Answer:

\frac{b}{a} = - \frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{a+2b}{a-b} = \frac{2}{3} ( cross- multiply )

2(a - b) = 3(a + 2b) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )

2a - 2b = 3a + 6b ( subtract 3a from both sides )

- a - 2b = 6b ( add 2b to both sides )

- a = 8b ( divide both sides by 8 )

- \frac{1}{8} a = b ( divide both sides by a )

- \frac{1}{8} = \frac{b}{a}

Answer:

-1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

a+2b=2

a-b=3

Solve Simultaneous equations by Formula 1 - Formula 2

2b - (-b) = 2-3

3b = -1

b= -1/3

b= -1/3

so: a - (-1/3) = 3

a = 8/3

b/a=

(8/3) / (-1/3)

= (8/3) * (3/-1)

simplify

=-1/8

Find surface area of rectangular prism
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

806 yd sq.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area=(length)(width), so to find the surface area you can just find the area of each side and then add then all together.

They already gave you the length of some of the sides, so you should use that to help you find the length of all the sides.

You can see the entire prism's length is 17 yd, width is 4 yd, and height is 14 yd.

The large visible side's area would be (14)(17)= 283 yd. There's another one of these side's on the other side that we can't see. So we would do (283)(2) = 566 yd sq.

Next, we'll find the area of the side on the side by doing (14)(4)=56. Once again, there's two of these sides so we do (56)(2) to get 112 yd sq for this side.

Finally, we'll find the area of the top side. We can do (4)(17) =68, and then (68)(2) to get 138 yd sq.

Now, we have the area of each side of the prism! To find the total surface area, just add them all together. 556+112+138=806.

The surface area would be 806 yd sq.
