For this case, what you must keep in mind is that the volume of a triangular prism is the product of the area of the base by height.
 We observed that:
 V = (15) * (20) = 300
 The numeric value is correct.
 However, the units are not because the volume is expressed in:
 units ^ 3
 Answer:
 "a triangular prism has a height of 15 inches and a base area of 20 square inches. The volume of the prism is 300 CUBIC inches. "

A woman wishes to rent a house within 9 miles of her work. If she lives x miles from her work, her transportation cost will be c
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

the woman has to live 1 mile from work to minimize the expenses

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

the distance within 9 miles ⇒ 0 < x > 9

Total costs Q = cx + 4c/( x + 1)

costs should be minimum  ⇒ dQ/dx = 0

⇒ d/dx [ cx + 4c/( x + 1) ] = 0

⇒ ( x + 1)² = 4

take square root of both side

√[ ( x + 1)² ] = √4

x + 1 = 2

x = 2 - 1

x = 1

Therefore, the woman has to live 1 mile from work to minimize the expenses

I need help algebra ​
asambeis [7]

Answer:

A. the slope value is 1/4

B. 0

C. y = 1/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

A: the slope can be calculated with the formula

m =  \frac{rise}{run}  = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

m is the slope

(x1, y1) is your first coordinate point (any point will work)

(x2, y2) is your second coordinate point (any point will work)

Plug in your values, in this case I chose (0,0) and (4,1) as the two coordinates:

m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}  =  \frac{1 - 0}{4 - 0}  =  \frac{1}{4}

B: the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of where the graph touches the y-axis and in this case the coordinate is (0,0) where the y coordinate is 0.

C:

the equation of the graph is y = mx + b.

m is the slope = 1/4

b is the y-intercept = 0

Therefore the equation is y = 1/4x

Santo paid $16.25 to buy 5 children tickets and 1 adult ticket. Hulda paid $24.00 to buy 4 children tickets and 3 adult tickets.
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The price of an adult ticket it $5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we would find the system of equations. We would set up two equations that will represent the situation.

Let c = price per children ticket

Let a = price per adult ticket

Santo:

5c + 1a = 16.25

Hulda:

4c + 3a = 24

5c + 1a = 16.25 -> a = 16.25 - 5c

4c + 3a = 24

4c + 3(16.25 - 5c) = 24

4c + 48.75 - 15c = 24

-11c + 48.75 = 24

       -48.75   -48.75

-11c = -24.75

/-11       /-11

c = 2.25

5c + a = 16.25

5(2.25) + a = 16.25

11.25 + a = 16.25

-11.25        -11.25

a = 5

a = $5 , c = $2.25
