Alright let's start by noting that due to it having a square bottom and top the Length is equal to the Width. They gave us the surface area, but what we need is the length/width of the square top/bottom. So let's take the surface area and make it equal to the equation for the surface area of a rectangular prism (our shape):
192cm^2 = 2(lw + lh + hw)
Let's replace all the "l's" with w's (we can do this due to the fact that the length (l) equals the width (w) (l = w))
192cm^2 = 2(w*w + wh + hw)
192cm^2 = 2(w^2 + 2wh)
We know what the height (h) is as it is given in the problem (5cm).
192cm^2 = 2(w^2 + 2*5w)
192cm^2 = 2(w^2 + 10w)
Divide 2 on both sides.
96cm^2 = w^2 + 10w
Subtract 96 on both sides.
0 = w^2 + 10w - 96
Factor it out.
0 = (w - __)(w + ___)
0 = (w - 6)(w+16)
We have two possible answers of:
w = 6
w = -16
The only answer which makes sense is the positive one, because a box in real life can't have negative length.
So,
w = 6 cm.
According the Vertical Angles Theorem, the angles are congruent.
Set up your equation : 4x + 7 = 5(x - 4)
Distribute in the second equation : 4x + 7 = 5x - 20
Subtract 4x from both sides : 7 = x - 20
Add 20 to both sides : 27 = x
x = 27
Answer:
Barry gets 300 first
Cheri gets 30 first
Barry gets 100 first
Representations:
Barry's profit = 5c + 20
Cheri's profit = 2c + 40
Step-by-step explanation:
well Barry's pprofit is
B = 5c + 20
and Cheri's profit is
C = 2c + 40
let's see who will get 300 first:
300 = 5c + 20
280 = 5c
56 = c
300 = 2c + 40
260 = 2c
130 = c
SO for 300 it is Barry who gets it first... same steps for others
Answer:
Area = 3.897
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
What you are subtly being told is the side of an equalateral triangle = P/n.
n = the number of sides
n = 3
P = 9
side = 9/3 = 3
The area of an equalateral triangle given 1 side is
Area = sqr(3) * s^2 /4
Area = 3.897
