Answer:

Area of cross section is 104 $\:inche^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Dimensions of Rectangular prism are Length = 5 inches, Width = 12 inches and Height = 8 inches.

The shape of the cross section that is perpendicular to the base and created by slicing the prism through diagonals of top and bottom is Rectangle.

Length of rectangle = Length of diagonal of base & top = 13 inches

Width of Rectangle = Height of Prism = 8 inches

Area of Cross Sectional Rectangle = Length × Width

= 13 × 8

= 104 $\:inche^2$

Therefore, Area of cross section is 104 $\:inche^2$

Sally either walks, cycles or drives to work. She walks about 15% of the time and drives about 3/5 of the time. What percentage

goblinko [34]

Answer: She cycles 25% of the time

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Sally walks 15% of the time.

She drives 3/5 of the time.

We then convert 3/5 to percentage.

Converting to percentage means multiplying by a factor of 100.

Hence, Sally drives 3/5*100 = 60% of the time.

If Sally walks 15% of the time and drives 60% of the time, adding up the percentage time used by these two media of transportation will give us

60% + 15% = 75%

Hence if she cycles for the remainder of the time, expressing it as percentage would mean subtracting the time used in other means by 100%

Hence it will be 100% - 75% = 25%

What would be the sum of the lengths of the first and second diagonals rounded to the nearest whole number?

drek231 [11]

Answer:

16.17684994

Step-by-step explanation:

First diagonal

x^2 = a^2 + b^2

x^2 = 5^2 + 6^2

x^2 = 61

x ≈ 7.810249676

Second diagonal

x^2 = a^2 + b^2

x^2 = 7.810249676^2 + 3^2

x^2 = 70

x ≈ 8.366600265

Sum of both diagonals

8.366600265 + 7.810249676

= 16.17684994

Answer:

1.7

Step-by-step explanation:

You do rise over run or y/x to find your answer. You go over 6 and up 10 to get from the lower point to the one on top. 10/6=1.666667 and rounded will be 1.7

Let t[1..n] be a sorted array of distinct integers, some of which may be negative. give an algorithm that can find an index i su

lisabon 2012 [21]

Assuming we need to find i such that
1 ≤ i ≤ n and t[i]=i.

If we need to find only the first occurrence, we can do:

for i:1 to n {
if t[i]=i then return(i)
}

If exhaustive search is required, then put the results (values of i) in an array or a linked list, return the number of values found, and the array (or linked list).
