Answer is B: 150
write two equations
r+s=190
4r+3s=720
solve by substitution
the get r=150 s=40
When looking at a rectangular prism, we know that Volume = length * width * height
If we are given that the volume of the prism is 280 cubic meters (m^3), the length is 8 meters, and the width is 7 meters, we can fill in our equation.
280 = 8 * 7 * height
280 = 56 * height
Because we are solving for the height, we divide both sides by 56
280/56 = height
height = 5 meters
Okay well, if you make a graph, Point A (7,0) and Point B (4,6) are in the top right quadrant. and Point C (1,1) and Point D (5,3) are in the top left, top right, and bottom left quadrant (I'll link a photo of the graph.)
so the lines intersect and make it perpendicular
The top later is 5 because if the ladder is 10 inches half is 5 and the other half is 5
