Similar means that the student's desk and the teacher's desk is proportional. 
\frac{length of teacher's desk}{width of teacher's desk} = \frac{length of student's desk}{width of student's desk}
\frac{50}{x} = \frac{30}{18}
Simplify: \frac{50}{x} = \frac{5}{3}
Solve for x. 
50*3=5*x
x=30. in.

Which expression can be used to find the surface area of the following square pyramid
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

36+15+15+15+15

Step-by-step explanation:

For the surface area we need to add up all the areas in the pyramid:

  • area of the base
  • area of the triangle sides (there are 4 triangles)

Area of the base:

the base is a square, and the area of a square is given by:

a_{base}=l^2

where l is the length of the side: l=6, thus:

a_{base}=(6)^2\\a_{base}=36

Area of the triangles:

one triangle has the area given by the formula:

a_{triangle}=\frac{b*h}{2}

where b is the base of the triangle: b=6

and h is the height of the triangle: h=5, thus we have the following:

a_{triangle}=\frac{6*5}{2} \\\\a_{triangle}=\frac{30}{2} \\\\a_{triangle}=15

the expression that represents the surface area of the pyramid is:

a_{base}+area_{triangle}+area_{triangle}+area_{triangle}+area_{triangle}

substituting our values:

36+15+15+15+15

which is option B

Explain what is meant by intercepts with the axes give examples of y and x intercepts
alisha [4.7K]

Intercepts with the axes are where your line touches the x or y axis. An example is a straight line, say, y=4x+2. In this case, the y-intercept is 2 because the line touches the y-axis at (0, 2). With y=mx+b format, the y-intercept is b. To find the x-intercept of an equation in y=mx+b format, set y to zero and solve for x. In a parabola, the x-intercepts would be the roots. An example of this is x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0. The roots here are (4,0) and (1,0). Hopefully this helped.

What is the result of the following division?
Vlad1618 [11]

For this case we must indicate the result of the following expression:

\frac {2x ^ 3-3x + 5} {x + 3}

We must build a quotient that, when multiplied by the divisor, eliminates the terms of the dividend until it reaches the remainder.

It must be fulfilled that:

Dividend = Quotient * Divider + Remainder
