The larger triangle is 5x the size of the smaller triangle.
5*5=25 and 3*5=15
So I figured that would be the same for the 3x+8 side and the 4 side.
4*5=20, So you'd set 3x+8 equal to 20 and solve from there.
3x+8=20
-8 -8
$\frac{3x=12}{3}$
x=4

Use back-substitution to solve the system of linear equations.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y + 5z = 29

y + 2z = 4

z = 7

since z = 7 we can use this value in second equation

y + 2×7 = 4 and y = -10

now we know the value of y we can solve the first equation

x -(-10) + 5×7 = 29

x + 10 + 35 = 29

x = -11

The diagram shows a prism.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Total surface area of the prism = 920 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given prism has 2 similar triangular surfaces and 3 rectangular surfaces of different dimensions.

Area of one triangular side = $\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})$

Area of 2 similar sides = Base × Height

= 8 × 15

= 120 cm²

Area of rectangular side with dimensions 17cm × 20cm

Area of the side = 17 × 20 = 340 cm²

Area of the second rectangular side with dimensions 8cm × 20cm

Area of the side = 8 × 20 = 160 cm²

Area of third rectangular side with dimensions 20cm × 15cm

Area of the side = 20 × 15 = 300 cm²

Total surface area of the given triangular prism = 120 + 340 + 160 + 300

= 920 cm²
