Answer:
x = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract x and 36 from both sides.
Divide both sides by -1.
Square both sides.
Subtract 144x from both sides.
Factor the right side.
Since the solution of the equation involved squaring both sides, we musty check the answer for possible extraneous solutions.
Check x = 36:
Since 0 = 0 is a true statement, the solution x = 36 is a valid solution.
Answer:
100% increase from 100 is 200, the difference is 100.
100% decrease from 100 is 0, the difference is -100
error means that you were quite a long way off from the true value.
Let h = height of triangle
h^2 + 12^2 = 15^2
h^2 + 144 = 225
h^2 = 225 - 144
h^2 = 81
sqrt{h^2} = sqrt{81}
h = 9 cm
For part B, we need to find surface area because it represents the perimeter of this 3-D figure. The formula needed is SA = B + LA.
1. First find the lateral area.
LA = perimeter of triangle • height
LA = ph
p = 15 + 15 + 24
p = 30 + 24
p = 54 cm
LA = (54)(9)
LA = 486 cm^2
2. We now find the base of each triangle. This is found by finding the area of each triangle and multiplying by 2.
A = (1/2)bh
A = (1/2)(24)(9)
A = 108 cm^2
A = 2•108 cm^2
A = 216 cm^2 = our B in the surface area formula.
SA = B + LA
SA = 216 cm^2 + 486 cm^2
SA = 702 cm^2
The amount of cardboard needed is 702 cm^2.
Answer:
A. 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Width (w): 5
Height (h): 6
Area of Triangle (A) = 1/2wh
A = 1/2(5)(6)
A = 5 x 3
A = 15 units squared
