We know that
[volume of the similar prism]=10*5*5----> 250 in³
volume original prism=16 cm³
 1 in³---------> 16.3871 cm³
X----------> 16
x=16/16.3871------> x=0.9764 in³

[volume of the similar prism]=[scale factor]³*[volume original prism]
[scale factor]³=[volume of the similar prism]/[volume original prism]
[scale factor]³=[250]/[0.9764]------> 256.05
scale factor=∛256.05-------> 6.35

<span>the dimensions of the original prism are
1 in-----> 2.54 cm

</span>length 10 in/6.35-------> 1.57 in*2.54 cm/in-----> 4 cm
<span>width 5 in/6.35---------> 0.79 in*2.54 cm/in-----> 2 cm
</span><span>height 5 in/6.35--------> 0.79 in*2.54 cm/in----> 2 cm</span>

Notice the tickmark on the angles, those angles are equal to each other.

now, notice the angle at the very top, the large triangle is really sharing it with smaller-inscribed triangle, and therefore is equal on both triangles.

therefore, the larger triangle, is similar with smaller-inscribed triangle by AA.

what the dickens does that mean?

\bf \cfrac{large}{small}\qquad \cfrac{4+5}{4}=\cfrac{5+x}{5}\implies \cfrac{9}{4}=\cfrac{5+x}{5}\implies 45=20+4x&#10;\\\\\\&#10;25=4x\implies \cfrac{25}{4}=x\implies 6\frac{1}{4}=x

Find the sum of the first 18 terms of the arithmetic sequence whose nth term is an = 3n - 1.
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

495

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the sum of the first 18 terms you have to find the 18th term and the first term using the equation given.

a1=3(1)-1        a1=2

a18=3(18)-1   a18= 53

Then plug in 53 for an, 18 for n, and 2 in for a1 in the sum equation: Sn=n/2(a1+an)  

Sn=18/2(2+53)  Solve for sn= 495

The number of different possible poker hands is found by counting the number of ways that 5 cards can be selected from 52 cards, where the order is not important. It is a combination, so we use c n r

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible number of the poker hands is probably . C 52 5= 52!/5!x47!= 2598960

50 Points! find x and explain how you found it!
stepan [7]

To find the length of the side opposite the angle while knowing the hypotenuse we can use the sine function:

   sin(53) = (side opposite angle of 53 degrees) / hypotenuse

    sin(53) = x / 24

     x = 24 sin(53)

    x = 19.16

Hope that helped

Another easy question need fast please
Tresset [83]

Answer:

30.25

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles of a line must add up to 180. Since we already know that one angle is 90 degrees, we know that the other angles should add up to 90 degrees in order for all of the angles to add up to 180 degrees:

(3x-7)+(x+8)=90

4x+1=90

4x=89

x=22.25

22.25+8= 30.25
