The answer is 4. Obviously, 5 would work if you just slice across the prism, and there's no way you can have a prism with a 2-sided base.It must be then less than 5, either 3 or 4. 5 sides is not also possible upon drawing. I can get a rectangular prism to have a 5-sided cross section if you cut near one corner of the base and then exit along the opposite edge.

X^2 - y^2 = 100
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by rewriting the second equation in terms of "x":

x+y=5

Subtract y from both sides:

x=5-y

Now, substitute "5-y" for "x" in the first equation:

(5-y)^2-y^2=100

Note that:

(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2

25-10y+y^2-y^2=100

Cancel out like terms:

25-10y=100

Subtract 25 from both sides:

-10y=75

Divide both sides by -10

y=\frac{75}{-10}=\frac{15}{-2}=-\frac{15}{2}

Now, substitute this value back into either of the equations to solve for x.

x+y=5\\x-\frac{15}{2}=5\\

Add 15/2 to both sides:

x=5+\frac{15}{2}\\x=\frac{10}{2}+\frac{15}{2}\\x=\frac{25}{2}

Now, find the difference:

x-y=\frac{25}{2}-(-\frac{15}{2})=\frac{25}{2}+\frac{15}{2}=\frac{40}{2}=20

A machine shop produces metal frames on two different machines. The average daily production on machine 1 is 300 frames, and the
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The daily shop productivity is 480 frames

Step-by-step explanation:

The daily machine productivity refers to the TOTAL production made in a day.

The problem says that a shop produces metal on two different machines. It means that you must take into account the daily production of each one for finding the total production.

The first machine produces 300 frames in a day.

The second machine produces 180 frames in a day too.

So, if the first and the second machines are working together in a single day, the TOTAL daily production is the sum of the production of each one.

production=300+180=480

Thus, the daily shop productivity is 480 frames

Find the area of the compound shape
andrey2020 [161]
This shape is separated into two trapezoids. The equation for the area of a trapezoid is .5(base1 + base2) multiplied by height. Therefore, each half of the compound shape would be equal to .5(12 + 8) * 6 or 10 * 6 = 60. So the area of the total would be 60+60 or 120.
