Answer:

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need to know the abbreviations of measurements because when pertaining to the real world, an you will see things as so "This fence is about 15ft tall." or "Jacobb is 72in tall." If you do not understand the abbreviations you will not understand what anyone is ever talking about when it comes to measurements. As for knowing how to convert measures to be equivalent, that is important because some measurements are bigger than others. It doesn't make since to say 12 inches, when you can just say 1 foot.

Tower one, a cube with a hexagonal prism measures 15.6cm. Tower two, a cube with a cylinder measures 18.3cm. Tower 3, a hexagona

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

$Tower 4 = 23.9cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tower one = 15.6 cm

Tower two = 18.3 cm

Tower 3 = 13.9 cm.

Required:

Height of the 4th tower

Represent a cube by X; a cylinder by Y and a hexagonal prism by Z

Tower one, a cube with a hexagonal prism = X + Z = 15.6

Tower two, a cube with a cylinder = X + Y = 18.3

Tower 3, a hexagonal prism with a cylinder = Z + Y = 13.9

$X + Z = 15.6$ ----- Equation 1

$X + Y = 18.3$ ----- Equation 2

$Z + Y = 13.9$ ----- Equation 3

Subtract equation 1 from 2

$(X + Y = 18.3) - (X + Z = 15.6)$

$X - X + Y - Z = 18.3 -15.6$

$Y - Z = 18.3 -15.6$

$Y - Z = 2.7$ ---- Equation 4

Add Equation 4 to Equation 3

$(Y - Z = 2.7) + (Z + Y = 13.9)$

$Y + Y - Z + Z = 2.7+ 13.9$

$2Y = 2.7+ 13.9$

$2Y = 16.6$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2Y}{2} = \frac{16.6}{2}$

$Y = \frac{16.6}{2}$

$Y = 8.3cm$

Substitute $Y = 8.3cm$ in Equation 2 and 3

$X + Y = 18.3$ ----- Equation 2

$X + 8.3 = 18.3$

Subtract 8.3 from both sides

$X + 8.3 - 8.3 = 18.3 - 8.3$

$X = 18.3 - 8.3$

$X = 10cm$

$Z + Y = 13.9$ ----- Equation 3

$Z + 8.3 = 13.9$

Subtract 8.3 from both sides

$Z + 8.3 - 8.3 = 13.9 - 8.3$

$Z = 13.9 - 8.3$

$Z = 5.6cm$

So, we have that

$X = 10cm$

$Y = 8.3cm$

$Z = 5.6cm$

The question states that the 4th tower is made up of the three shapes;

This implies that;

$Tower 4 = X + Y + Z$

$Tower 4 = 10cm + 8.3cm + 5.6cm$

$Tower 4 = 23.9cm$

The height of the 4th tower is 23.9cm
