Answer:

Large Box = 18.5

Small Box = 15.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = large box and y = small box

5x+6y=187

3x+2y=87

cancel out one equation

(5x+6y=187)•3=15x+18y=561

(3x+2y=87)•-5=15x+10y=435

 15x+18y=561

-15x-10y=-435

–––––––––––

 0+ 8y= 126

  8y÷8 =126÷8

y=15.75

Substitute y into either original equation

3x+2(15.75)=87

3x+ 31.5=87

3x+ 31.5-31.5=87-31.5

3x=55.5

3x÷3=55.5÷3

x=18.5

What two-dimensional figure will result from slicing this rectangular pyramid parallel to the base?
andreev551 [17]

Answer: The answer is D. Trapezoid.    


Step-by-step explanation:  As shown in the attached figure, a rectangular pyramid  ABCDE is drawn. We are slicing this rectangular pyramid parallel to the base BCDE at the points F, G, H and I.

We can clearly see from the figure that upper half of the sliced figure will be similar to the pyramid BCDE and the lower sliced figure will be a trapezoid. These are the three-dimensional figures.

Also, the sliced two-dimensional figure FGHI will be a rectangle, because

the pyramid is a rectangular one and so,  FI=GH, FG=HI and all the angles are right angles.

Thus, the resulting two-dimensional figure will be a rectagle.

Answer:

Possible dimensions are 16 × 4 inches and 32 × 2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Area of the frame = 64 inch² = Length × Width

Now, we have that 64 can be factored as,

64 = 32 × 2

64 = 16 × 4

64 = 8 × 8

Since, the frame is in a rectangular shape. So, we reject the possibility of 8 × 8 inches frame.

Thus, the possible dimensions are,

Set 1: 16 × 4 inches

Set 2: 32 × 2 inches.
