A right prism has a base that is an equilateral triangle. The height of the prism is equal to the height of the base. If the vol

ume of the prism is 81, what are the lengths of the sides of the base?

<u>Answer:</u>

Lengths of the sides (there are 3 sides in an equilateral triangle) of the base of prism is <u>5.72cm </u>each.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

As the base of triangular prism is equilateral:

∴ Area of base = (√ 3 / 4)× (side)²

According to question:

height of prism = height (side) of base

Volume of prism = 81 cm³,

∴ Volume of prism = Area of base x height

⇒  81 cm³ = (√ 3 / 4)× (side)² × height       ∵ side = height

⇒   81 cm³ = (√ 3 / 4)× (side)³

⇒  81 × (4/√3) cm³ = side³    

⇒  ∛(81 × (4/√3) cm = side

⇒  side = <u>5.72cm</u>

Complete the paragraph proof. We are given that ∠B ≅ ∠C. Assume segment AB is not congruent to . If AB &gt; AC, then m∠C &gt; m∠
Lorico [155]

Given that ∠B ≅ ∠C.

to prove that the sides AB = AC

This can be done by the method of contradiction.  

If possible let AB \neq=AC

Then either AB>AC or AB<AC

Case i:  If AB>AC, then by triangle axiom, Angle C > angle B.

But since angle C = angle B, we get AB cannot be greater than AC

Case ii:  If AB<AC, then by triangle axiom, Angle C < angle B.

But since angle C = angle B, we get AB cannot be less than AC

Conclusion:

Since AB cannot be greater than AC nor less than AC, we have only one possibility. that is AB =AC

Hence if angle B = angle C it follows that

AB = AC, and AB ≅ AC.

What is the value of x?<br><br> 27(x+4)=−6<br><br><br> −35<br><br> −25<br><br> 25<br><br> 35
Oksanka [162]

x = -38/9 !!!


27(x+4)=−6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

27(x+4)=−6

(27)(x)+(27)(4)=−6 (Distribute)

27x+108=−6

Step 2: Subtract 108 from both sides.

27x+108−108=−6−108

27x=−114

Step 3: Divide both sides by 27.

27x/27=−114/27

x=−389

Mr. Loza had to stop at 7-Eleven for gas on his way to school. He bought four gallons of gasoline for $16.80. How much is the pr
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Every gallon costs $4.20

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide the money he spent and the gallons he needed, you come up with a total price of $4.20 a gallon. For the amounts of gallons he could get with $40 bucks, he would have 9.5 gallons, as you just need to divide 40 by 4.2. I hope this helps :)
