A Cube, has all equal sides, namely, the length, width and height
are all equal to each other

so..  notice the picture added here
you have really, 6 squares, stacked up to each other at the edges

so...what is the Area of one of those squares?
well, if the sides are equal, let's say the side is "x" long, then
the Area is x\cdot x \implies x^2

well, you have 6 of those squares, thus \bf \textit{surface area of a cube}=
\begin{cases}
(x\cdot x)+\\
(x\cdot x)+\\
(x\cdot x)+\\
(x\cdot x)+\\
(x\cdot x)+\\
(x\cdot x)\\
 --------------\\
 x^2+x^2+x^2+x^2+x^2\\
6x^2
\end{cases}
\\\\
\textit{we know the Area is }486\ cm^2\qquad thus
\\\\
\textit{surface area}=6x^2\implies 486=6x^2

solve for "x", to get one side's length

worty [1.4K]
Since the triangle is 45,45,
90 arrangement. We can use the special triangle trick. Which gives us 2,2 and square root of 2 times 2

Which ordered pair (a, b) is a solution to the given system of linear equations? -2a+3b=14
Stels [109]

Answer:

The solution of the system is the ordered pair (-13,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

-2a+3b=14 -----> equation A

a-4b=3 ----> equation B

Solve the system by elimination

Multiply by 2 both sides equation B

2(a-4b)=2(3)

2a-8b=6 ----> equation C

Adds equation A and equation C

-2a+3b=14\\2a-8b=6\\-------\\3b-8b=14+6\\-5b=20\\b=-4

<em>Find the value of a</em>

substitute the value of b in any equation (i take equation B)

a-4(-4)=3

a+16=3

a=-13

therefore

The solution of the system is the ordered pair (-13,-4)

180 degrees - 115 degrees = 65 degrees
65 degrees + 90 degrees = 155 degrees
180 degrees - 155 degrees = y
Y= 25 degrees
