Answer:

It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Pieter's equation :

7h – 5(3h – 8) = –72

Opening up the bracket

7h - 15h + 40 = - 72

7h - 15h = - 72 - 40

-8h = - 112

Divide both sides by -8

-8h / -8 = - 112 / - 8

h = 14

Since, h represents the number of hours, and the value of h equals 14 (h cannot be negative), hence, option 2 is correct.

Identify the lateral area and surface area of a regular square pyramid with base edge length 11 cm and slant height 15 cm, round
Ann [662]

The surface area of the square pyramid is: 451 cm²

The lateral surface area of the square pyramid = 330 cm²

<h3>What is the Lateral Surface Area and Surface Area of a Square Pyramid?</h3>

Surface area = a² + 2al, where a is the base edge and l is the slant height.

Lateral Surface Area =  2al.

Given the following:

  • a = 11 cm
  • l = 15 cm

Surface area = a² + 2al = 11² + 2(11)(15)

Surface area = 451 cm²

Lateral Surface Area =  2al = 2(11)(15)

Lateral Surface Area = 330 cm²

Four students are reading a book for a school assignment. The table shows how much of the book each student has read so far.
aniked [119]

Answer:

The first one

Step-by-step explanation:

when you are doing work with decimals the less numbers behind the decimal the bigger the decimal the more numbers the smaller the decimal based on that, 3550 is the biggest so that would go first. 13 is the next biggest and 0.3 is the same as 0.30 and there are less numbers after the decimal so that is the next biggest. 0.35 would go next because there are more numbers behind the decimal which makes it the smallest. I hope this helps :P
