We call x the 4 points-worth problems and y the 3 points-worth problems
You know that x+y = 32
4x+3y = 111
You know that the difference from the x and y is 32 so write:
x = 32-y
Substitute at x the value of 32-y
4(32-y)+3y = 111
128-4y +3y = 111
-4y+3y = 111-128
-y = -17
y = 17
Make the fractions improper:
33/4 + 14/5
Find common denominator:
165/20 + 56/20
Add:
221/20
Answer:
11 1/20
Answer:
- height: 9 chi 6 cun
- width: 2 chi 8 cun
Step-by-step explanation:
The factor-of-ten relationship between the different units means we can combine the numbers in decimal fashion. If 1 unit is 1 zhang, then 1 chi is 0.1 zhang and 1 cun is 0.01 zhang. Hence 6 chi 8 cun is 0.68 zhang.
Let x and y represent the width and height, respectively. In terms of zhang, we have ...
y - x = 0.68
x^2 +y^2 = 1^2
Substituting y = 0.68 +x into the second equation gives ...
x^2 + (x +0.68)^2 = 1
2x^2 +1.36x - 0.5376 = 0 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, subtract 1
Using the quadratic formula, we have ...
x = (-1.36 ±√(1.36^2 -4(2)(-0.5376)))/(2·2) = (-1.36 ±√6.1504)/4
x = 0.28 . . . . . the negative root is of no interest
y = 0.28 +0.68 = 0.96
In units of chi and cun, the dimensions are ...
height: 9 chi 6 cun
width: 2 chi 8 cun
Answer:
The correct option is V = one-third (6) (4) (8).
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a rectangular pyramid is:
Here,
V = volume
l = length
b = base
h = height
The information provided is:
l = 6 inches
b = 4 inches
h = 8 inches.
Compute the equation of the volume of a rectangular pyramid as follows:
Thus, the correct option is V = one-third (6) (4) (8).
