm.

The perimeter for two similar rectangular planes = 2 × 74 = 148 cm.

The perimeter for the face along the base of the triangle = 2 × (16 + 20) =

2 × 36 = 72 cm.

The perimeter of the entire shape = 100 + 148 + 72 = 320 cm.

Carlos and Maria drove a total of 233 miles in 4.4 hours. Carlos drove the first part of the trip and averaged 55 miles per hour
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
So basically
D=RT
distance=rate times time

D=233
carlos speed=55
maria speed=50
total time=4.4 hours

so therefor we have to represent
carlos time
maria time
carlos distance
maria dstance

let's say that
remember that whatever carlost drove is 233 minus maria (time and distance)
and since we are solving for maria time and distnace, solve in terms of them
maria time=t
maria distance=d
carlos time=4.4-t
carlos distance=233-d

remember total D=RT
find their seperate equations
carlos
233-d=55(4.4-t)

maria
d=50(t)
use them to solve

233-d=55(4.4-t)
subsitute 50(t) for d
233-50t=55(4.4-t)
add 50t to both sides
233=55(4.4-t)+50t
distribute using distributiver protperty (a(b+c)=ab+ac)
55(4.4-t)=242-55t
233=242-55t+50t
add like terms
233=242-5t
add 5t to both sides
233+5t=242
subtract 233 from both sides
5t=9
divdie both sides by 5
t=1.8
maria drove 1.8 hours

the answer is A

Please help! i'm confused!<br> Find the area of a kites with diagonals 9in and 12in.
kolbaska11 [484]
Notice the picture
the rhombus, or kite, is really just 4 triangles
all sides are the same lenght in a rhombus,

thus, find the area of all of the triangles,
and you already have two sides given,
and then, add them up

or just find the length of one, and multiply times 4 :)

recall, area of a triangle = 1/2 bh

How can 8 students share a pizza cut into 12 slices without cutting any of the slices?
Triss [41]
Hmmm...
We have to divide 12 by 8, since we need to see how 8 students will share 12 slices.

12/8=1 and 1/2

So, each student can have a slice and a half, but since we aren't allowed to cut the slices...

We can let each student have one slice, with 4 left over, so...

Every student can have one slice, and then half can have a second slice :)!

I'm not sure if that is what was meant by the question, but that was all I could think of.

I hope I helped! :)
