Answer:

No, she cannot completely cover the footrest.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find the total surface area of the prism to be covered using the cotton cloth

the total surface area of the prism is

A = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw,

l is the length of the prism = 18 in,

w= width of the prism = 12 in,

h is the height of the prism = 10 in

hence A = 2(12 \times 18 ) + 2(18 \times 10) + 2(10 \times 12)=1032in^{2}

We need to convert the area of the fabric to be in the same unit as that of the prism

Area of cotton fabric = 1 yd^{2}= 1296 in ^{2}

since the surface area of the foot rest is more than the area of fabric she has, she cannot completely cover the footrest

Answer:

The surface area of the footrest is 1032In²

And since she has 1yd²(1296in²) of fabric she cannot cover the footrest completely

Step-by-step explanation:

Kindly find attached rough sketch of the rectangular prism for your reference.

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a rectangular prism

To solve the problem we need to calculate the total surface area of the prism and compare it with her 1yd fabric

Given data

Length 18 in.

Width 12 in.

Height 10 in

SA=2(wl+hl+hw)

SA= 2(12*18+ 10*18+ 10*12)

SA= 2(216+180+120)

SA= 2(516)

SA= 1032In²

Let us make the comparison

1 yd² is equal to 1296in²

The indicated function y1(x) is a solution of the associated homogeneous equation. Use the method of reduction of order to find
Serga [27]

Answer:

Required solution is y(x)=1+A\cos x+B\sin x where A and B are constants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given nonhomogenous differential equation is,

y''(x)+y'(x)=1\hfill (1)   with y_1(x)=1

To find another solution, consider m=\frac{\partial}{\partial x} be such that,

m^2+1=0\implies m=\pm i

Hence,

C.F=A\cos x+B\sin x   where A and B are constants.

Let  D=\frac{\partial}{\partial x}

P.I=\frac{1}{1+D^2}(1)

=(1+D^2)^{-1}(1)

=(1-D^2+.....)(1)=1

Hence,

y(x)=1+A\cos x+B\sin x where A and B are constants.

which is required solution.

A dj is preparing a playlist of 21 songs. how many different ways can the dj arrange the first six songs on the​ playlist?
kirill115 [55]
Answer: The are 39,070,080 different ways the DJ can play the first 6 songs.

We will use the Fundamental Counting Principle to find the answer. Simply determine the number of choices for each position and multiply.

For the first choice there are 21 choices. Then, the number is reduced by 1 each time.

So to get the answer, we have to multiply the numbers below:

21 x 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16
