Answer:

let's try the "Divide and Conquer" method, that is we break down the problem into pieces and solve each piece until we arrive at the answer.

the formula for the surface area of the cube is:

SA = 6s^2; s is the length of one side of the cube

for the 3-inch cube

SA = 6(3^2)

SA = 6(9)

SA = 54 in^2

note however, that the actual surface area is less the area occupied by the 2-inch cube place on the 3-inch cube, which is

A = s^2; since this is a square

A = 2^2

A = 4 in^2

the actual SA (aSA) therefore of the 3-inch cube is

aSA = 54 - 4 = 50 in^2

for the 2-inch cube

SA = 6s^2

SA = 6(2^2)

SA = 6(4)

SA = 24 in^2

to solve for the actual SA of the 2-inch cube, we subtract the area which is in contact with the 3-inch cube and the 1-inch cube

aSA = 24 - 2^2 - 1^2

aSA = 24 - 4 - 1

aSA = 19 in^2

for the 1-inch cube

SA = 6s^2

SA = 6(1^2)

SA = 6 in^2

the actual surface area is less the area in contact with the 2-inch cube

aSA = 6 - 1^2

aSA = 5 in^2

the surface area of the three cube tower will just be the sum of the aSA of the three cubes

SA = 50 + 19 + 5

SA = 74 in^2   ans

147.1 is what percent of 155
Harrizon [31]
Solution for what is 147.1% of 155

155/x=100/147.1
(155/x)*x=(100/147.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
155=0.67980965329708*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.67980965329708) to get x
155/0.67980965329708=x 
228.005=x 
x=228.005

now we have: 
147.1% of 155=228.005

What is the equation of the line shown in the graph? (-3,1) (2,-4)
ki77a [65]

Answer:

x + y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The two primary equations to remember when dealing with graphing 2-variable equations are: ax + by = c (a & b are the x & y coefficients, respectively), and the other is y = mx + c (m = slope, x & y represent themselves). There is another equation to find the slope. If not already known, it's: ∆y/∆x {∆(aka Delta) = difference}. So, since that's all been established, we can proceed to calculate your question:

1) Find your slope: 1 - (-4) = 5 for your y-variable. And -3 - 2 = -5 for your x-variable. So your slope = 5/-5 = -1

2) Use the y = mx + c equation together with either set of (x,y) coordinates to get the equation 1 = (-1)(-3) + c. Which gives you c = -2

3) So, going back to the main equation to remember, the ax + by = c, use a one of your given sets of x,y coordinates and input your known values for x, y, & c to get: a(-3) + b(1) = (-2) and do the same with other set (these are just double-checks, coefficients are all equal to 1 anyways). So, you should arrive to the equation: x + y = -2

What is the rule for the reflection ?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

This idea of reflection correlating with a mirror image is similar in math.

This complete guide to reflecting over the x axis and reflecting over the y axis will provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to perform these translations.

 First, let’s start with a reflection geometry definition

Math Definition: Reflection Over the X Axis

A reflection of a point, a line, or a figure in the X axis involved reflecting the image over the x axis to create a mirror image. In this case, the x axis would be called the axis of reflection.

Math Definition: Reflection Over the Y Axis

A reflection of a point, a line, or a figure in the Y axis involved reflecting the image over the Y axis to create a mirror image. In this case, theY axis would be called the axis of reflection.

What is the rule for a reflection across the X axis?

The rule for reflecting over the X axis is to negate the value of the y-coordinate of each point, but leave the x-value the same.
