Answer:
The smaller number is 3. The number 3 squared is 9, plus the other number 5 squared, which is 25. when you add them, you get 34

Step-by-step explanation:
x = first number
y = second number
a. x+2 = y
b. x^2 + y^2 = 34
Replace y from equation a into equation b:
x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 34
Expand it
x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 34
2*x^2 + 4x = 30
2x^2 + 4x - 30=0
solving x:
x = -5 and x =3 , it says it is a positive number, then it is x is 3
and the second number, y = x + 2
y = 5
Lets test it!
3^2 + 5^ 2 = 9 + 25 = 34

A special box designed to hold an antique artifact is shaped like a triangular prism. The surface area of the box is 421.2 squar
Oksanka [162]
The area of the base is:
 A = root ((s-a) * (s-b) * (s-c) * (s))
 Where,
 a, b, c: sides of the triangle
 s = (a + b + c) / 2
 We have then:
 s = (9 + 9 + 9) / 2
 s = 13.5
 A = root ((13.5-9) * (13.5-9) * (13.5-9) * (13.5))
 A = 35.07
 Then, the surface area of the prism is:
 S.A = 2 * A + 9h + 9h + 9h
 Where,
 h: height of the prism:
 Substituting values:
 421.2 = 2 * (35.07) + 9h + 9h + 9h
 Clearing h:
 27h = (421.2 - 2 * (35.07))
 h = (421.2 - 2 * (35.07)) / (27)
 h = 13
 Answer:
 
the height of the box is:
 
h = 13 inches
