There are 6 surfaces on a rectangular prism . 3 pairs of equal area.

Surface area  2wl + 2hw + 2 hl     where h = height, w = width,  l = length.

So inserting the given values:-

442 = 2*w*11 + 2 *8* w + 2*8*11

442 = 22w  + 16w + 176

38w =  442-176 = 266

w =  7

width = 7 feet

Formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is S=2ab + 2bc + 2ac (a-lenght,b-width,c-height).
We need to calculate b (width).
S=442 ft^2
a=11 ft
c=8ft
------------------
b=?

S=2ab + 2bc + 2ac
S=2b(a+c) + 2ac
2b(a+c)=S - 2ac
b=(S - 2ac)/(2(a+c))
b=(442 - 2×11×8)/(2×(11+8))
b=(442 - 176)/(2×19)
b=266/38
b=7 ft

Given the points (5, 2) and (7, 10) find the slope of the line going through the two points . Now write the point-slope form of
drek231 [11]

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line is specified as the ratio y/x. that indicates how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units.

so, going e.g. from (5, 2) to (7, 10), x changes from 5 to 7 = +2 units. and y changes from 2 to 10 = +8 units.

so, the slope y/x = m = 8/2 = 4

the point-slope form is

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = slope

(x1, y1) = coordinates of one point on the line. let's pick the first point (5, 2).

y - 2 = 4(x - 5)

or then fully simplified (leading to the slope- intercept form) :

y - 2 = 4x - 20

y = 4x - 18

for question 2 we do the same thing for (4, -2) and (0, -5).

x changes from 4 to 0, so, -4 units.

y changes from -2 to -5, so, -3 units.

slope = y/x = m = -3/-4 = 3/4

since there is a 0 included, let's use (0, -5) as point for the point-slope form

y - -5 = 3/4(x - 0)

or

y + 5 = 3/4 x

so, the last option is correct.

The parabola y = x² - 4 opens: <br> A.) up <br> B.) down<br> C.) right<br> D.) left
fomenos

Answer:

Up

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the easy rules to remember the orientation of the parabolas are

a) If x is squared it opens up or down. And its coefficient of {x^{2}[tex] is negative it opens down.b) If y is squared it opens side ways right or left. It its coefficient of [tex]y^{2}

Hence in our equation of parabola

y = x^ 2-4

x is squared and its coefficient is positive , hence it opens up towards positive y axis.

Anika [276]

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of an even number

3/6 = 1/2

Probability of one showing up

1/6

Probably of even number on first try and 1 on second try

1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12

A carpenter has at most $250 to spend on lumber the inequality 8x+12y&lt;250 represents the numbers x of 2 by 8 boards and the n
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The carpenter will not be able to buy 12  '2 by 8 boards' and 14 '4 by 4 boards'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount a carpenter can spend at most = $250

The inequality to represent the amount he can spend on each type of board is given as:

8x+12y

where x represents  '2 by 8 boards' and y represents '4 by 4 boards'.

To determine whether the carpenter can buy 12  '2 by 8 boards' and 14 '4 by 4 boards'.

Solution :

In order to check whether the carpenter can buy 12  '2 by 8 boards' and 14 '4 by 4 boards' ,  we need to plugin the x=12 and y=14 in the given inequality and see if it satisfies the condition or not or in other words (12,14) must be a solution for the inequality.

Plugging in  x=12 and y=14 in the given inequality

8(12)+12(14)

96+168

264

The above statement can never be true and hence the carpenter will not be able to buy 12  '2 by 8 boards' and 14 '4 by 4 boards'.
