Answer:

D. 30.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A, B, C, D, and E are collinear,

AE = 38,

BD = 15, since segment BC = CD = DE, therefore

BD = ⅔ of BE

15 = ⅔*BE (substitution)

Solve for BE

Multiply each side by 3

15*3 = ⅔*BE*3

45 = 2*BE

Divide both sides by 2

45/2 = BE

22.5 = BE

BE = 22.5

Find AB:

AB + BE = AE (segment addition postulate)

AB + 22.5 = 38 (Substitution)

AB = 38 - 22.5 (Subtracting 22.5 from each side)

AB = 15.5

Find length of segment AD:

AB + BD = AD (segment addition postulate)

15.5 + 15 = AD (Substitution)

30.5 = AD

AD = 30.5

We have the following:

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ a=5 \\ b=0 \\ c=-80 \end{gathered}$

replacing:

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-0\pm\sqrt[]{0^2-4\cdot5\cdot-80}}{2\cdot5}=\frac{\pm\sqrt[]{1600}}{10}=\frac{\pm40}{10}=\pm4 \\ x_1=4 \\ x_2=-4 \end{gathered}$

Volume of triangular prism base 18in, height 9in, length 24in

padilas [110]

Answer:

1944 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Dimensions of a triangular prism;

Base is 18 inches
Length is 9 inches, and
Length is 24 inches

We are required to determine the volume of the prism

To answer the question we need to know that the volume of a triangular prism is given by;

Volume = 0.5 × Width × height × Length

Therefore;

Volume = 0.5 × 18 in × 9 in × 24 in

= 1944 in³

Thus, the volume of the triangular prism is 1944 in³
