Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:   N = 143

Discussion:

This one took some trial and error! At first I listed all 2 digit primes, looked at the list, but didn't know how to proceed. So, I took the smallest 2 digit primes numbers:  11 and 13 and wondered if their product, 13*11 = 143, could be represented as the sum of  3 consecutive primes.   I went back to my list of primes,  added groups of three consecutive numbers that seemed to be in the right range to give the desired sum, and stumbled on  43, 47, and 53!

43 + 47 + 53 =  143 !


Therefore N = 143. It's the sum of 43, 47, and 53 as well as the product of 11 and 13.


Thank you,

MrB

What is the length of DE?
Andreyy89

Answer:

D. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the triangles are similar:

The side lenghts would be proportional as follows

XZ/DF = XY/DE

12/8 = 9/x cross multiply expressions

12x = 72 divide both sides by 12

x = 6

A solid piece of wood shaped as a cylinder with an 8-centimeter diameter is cut as shown. What is the surface area of the figure
aliina [53]
The surface area of the figure is 96 + 64π ⇒ 1st answer
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lats revise how to find the surface area of the cylinder
- The surface area = lateral area + 2 × area of one base
- The lateral area = perimeter of the base × its height
* Lets solve the problem
- The figure is have cylinder
- Its diameter = 8 cm
∴ Its radius = 8 ÷ 2 = 4 cm
- Its height = 12 cm
∵ The perimeter of the semi-circle = πr
∴ The perimeter of the base = 4π cm
∵ The area of semi-circle = 1/2 πr²
∴ The area of the base = 1/2 × π × 4² = 8π cm²
* Now lets find the surface area of the half-cylinder
- SA = lateral area + 2 × area of one base + the rectangular face
∵ LA = perimeter of base × its height
∴ LA = 4π × 12 = 48π cm²
∵ The dimensions of the rectangular face are the diameter and the
height of the cylinder
∴ The area of the rectangular face = 8 × 12 = 96 cm²
∵ The area of the two bases = 2 × 8π = 16π cm²
∴ SA = 48π + 16π + 96 = 64π + 96 cm²
* The surface area of the figure is 96 + 64π

Add the like terms: -3ab+-10a+-8a
Stolb23 [73]
-10a and -8a are like terms, but -3ab is not equivalent.  With the two a terms, we have:

-10a-8a

a(-10-8)

-18a

We then add in the other term (-3ab) for a final result of -3ab+-18a.  This can be factored alternatively as -3a(b+6).
