Hey there!
The shape being described in letter A is a prism. A prism has two polygonal shapes on either end that can be any shape consisting of three or more sides. This won't be your answer, since cylinders have circular bases on either side.
The shape being described in letter B is a cylinder. Not sure why they needed to throw in the plane part, but this is the only answer that describes the bases as being circular (or, as they put it, discs).
The shape being described in letter C is a pyramid. If a shape has a polygonal base and meets at a point at the other end, it will be a pyramid. Obviously, a pyramid only has one end, meaning that this isn't your answer.
The shape being described in letter D is a cone. Again, if a shape has a base and meets at a point, it will be a pyramid. However, in the case of a cone, the base will be circular and the other side will meet at a point. The entire shape will be rounded where a pyramid would have edges. Again, not your answer.
Your answer will be B. Hope this helped you out! :-)
<h3>Equation : x + y = 170 and y = 2x - 40</h3><h3>The weight of Bill is 70 pounds and weight of mark is 100 pounds</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the weight of Bill be "x"
Let the weight of mark be "y"
Given that,
Mark and Bill have a combined weight of 170 pounds
Therefore,
x + y = 170 ------- eqn 1
Mark weighs 40 pounds less than twice Bill's weight
y = 2x - 40 ------- eqn 2
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>
x + 2x - 40 = 170
3x = 170 + 40
3x = 210
x = 70
<em><u>Substitute x = 70 in eqn 2</u></em>
y = 2(70) - 40
y = 140 - 40
y = 100
Thus weight of Bill is 70 pounds and weight of mark is 100 pounds
Answer:
50 total penguins
Step-by-step explanation:
In the following example x = the total number of penguins.
Set it up as follows.
15 over x = 30 over 100
Cross multiply the numbers. (30 times x) and (15 times 100)
This results in 30x = 1500.
Divide both sides by 30 which results in x = 50.
This means that there is a total of 50 penguins.
In the following example x = the number of Emperor penguins.
If you would like to double check this, set up as follows.
x over 50 = 30 over 100
Cross multiply the numbers. (30 times 50) (100 times x)
This results in 100x = 1500.
Divide both sides by 100 which results in x =1 5.
This means that there are 15 Emperor penguins.
