Nitella [24]

Answer:

Cross sections perpendicular to the base and through the vertex will be triangles. Below, you can see a plane cutting through the pyramid, part of the pyramid removed, and the cross section. You could also take a slice parallel to the base. Cross sections parallel to the base will be hexagons.

Is 15b+4=25.6 equivalent to 0.6+15b+4=25.6

pychu [463]

No because
15b + 4 = 25.6
15b = 21.6
b = 1.44

0.6+15b+4 = 25.6
4.6 + 15b = 25.6
15b = 21
b = 1.4

The answers are not the same therefore they are not equivalent.

the length of a rectangle is 7 inches more than its width, if the perimiter of the rectangle is 66 inches, find its dimensions.

Maurinko [17]

Perimeter of rectangle=66
length of rectangle=L
width of rectangle=w
P of a rect.= 2(length)+ 2(width)
66= 2L+2w

if the length is 7in more than the width, then
L=7+w

Now we will substitute 7+w in for L. Here is our new equation:

66=2(7+w) + 2w

Solve for w

66=14+2w+2w
66=14+4w
52=4w
w=13
L=7+13, so L=20

I hooe this is explained well enough

A regression was run to determine if there is a relationship between hours of TV watched per day (x) and number of situps a pers

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

A person who watches 8.5 hours of TV can do 30.4 sit ups.

Step-by-step explanation:

The regression equation is used to predict or estimate the value of the response (or dependent) variables using the information about the explanatory (or predictor) variables.

The general form of a regression equation is:

$y=ax+b$

Here,

y = dependent variable

x = independent variable

a = intercept

b = slope

The regression equation representing the relationship between hours of TV watched per day (x) and number of sit ups a person can do (y) is:

$y=-0.74x+36.359$

Compute the number of sit ups a person who watches 8.5 hours of TV can do as follows:

$y=-0.74x+36.359$

$=(-0.74\times 8.5)+36.359\\=-6.29+36.659\\=30.369\\\approx 30.4$

Thus, a person who watches 8.5 hours of TV can do 30.4 sit ups.
