What’s the given information?
B=area of the base and 12cm
H=height and 9cm
Volume= 216cm
4x -2y = 60
4x -3y = 26
(-) (+) (-)
__________
1y = 34
y = 34
To find x
4x -2y = 60
4x -(2)(34) = 60
4x -68 = 60
4x = 60 + 68
4x = 128
x = 32
Answer:
x=32 ; y=34
Answer:
x ≈ 8.66
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the sine ratio in the right triangle
sin60° =
= 
Multiply both sides by 10
10 × sin60° = x, thus
x ≈ 8.66 ( to 2 dec. places )
Since segments ST and PQ are parallel, triangles SRT and PRQ are similar due to the AAA postulate. In general, the ratio between the corresponding sides of two similar triangles is constant; therefore,

Furthermore,

Finding PR and RS,

Then,


Solving for PS,

Solve the quadratic equation in terms of PS, as shown below
![\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow PS^2+16PS-132=0 \\ \Rightarrow PS=\frac{-16\pm\sqrt[]{16^2-4(-132)}}{2}=\frac{-16\pm28}{2} \\ \Rightarrow PS=-22,6 \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20%5CRightarrow%20PS%5E2%2B16PS-132%3D0%20%5C%5C%20%5CRightarrow%20PS%3D%5Cfrac%7B-16%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B16%5E2-4%28-132%29%7D%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B-16%5Cpm28%7D%7B2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%5CRightarrow%20PS%3D-22%2C6%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
And PS is a segment; therefore, it has to be positive.
Hence, the answer is PS=6
