A suitable calculator finds the determinant to be ...
... B. -203
_____
This can be calculated by hand by copying the first two columns to the right of the given matrix, then forming the sum of products of the downward diagonals and subtracting the sum of products of the upward diagonals.
... (-4)(3)(-5) +(-4)(-5)(-5) +(-3)(3)(2) -(-5)(3)(-3) -(2)(-5)(-4) -(-5)(3)(-4)
... = 60 -100 -18 -45 -40 -60
... = -203

Answer:
The area of one trapezoidal face of the figure is 2 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>
The point of a square pyramid is cut off, making each lateral face of the pyramid a trapezoid with the dimensions shown. What is the area of one trapezoidal face of the figure?
we know that
The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula

where
b_1 and b-2 are the parallel sides
h is the height of the trapezoid (perpendicular distance between the parallel sides)
we have

substitute the given values in the formula


Answer:
-1/7
Step-by-step explanation:
-3/2(x-2)=45/14
x-2=(45/14)/(-3/2)
x-2=(45/14)(-2/3)
x-2=-90/42
simplify -90/42 into -15/7
x-2=-15/7
x=-15/7+2
x=-15/7+14/7
x=-1/7
