Answer:

16.66pound

A total of 50 juniors and seniors were given a mathematics test. The 35 juniors attained an average score of 80 while the 15 sen
Alik [6]

Answer:

77

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the total score of the junior students and the total score of the senior students.

The total score of the junior students is 35 * 80 = 2,800

The total score of the senior students is 15 * 70 = 1050

The total score is thus 2,800 + 1,050 = 3,850

The average score of the 50 students is thus 3,850/50 which equals 77

What value should be added to the expression to create a perfect square? x^2 - 20x
boyakko [2]
To complete the square:
we take the coefficient ox "x" (which in this problem is -20)
we divide it by 2
square that number
then add it to both sides of the equation

-20 / 2 = -10
-10^2 = 100
then we add 100 to both sides of the equation:
x^2 -20x
x^2 -20x +100 = 100
******************************************************
To get the roots of the equation, we take the square root of both sides:
(x -10) * (x-10) = 10
(x-10) = square root (10)
x-10 = <span> <span> <span> 3.1622776602 </span> </span> </span>

The volume of a rectangular prism with a square base is 180 in3. Its height is 5 in. Find the length of the edge of the square b
amid [387]

Answer:

l = 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

The volume of a rectangular prism with a square base is 180\ in^3.

Height of the prism is  5 in

It is required to find the length of the edge of the square base. Let it is l.

The formula of the volume of the rectangular prism is given by :

V=l\times b\times h

A is area of base of prism

It has a square base, l =b

V=l^2\times h\\\\l=\sqrt{\dfrac{V}{h}} \\\\l=\sqrt{\dfrac{180}{5}} \\\\l=6\ in

So, the length of the  edge of the square base is 6 inches.
