You use the Pythagorean theorem .

Formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

<u>Solve for x:</u>

Take out exponent.

12^2 + x^2 = 20^2

Subtract 144 on both sides to get the variable alone.

144 + x = 400

-144         -144

You get the solution as 256. But you know it's bigger than the numbers given. So find the square root of 256.

x = 256

Which leaves you with:

x = 16

<u>Check:</u>

12^2 + 16^2 = 20^2

144 + 256 = 400

400 = 400

<u>Key:</u>

a = First shortest side (shorter side with the number smaller than side b and c)

b = Second shortest side (the number that is between side a's and c's number)

c = Third shortest side (longer side with the number larger than side a and b)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two triangles are similar, you can use proportions to solve for the value of x

\frac{x}{12}  = \frac{4}{3}

Now, just multiply 4 and 12.

4 * 12 = 48

Then divide that by 3.

48 / 3 = 16

Therefore, x = 16.

3 times a number is 54 less than the square of that number. Find the positive solution.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the positive solution for this, then we will say;

Let the number be x

3x<x^2-54

x^2-3x-54<0

Then we are going to factorise

x^2-9x+6x-54=0

(x^2-9x)+(6x-54)=0

x(x-9)+6(x-9)=0

(x+6)(x-9)=0

Therefore, The positive solution for this is: x=9

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

He will use the D box because it has a volume of

27 {ft}^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

a)v = whl \\  = 1 \times 5 \times 3 \\  = 15 {ft}^{3}

b) \: v = whl \\  = 3 \times 4 \times 2 \\  = 24 {ft}^{3}

c) \: v =  \: whl\\ =  2 \times 7 \times 1 \\  = 14 {ft}^{3}

d) \: v = whl \\  = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \\  = 27 {ft}^{3}

The surface area of the triangular prism is of 140 cm².

<h3>What is the surface area of a prism?</h3>

It is the sum of the areas of all faces of a prism. In this problem, the prism has these following faces:

  • One rectangle of dimensions 8 cm and 6 + 4 + 5 = 15 cm.
  • Two right triangles with sides 4 cm and 5 cm.

For a rectangle, the area is given by the multiplication of the dimensions, hence:

Ar = 8 x 15 = 120 cm²

For each right triangle, the area is given by half the multiplication of the sides, hence:

At = 2 x 0.5 x 4 x 5 = 20 cm².

Then the surface area of the prism is:

S = 120 cm² + 20 cm² = 140 cm².
