Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Here, </h3><h3>h = 20cm</h3><h3 /><h3>By question, </h3><h3>p + b = 28cm</h3><h3>or, p = 28 - b</h3><h3 /><h3>Using pythagoras theorem, </h3>

<h3>h^2 =p^2 + b^2</h3><h3>20^2 = (28-b) ^2 + b^2</h3><h3>400 = 28^2 -2x28xb + b^2 + b^2</h3><h3>56b = 784 - 400 + 2 b^2</h3><h3>0 = 2b^2 - 56b + 384 </h3><h3>0 = 2 ( b^2 - 28b + 192)</h3><h3>0 = b^2 - (16 + 12) b + 192</h3><h3>0 = b^2 - 16b - 12b + 192</h3><h3>0 = b (b - 16) - 12 (b - 16)</h3><h3>0 = (b - 16) (b - 12)</h3><h3>Either, </h3><h3>b= 16</h3><h3>Or,</h3><h3>b = 12</h3>

<h3>When b = 16,</h3><h3>p = 28 - 16 </h3><h3> = 12</h3><h3>When b = 12,</h3><h3>p = 28 - 12</h3><h3> = 16</h3>

Pleasee help !!! finding equation of the image
Lisa [10]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write the final formula for the equation after performing the given transformations

Reflection on the y-axis means the x-axis value will change sign

that will give:

y = -x^1/3

Transition of 3 units in the positive x axis

mathematically, we are adding 3 to x

so we have

y = -(x+3)^1/3

4 units in the negative y direction means we are subtracting 4 from the whole equation

That means;

y = -(x + 3)^1/3 - 4

This shows that the first option is right

Suppose the base of the prism was a rectangle of sides I and w. Type a formula for the volume of the prism using i, w and h
tester [92]

Answer: V = l  w  h

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism.

Volume of a rectangular prism (V) = Length x Width x Height

Replacing with the values given:

V = l w h

All values are multiplied (didn’t use x as a multiplication symbol to avoid confusion)  

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
