Answer:

The lengths of the sides of the square base are  2\sqrt{2}\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

A triangular prism has an isosceles right triangular base with a hypotenuse of square root of 32 and a prism height of 12. a square prism has a height of 12 and its volume is equal to that of the <em><u>triangular</u></em> prism. what are the dimensions of the square base, in simplest radical form?

we know that

The volume of a prism is given by the formula

V=Bh

where

B is the area of the base

h is the height of the prism

so

If the volumes of the solids are the same and their  heights are the same, then the area of the base of the triangular prism must be equal to the area of the base of the square prism

step 1

Find the area of the base of the triangular prism

Remember that in a right isosceles triangle, the two legs are equal

Let

x ---> the length side of each leg

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

(\sqrt{32})^2 =2x^2

x^2=32/2\\x^2=16\\x=4\ units

The area of the triangular base is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}(4)(4)=8\ units^2

step 2

Find the dimensions of base of the square prism

Let

b ---> the length side of the square base

The area of a square is given by the formula

A=b^2

we have

A=8\ unit^2 ----> is the same that the area of triangle

substitute

8=b^2

b=2\sqrt{2}\ units

therefore

The lengths of the sides of the square base are  2\sqrt{2}\ units

Help!! Picture below
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Option A. (a/2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If triangle ABC is a right isosceles triangle

then

AB=AC

m<ABC=m<ACB=45°

therefore

The coordinate of point C is (a,0)

the x-coordinate of the midpoint M is equal to

(0+a)/2=a/2

The coordinates of point M are (a/2,0)

An electric can opener is worth 36 dollars when it is new. After each year, it is worth half what it was the previous year. What
Likurg_2 [28]
So the equation is f(x)=36*(.5)^8, since your principal worth is 36 and it depreciates by 1/2 each year, which is 14 cents.

The vertices of xyz are x (1,-4)
dexar [7]

Answer:

5. The vertices of ΔX'Y'Z' are (-3, -7), (-6, -4), (-1, -2)

6. The vertices of ΔX'Y'Z' are (6, -7), (3, -4), (8, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the point (x, y) translated by T → (h, k), then its image is (x + h, y + k)

#5

In ΔXYZ

∵ X = (1, -4), Y = (-2, -1), Z = (3, 1)

∵ T → (-4, -3)

∴ h = -4 and k = -3

→ Use the rule above to find the image of the vertices of the Δ

∵ X' = (1 + -4, -4 + -3)

∴ X' = (-3, -7)

∵ Y' = (-2 + -4, -1 + -3)

∴ Y' = (-6, -4)

∵ Z' = (3 + -4, 1 + -3)

∴ Z' = (-1, -2)

∴ The vertices of ΔX'Y'Z' are (-3, -7), (-6, -4), (-1, -2)

#6

In ΔXYZ

∵ X = (1, -4), Y = (-2, -1), Z = (3, 1)

∵ T → (5, -3)

∴ h = 5 and k = -3

→ Use the rule above to find the image of the vertices of the Δ

∵ X' = (1 + 5, -4 + -3)

∴ X' = (6, -7)

∵ Y' = (-2 + 5, -1 + -3)

∴ Y' = (3, -4)

∵ Z' = (3 + 5, 1 + -3)

∴ Z' = (8, -2)

∴ The vertices of ΔX'Y'Z' are (6, -7), (3, -4), (8, -2)
