<span>When a = 3 and b ≠ 5, the system will be inconsistent because the lines will be parallel. When a = 3 and b = 5, the system will be consistent and dependent because they represent the same line.</span>
The answer is -2,2 for this problem
To figure out this problem, you need to find the surface area of a triangular prism.
a=5ft
b=5ft
c=6ft
h=8ft
A= (a*h) + (b*h) + (c*h) + 1/2√-a⁴ + 2(a*b)² + 2(a*c) - b⁴ + 2(b*c) - c⁴
=152 square feet
The mixed number to 18/8 is 2 and 1/4
To find this out you multiply 8 to get to 18, yet 8 only goes to 16 before going over 18, so 8 can multiply 2 times.
The 2 will be your whole number
and since there is 2 numbers left (18-16=2) that would be the numbers left over giving you 2 2/8.
yet the 2/8 can be simplified to 1/4 giving you 2 1/4 as your answer.
