How can a triangular prism have a greater volume than a rectangular prism?

Mathematics
1 answer:
son4ous [18]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the two prisms have bases of equal area.

Then the volume of the rectangular prism is V = (base area)(height).

The volume of the triangular prism is V = (1/3)(base area)(height)

We could compare the two volumes by creating the ratio inequality

  (1/3) (base area)(t-height)

------------------------------------------

      (base area)(r-height)

The triangular prism will have the greater volume for (1/3)((t-height) > r-height.

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter B. 5y³ - 18y² + 29y - 12  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

           (y² - 3y + 4)(5y - 3)

Process

1.- Multiply the first terms by 5y

           (y² - 3y + 4)(5y) = 5y³ - 15y² + 20y

2.- Multiply the first terms by -3

            (y² - 3y + 4)(- 3) = -3y² + 9y - 12

3.- Simplify like terms

            5y³ - 15y² + 20y  -3y² + 9y - 12 = 5y³ + (-15y² - 3y²) + (20y + 9y) -12

4.- Result

                                                                = 5y³ - 18y² + 29y - 12

I need help! I forgot how to do this!! Please help!
Dovator [93]

First change the mixed fraction into an improper fraction

7 1/2 = 15/2

Next, change multiply 2 to both numerator and denominator

15 x 2 = 30

2 x 2 = 4

30/4

Each piece needs 3/4 of an inch. Divide 30 with 3

30/3 = 10

c) 10 pieces is your answer

hope this helps
