Answer:

state A = 32 votes, state B = 53 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of electoral votes for state A be a and state B be b

a  = b - 21

a + b = 85

Substituting a for b - 21 in the second equation

2b - 21 = 85

2b = 106

b = 53

Plugging b back in

85 - 53 = 32

Answer:

  25 = c

Step-by-step explanation:

You had a good start on filling in the values in the Pythagorean Theorem. The work needed to be finished.

  a^2 +b^2 = c^2\\\\20^2 +15^2=c^2\\\\400+225=c^2\\\\625=c^2\\\\\sqrt{625}=\sqrt{c^2}\\\\\boxed{25=c}

The length of the rectangular prism shown below is three times the width. The height and the width are the same. If the volume o
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: the length of the prism is 9cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as

Volume = length × height × width

Volume = LWH

The length of the rectangular prism is three times the width.. It means that

L = 3W

The height and the width are the same. This means that

H = W

Therefore,

Volume = 3W × × W × W = 3W³

If the volume of the prism is 81 cubic centimeters, it means that

81 = 3W³

Dividing through by 3, it becomes

81/3 = 3W³/3

W³ = 27

Taking cube root of both sides, it becomes

W = 3

Therefore, the the length of the prism would be

L = 3W = 3 × 3

L = 9 cm
