Answer:

A. x = 7

B. x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 5/x = 30/42

5/x = 5/7

5 = 5/7 x

5= 5x/7

5 x 7 = 5x

35 = 5x

35/5 = x

7 = x

x = 7

B. x/8 = -12/32

x/8 = -3/8

x = - 3/8 x 8

x = - 24/8

x = -3

In order to determine the slant height of several pyramids, Marjorie used the surface area formula, s= 1/2 pl+b for the slant he

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

$l=\dfrac{2(S-b)}{P}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area formula for pyramids is given by :

$S=\dfrac{1}{2}Pl+b$ ...(1)

We need to arrange the formula for l.

Take b to LHS,

$S-b=\dfrac{1}{2}Pl\\\\2(S-b)=Pl\ [\text{cross-multiplying}]\\\\l=\dfrac{2(S-b)}{P}$

So, the expression is $\dfrac{2(S-b)}{P}$ for the slant height.
