Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This actually happened to me. I was walking out of a national forest and came up to a stream that I had not crossed. I got my bearings confused and realized I was lost. I knew that if I went Northwest it would be about a 30 mile hike out in heavy woods, with obvious other streams to cross. In the Southeast direction, it would only be about 5 miles.

The sun was out but mostly overhead and no help with directions.

I couldn't wait until the sun went farther West to get my directions. It was a warm Winter day but I wasn't dressed to be there after dark when the temperature fell, even if I did go in the correct direction.

I stuck a stick in the ground and made a mark in the dirt at the end of it's shadow. I sat down for about 15 minutes, then made a new mark in the dirt at the end of the sticks shadow again. I drew a line in the dirt to connect the two marks. This line ran close to the East/West direction, the first mark being the West direction.

I made it out about 5 PM just as the sun was disappearing through the trees.

What is the area of the triangle?

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

the area of a triangle is b*h/2

we can set BC as the base because AC is harder to calculate.

Then we draw an imaginary height.

There's no way to really explain, but the height would be 5 here, since 3 - -2 = 5

The base is 3

3*5/2 = 15/2

Thanks,

If x = 5 cm, y = 12 cm, and z = 13 cm, what is the surface area of the geometric shape formed by this net?

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

the answer is C. 210 sq. cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the triangle

The area of one of the triangular faces can be found by using the formula below.

a = 1/2 bh

a = 1/2 (5 cm) (12 cm)

a = 30 sq. cm

Since there are two triangular faces, multiply the area of one triangular face by 2. The area of two triangular faces is 60 cm2.

Next, find the area of each of the three rectangular faces using the formula, area = lw.

1st rectangle

a = lw

a = (5 cm) (5 cm)

a = 25 sq. cm

2nd rectangle

a = lw

a = (5 cm) (12 cm)

a = 60 sq. cm

3rd rectangle

a = lw

a = (5 cm) (13 cm)

a - 65 sq. cm

Add the three rectangle areas to find a total of 150 sq. cm.

To find the surface area of the triangular prism, add the area of the two triangular faces to the area of the three rectangular faces.

60 sq. cm + 150 sq. cm = 210 sq. cm

8 + 8( 8 - n ) = 40 + 8n

Ierofanga [76]

n=2

8+8(8-n)=40+8n (distribute 8 through the parenthesis)

8+64-8n=40-8n (add the numbers)

72-8n=40+8n (move the variable to the left side and change its sign)

72-8n+8n=40

-8n+8n=40-72 (connect like terms)

-16n = -32 (divide both sides by -16)

n=2

P³ = 1/8 please help me if anybody can .

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

$p= \dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

$p^3=\dfrac{1}{8}$

Cube root both sides:

$\implies \sqrt[3]{p^3}= \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{1}{8}}$

$\implies p= \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{1}{8}}$

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad \sqrt[n]{a}=a^{\frac{1}{n}}:$

$\implies p= \left(\dfrac{1}{8}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad \left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^c=\dfrac{a^c}{b^c}:$

$\implies p= \dfrac{1^{\frac{1}{3}}}{8^{\frac{1}{3}}}$

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad 1^a=1:$

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{8^{\frac{1}{3}}}$

Rewrite 8 as 2³:

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{(2^3)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad (a^b)^c=a^{bc}:$

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{2^{(3 \cdot \frac{1}{3})}}$

Simplify:

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{2^{\frac{3}{3}}}$

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{2^{1}}$

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{2}$
