Answer:

  A: 15 cm

  B: 1120 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A</u>: The triangle is isosceles, so its altitude bisects the base, giving two right triangles with hypotenuse 17 and leg 8. Then the other leg can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:

  h² +8² = 17²

  h = √(289 -65) = 15

The height of the base is 15 cm.

__

<u>Part B</u>: The total surface area of the prism is the sum of the lateral area and the areas of the triangular bases.

  Base area = (1/2)(b)(h) = (1/2)(8 cm)(15 cm) = 60 cm²

The lateral area is the product of the perimeter of the base and the length of the prism:

  LA = PL = (17 cm +17 cm +16 cm)(20 cm) = 1000 cm²

So, the total surface area of the box is ...

  2(base area) + lateral area = 2(60 cm²) +1000 cm² = 1120 cm²

The box uses about 1120 cm² of cardboard.

-1 + 14x = 12x + 17 Whats the answer ? what is x
Finger [1]

Answer:

x= 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the terms -> -1=14x = -12x + 16

Find out the sum -> 2x=17+1

Divide both by the equation by two -> 2x=18 x=9

Final answer: x=9

3. Problem 2: Suppose a radio manufacturer has the total cost function C (x) = 43x + $ 1850 and the revenue function R (x) = $ 8
OLEGan [10]

Given that,

Total cost function, C (x) = 43x + $1850

The revenue function R (x) = $80x

To find,

The number of units that must be produced and sold to break even.

Solution,

At break even, cost = revenue

43x + $1850 = $80x

Subtract 80x from both sides.

43x + 1850 -80x = $80x -80x

1850 = 80x-43x

37x = 1850

x = 50

So, the required number of units are 50.

4m/5-2m/3=1 solve the equation
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

m = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4m/5   - 2m/3  =1

We want to get rid of the fractions so multiply each side by 5*3 or 15

15 *(4m/5   - 2m/3 ) =1*15

15 *(4m/5)   -15( 2m/3 ) =1*15

Canceling like factors

3* 4m -5*2m = 15

Multiply

12m - 10m = 15

2m = 15

Divide each side by 2

2m/2 = 15/2

m = 7.5

Jada has 7/8 cup of cheese. Her cheese bread recipe calls for 1/6 of chees. How many times can she make her recipe with the chee
Grace [21]
5 times because with common denominaters(remeber:what you do the top you always do to the bottom or what you do the bottom you do to the top)7/8=21/24 1/6=4/24.21 divided by 4 equals 5.5 but you want a whole loaf of cheese bread not a half so you would round it to 5.
