Answer:

number of chicken = 50

number of sheep = 100

number of horse = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of chicken

y = number of sheep

z = number of horse

x + y + z = 154 (1)

2x + 4y + 4z = 516 (2)

the number of sheep equals twice the number of chickens

y = 2x

Substitute into the equation

x + y + z = 154

x + 2x + z = 154

3x + z = 154 (3)

2x + 4y + 4z = 516

2x + 4(2x) + 4z = 516

2x + 8x + 4z = 516

10x + 4z = 516 (4)

3x + z = 154 (3)

10x + 4z = 516 (4)

Multiply (3) by 4 to eliminate z

12x + 4z = 616 (5)

10x + 4z = 516 (4)

Subtract (4) from (5)

12x - 10x = 616 - 516

2x = 100

x = 100/2

x = 50

Recall,

y = 2x

y = 2(50)

y = 100

x + y + z = 154

50 + 100 + z = 154

150 + z = 154

z = 154 - 150

z = 4

number of chicken = 50

number of sheep = 100

number of horse = 4

The bases of a prism are right triangles with side lengths 6 meters, 8 meters, and 10 meters. The height of the prism is 3 meter
Mariulka [41]
Given:
S1 = 6 m
S2 = 8 m
S3 = 10 m
h = 3 m

Lateral Area Formula :
LA = hP  ; height * perimeter
     = 3m * (6 + 8 + 10)
     = 3m * 24
LA = 72 m² 

Surface Area Formula:
SA = 2B + hP       : B = area of the base  = ab / 2 = (6m * 8m)/2 = 48/2 = 24m²
SA = 2(24m²) + 72m²
SA = 48 m² + 72 m²
SA = 120 m²
