Answer:

Part A

The volume of the triangular prism is 500 cm³

Part B

The total surface area of the prism is approximately 441.42 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given details are;

The dimensions of the side length of the cube, s = 10 cm

The shape the cube was cut across to obtain = A prism

Part A

Whereby the prism obtained is a triangular prism, we have;

The cube can be cut in half to form a triangular prism

The volume of each triangular prism obtained = (1/2) × The volume of the cube

∴ The volume of the triangular prism = (1/2) × (10 cm)³ = 500 cm³

Part B

The height of the prism, h = 10 cm × sin(45°) = 5·√2 cm = (1/2) × The base width of the prism

The triangular cross sectional area of the prism, A₁ = 5·√2 × 5·√2 = 50

The square cross sectional area, A₂ = 10 × 10 = 100

The cross sectional area of the base, A₃ = 10·√2 × 10 = 100·√2

The total surface area of the prism, A = 2·A₁ + 2·A₂ + A₃

∴ A = 2×50 + 2×100 + 100·√2 = 300 + 100·√2 ≈ 441.42

The total surface area of the prism, A ≈ 441.42 cm²

A prism with a base area of 5 ft² and a height of 10 ft is dilated by a factor of 65 . What is the volume of the dilated prism?

mina [271]

Answer:

The volume of the dilated prism is $86.4ft^3$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The original prism has base area $5ft^2$ and a height of $10ft$ .

The volume of the original prism is $v=5\times 10=50ft^3$ .

The prism is dilated by a scale factor of $k=\frac{6}{5}$ .

To find the volume of the dilated prism, we multiply the volume of the original prism by $k^3=\frac{216}{125}$ .

$V=\frac{216}{125} \times 50ft^3$

$\Rightarrow V=86.4ft^3$

PLEASE HELP

densk [106]

For this case we have that by definition, a function is of the form:

$y = f (x)$

So, we have the following system of equations:

$y = -6x + 2\\y = -2x + 4$

Equating the equations we have:

$-6x + 2 = -2x + 4$

Adding 2x to both sides of the equation:

$-6x + 2x + 2 = 4\\-4x + 2 = 4$

Subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation:

$-4x = 4-2\\-4x = 2$

Dividing between -4 on both sides of the equation:

$x = \frac {2} {- 4}\\x = - \frac {1} {2}$

Thus, the value of the variable "x" is -0.5.

Answer:

-0.5

Help me pleasee!!!!!!!!!!!!

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles 1, 2, and 3 are supplementary (they add up to equal 180). If angles 1 and 3 are 20 each, then their sum in 40, making angle 2

180 - 40 = 140. If this central angle is 140 degrees, then the measure of the arc that it cuts off also measures 140 degrees. This is not to be confused with the arc length, which is not even remotely the same thing!

Pat made a total of 48 pottery plates and cups. if she made twice as many plates as cups, how many plates did she make?

ddd [48]

If C stands for cups, solve for C

48 - 2c = 0
l
subtract 48 from each side.
l
2c=-48
l
divide 48 by 2 ---> 24.
