Given:

The volume of a prism with equilateral triangular cross-section is 270cm³.

Length of the prism = 10\sqrt{3} cm

To find:

The length of the side of the equilateral triangular cross-section.

Solution:

Formulae used:

Area of an equilateral triangle is

Area=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2

Where a is the side length of equilateral triangle.

Volume of prism is

V=Bh

Where, B is base area and h is the height of the triangular prism.

Cross section of the prism is an equilateral triangular so the base area of the prism is  \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2 sq. cm.

The volume of the prism is

V=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2\times 10\sqrt{3}

270=\dfrac{10(3)}{4}a^2

270=\dfrac{30}{4}a^2

270=7.5a^2

Divide both sides by 7.5.

\dfrac{270}{7.5}=a^2

36=a^2

\pm \sqrt{36}=a

6=a

It takes only positive value because the side cannot be negative.

Therefore, the length of the side of the equilateral triangular cross-section is 6 cm.

In a class, every student knows French or German (or both). 15 students know French, and 17 students know German.
vazorg [7]
If you apply the or both
Only 1 of the students would need to know the "or both", therefore maximizing the remaining amount of students you can put in.

Gerald, let's call him, knows French AND German, so there's only one less student that knows french and german. Gerald is 1 student.

MAXIMUM:
There are now 14 monolinguistic French speakers and 16 monolinguistic German's, 30 students + Gerald=31.

Minimum:
As a bonus, the minimum is 15 students knowing french AND German and only 2 monolinguistic German speakers, so 17.

Answer:

The slope of the red line is also 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines never meet. So, they always have the same slope. If they had different slopes, then they would meet on the graph at some point. However, since the lines have the same slope, they will never meet since they proportionally grow at the same rate.
