Answer:

Question 1 = c) Medium: 88 ft²

Question 2 = d) 46.7 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

We would be solving this question by finding the surface area of the tent. The shape of the tent is a square based pyramid.

The surface area of a square based pyramid(tent) =

a² + 2ah

Where in the diagram,

a = base length = 4 ft

h = height of the pyramid (tent ) = 9ft

Surface area = 4² + 2 × 4 × 9

= 16 + 72

= 88ft²

Therefore, the size tarp should she purchase is Medium: 88 ft²

Question 2

For question 2, from the attached diagram, we can see that the diagram is a square based pyramid.

To calculate the amount of water that would fill the square based pyramid, we would have to find the Volume of the tent(square based pyramid).

The formula for the Volume of the tent(square based pyramid) = 1/3(a²h)

Where a = base edge

h = height of the pyramid.

From the diagram,

a = base edge => 4ft.

From the question,

h = height of the tent is given as how tall the tent is = 8.75ft.

Therefore, 1/3(a²h)

1/3 × (4ft)²× 8.75ft

= 46.67ft³

Approximately = 46.7ft³

Therefore, the amount of water it would it take to fill the tent, if the tent is 8.75 ft tall is 46.7ft³

A and B are vertical angles. If m A = (3x+3)° and m B= (4x-8)°, then find the value of x.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer: x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

First, since angle A and angle B are vertical angles, that means that they are congruent. If they are congruent, then the m of angle A equals the measure of angle B. So, (3x+3)=(4x-8). Simplify using algebra so that in the end, you will find that x=11.

3x+3=4x-8

3=x-8

11=x

Solve the simultaneous equations 3 2x - y = 7 xy = 15

ehidna [41]

Answer:

(5, 3 ) and (- $\frac{3}{2}$ , - 10 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - y = 7 → (1)

xy = 15 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing y in terms of x , that is

y = 2x - 7 → (3)

Substitute y = 2x - 7 into (2)

x(2x - 7) = 15

2x² - 7x = 15 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

2x² - 7x - 15 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 5)(2x + 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = - $\frac{3}{2}$

Substitute these values into (3) for corresponding values of y

x = 5 : y = 2(5) - 7 = 10 - 7 = 3 ⇒ (5, 3 )

x = - $\frac{3}{2}$ : y = 2(- $\frac{3}{2}$ ) - 7 = - 3 - 7 = - 10 ⇒ (- $\frac{3}{2}$ , - 10 )

Tom opens a bank account and makes an initial deposit of $500. The banker tells Tom that he is going to revive an annual rate of

daser333 [38]

So for this you will be using an exponential equation, which is $y=ab^x$ with a=initial value, b=growth/decay, y = total balance, and x = # of years

In this case, a = 500, and since with this problem the initial value is growing, you will add 100% to 6% to get 106%, or 1.06. The equation will be formed as such: $y=500(1.06)^x$
