You have two unknowns - the number of people (P) and the number of horses (H). You can set up two equations to solve for these two unknowns. Every person and every horse has 1 head, so:

P+H=74

Also, every person has 2 legs but every horse has 4 legs, so:

2P+4H=196

We can now solve by rearranging the first equation (H = 74 - P), and subbing that value into the second equation:

A plank of wood is 220 cm long.I cut it in 14cm pieces. what lenght of wood i will have left over?
Nana76 [90]

The required Length is 10cm.

What is length?

  • Length is a measure of distance. In the International System of Amounts, length is a volume with dimension distance. In utmost systems of dimension a base unit for length is chosen, from which all other units are deduced.
  • Length is generally understood to mean the most extended dimension of a fixed object. still, this isn't always the case and may depend on the position the object is in.
  • Varied terms for the length of a fixed object are used, and these include height, which is the perpendicular length or perpendicular extent, and range, breadth, or depth. Height is used when there's a base from which perpendicular measures can be taken. range or breadth generally relates to a shorter dimension when the length is the longest one.

220 / 14 gives us 15.

You have to understand that this means 15 whole 14 cm pieces and a Length of 1 piece.

thus 14 * 15 = 210

So 220- 210 = 10

where you know 220- 210 is< 15

Hence, The correct Length is 10cm.

Answer:

The surface area of the prism is 276 in.²

If you are also looking for the volume of the prism, it is 280.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's hard to find the surface area and the volume of the prism if you're just looking at the net of the 3D shape. There are some unnecessary measurements that will definitely throw you off. I drew a sample prism so it's easier to solve. Check the linked image.

The formula in finding the surface area of a prism is SA = 2(wl + hl + hw), where w is for width, l is for length, and h is for height. The point of all of these calculations is to find the area of 3 different faces of the prism and then you add up all of the areas and multiply the sum by 2 to give you the surface area. Looks a lot but it's worth getting the answer right.

The formula in finding the volume of the prism is V = w * h * l, where w is for width, h is for height, and l is for length. Simple multiplication of 3 different sides and you'll get the volume. I hope this helps and if I am wrong please let me know! :D
