Answer:

A parallelogram is a four-sided figure that has opposite sides that are parallel and are equal in length. A triangle is not a parallelogram because it does not have four sides, nor parallel sides. Since the cross-section of a triangular prism is a triangle (which cannot be a parallelogram), a parallelogram can never be the cross-section of a triangular prism.

Answer:

The pieces are 55 inches, 55 inches and 46 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

A 13ft board is to be cut into three pieces consisting of two equal length ones. The third one is 9in shorter than each of the other two.

Let us first convert the length of the board to inches:

1 ft = 12 inches

13 ft = 12 * 13 = 156 inches

Let the length of each of the other two pieces be x.

Therefore, the length of the third piece is (x - 9)

Therefore, the sum of the lengths of the three pieces is equal to 156 inches. This means that:

x + x + (x - 9) = 156

x + x + x - 9 = 156

=> 3x = 156 + 9

3x = 165

x = 165 / 3 = 55 inches

Each of the first two pieces are 55 inches long.

The length of the third piece will be:

55 - 9 = 46 inches

The pieces are 55 inches, 55 inches and 46 inches long.

Katen [24]

Answer:

29 feet in length, 5 feet in width and 12 feet in height

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that for the volume of a quadrangular prism is:

V = l * w * h

Ie length times width times height

In this case, the height is determined by the squares that you put in each corner, taking into account that a square has all the same sides, the height is 12 inches. h = 12

they tell us that the length is 24 inches more than the width, that is, l = 24 + w

replacing we have:

1740 = (24 + w) * w * 12

1740 = 12 * w ^ 2 + 288 * w

12 * w ^ 2 + 288 * w - 1740 = 0

if we calculate the root, we have w = 5 or w = -29

only works when w = 5

Thus:

l = 24 + 5

l = 29

which means that the dimensions are:

29 feet in length, 5 feet in width and 12 feet in height

Given r(x) = startfraction 11 over (x minus 4) squared endfraction , which represents a domain restriction on r(x) and the corre

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The domain and inverse of the function

$r(x) = \frac{11}{(x - 4)^2}$ is

Domain = $\mathbb{R} - \{4\}$ ,

$r^{-1}(x) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{x}} + 4$

What is a function?

A function from A to B is a rule that assigns to each element of A a unique element of B. A is called the domain of the function and B is called the codomain of the function.

There are different operations on functions like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and composition of functions.

The given function is

$r(x) = \frac{11}{(x - 4)^2}$

r(x) is not defined if x - 4 = 0

r(x) is not defined for x = 4

Domain = $\mathbb{R} - \{4\}$ ,

Where $\mathbb{R}$ is the set of all real number

Let r(x) = y

$\frac{11}{(x-4)^2} = y\\(x - 4)^2 = \frac{11}{y}\\x - 4 = \pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{y}}\\x = \pm\sqrt{\frac{11}{y}} +4$

<em /> $r^{-1}(x) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{x}} + 4$

Given the equation y − 4 = three fourths(x + 8) in point-slope form, identify the equation of the same line in standard form

Ahat [919]

Answer:

-3x + 4y = 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert the equation to standard form:

y - 4 = 3/4(x + 8)

y - 4 = 3/4 x + 6

y = 3/4x + 10

Multiply through be 4:

4y = 3x + 40

-3x + 4y = 40 (answer).
