Answer:

coordinates of its centroid=(-1,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given three lines are:

8x+3y=12,                                     (1)

6y-7x=24                                      (2)

and x+9y+33.                               (3)

Multiplying equation (1) by 2 and subtract the equation (2), we get

23x=0⇒x=0,

Putting the value of x=0 in equation (2), we get

6y=24

y=4

Now, multiply the first equation by 3 and subtract the equation (3), we get

23x=69⇒x=3

Putting the value of x=3 in equation (1), we get

24+3y=12

3y=-12

y=-4

Also, multiplying the equation (3) by 7 and add the equation (2), we get

69y=-207

y=-3

Putting the value of y=-3 in equation (2), we get

6(-3)-7x=24

-18-24=7x

x=-6

So the centroid is located at (the average of the three vertices):  

x=\frac{0+3-6}{3}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1 and y=\frac{4-4-3}{3}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1.

Thus, the coordinates of its centroid=(-1,-1)

The base of a rectangular prism has an area of 24 square millimeters. The volume of the prism is 144 cubic millimeters. The shap
Sav [38]

Answer:

height = 6 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The prism is a rectangular prism. The base area of the prism is 24 mm². The volume of the prism is given as 144 mm³.

The height of the prism can be solved as follows.

Volume of the rectangular prism = Bh

where

B = base area

h = height

Volume = 144 mm³

B = 24 mm²

volume = Bh

144 = 24 × h

144 = 24h

divide both sides by 24

h = 144/24

h = 6 mm
