Solution:
If the <u>numerator</u> and the <u>denominator</u> have like bases in exponents, then the <u>exponents</u> subtract.
- =>

Thus, 7b is the simplified expression.
Parallel lines are in the same plane, never intersect, and have the same slope.
The correct answer is 15.
Use the distributive property for the left side first
3.2=1/2q+5.65
subtract 5.65 from both sides
-2.45=1/2q
divide both sides by 1/2
q=-4.9
Answer:
180 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
From inspection of the diagram, the surface area is made up of the area of 4 congruent triangles and the area of one square.
Area of a square = x² (where x is the length of one side)
⇒ area of the square = 6² = 36 cm²
Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height
⇒ area of one triangle = 1/2 x 6 x 12 = 36 cm²
Total surface area = 4 x area of one triangle + area of the square
= 4 x 36 + 36
= 144 + 36
= 180 cm²
