Answer: The height is 9 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area is the total of the areas of the 6 faces of the rectangular prism. Given 286 square feet.

The base given is 5ft by 7ft, so that will give the area of 2 faces;

the other pairs of faces have the unknown height as one factor

5ft by h and 7ft by h . Create an equation with those factors:

2(5×7) + 2(5h) + 2(7h) = 286 Distribute and compile

2(35) + 10h + 14h = 286 70 + 24h = 286 . Solve for h

24h = 286 - 70 . 24h = 216 . 216 ÷ 24 = 9

h = 9

So the height of the rectangular prism is 9 feet

ways of pairing up any 2 members from the pool of $2n$ contestants. Note that

$(2n)! = 1\times2\times3\times4\times\cdots\times(2n-2)\times(2n-1)\times(2n) = (2n-2)! \times(2n-1) \times(2n)$

so that

$\dbinom{2n}2 = \dfrac{(2n)\times(2n-1)\times(2n-2)!}{2! (2n-2)!} = \boxed{n(2n-1)}$

No solutions beacause you have to factor out numbers for -9 but they must equal -8 when adding them.

1. the sum of two rational numbers is always always a (irrational number / rational number)

Blizzard [7]

One

The sum of two rational numbers is always rational. sqrt(9) + sqrt(25) = 3 + 5 which is rational. sqrt(16/100) = 4/10 = 2/5 is also rational. 3/28 is rational as well.

Two

Those are irrational. sqrt(10) + pi = ???? You cannot reduce this to any kind of fraction. Two irrationals always give a rational.

Three

The irrational number controls the answer. 10 + sqrt(5) is irrational. The 10 is OK. It is raional, but sqrt(5) is not a rational number.
