Answer: D) 10

============================================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming points M and N are midpoints of segments FD and FE respectively. If that's the case, then segment DE is twice as long compared to segment MN. We consider MN to be a midsegment.

So,

DE = 2*(MN)

3x-2 = 2*(x+4)

3x-2 = 2x+8

3x-2x = 8+2

x = 10

The sides of a triangle are 3x+ 2, 6x, and 5x. Find the expression to represent the perimeter. To find the perimeter, we ADD the

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

14x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = sum of the measures of each side

If a triangle has side lengths of 3x+ 2, 6x, and 5x then the perimeter of that triangle is equal to 3x + 2 + 6x + 5x

Notice that the expression 3x + 2 + 6x + 5x has similar terms so to get the simplist version of the perimeter we would simply combine like terms

3x + 6x + 5x = 14x

The perimeter would = 14x + 2

Find the surface area of the cylinder formed by the net. Use 3.14 for π.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

138.16 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the cylinder consists of one rectangle and two circles.

1. The radius of the circle is 4 ft, then the area of the circle is

$A_{circle}=\pi r^2 =\pi \cdot 4^2 =16\pi \ ft^2$

2. The width of the rectangle is 1.5 ft, the length of the rectangle is the circumference of the circle.

Find the circumference:

$C=2\pi r=2\pi \cdot 4=8\pi \ ft$

Hence,

$A_{rectangle}=1.5\cdot 8\pi =12\pi \ ft^2$

3. The surface area of the cylinder is

$SA=2A_{circle}+A_{rectangle}=\\ \\=2\cdot 16\pi +12\pi =32\pi +12\pi =44\pi \approx \\ \\\approx 44\cdot 3.14=138.16\ ft^2$
