what is the surface area of a rectangular prism that has a height of 5cm a width of 10cm and a depth of 4cm

Kamila [148]

2(5*10)+2(10*4)+2(5*4)=

2(50)+2(40)+2(20)=100+80+40=

220 cm^2

I found the answer by finding the areas of the 3 different sides, multiplying each area by 2 since each side has another side that is equal on a rectangular prism, then adding all of them together.

Given independent events A and B such that P(A) = 0.3 and P (B) = 0.5, which of the following is a correct statement?

aev [14]

Answer:

(D) P(AUB) = 0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Since A and B are independent:

P(A ^ B)

= P(A) × P(B)

= 0.3 × 0.5 = 0.15

P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A^B)

= 0.3 + 0.5 - 0.15

= 0.65

Solve the proportional<br> equation below:<br> x/4 = x-6/3

aleksandrvk [35]

<h2><u>PROPORTIONAL EQUATION</u></h2><h3>Exercise</h3>

Apply the means-extremes property of proportions: this allows you to cross multiply:

$\boxed{\mathsf{\dfrac{x}{4} = \dfrac{x - 6}{3}}}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{x}{4} \searrow \dfrac{x - 6}{3}}$ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎‎ $\mathsf{\dfrac{x}{4} \nearrow \dfrac{x-6}{3}}$ ‏‏‎‎

$\boxed{\mathsf{3x = 4(x - 6)}}$

Apply the distributive property:

$\mathsf{3x = 4(x-6)}$

$\mathsf{3x = 4(x) - 4(6)}$

$\mathsf{3x = 4x - 24}$

Add 24 to both sides:

$\mathsf{3x + 24 = 4x - 24 + 24}$

$\mathsf{3x + 24 = 4x}$

Substract 3x to both sides

$\mathsf{3x - 3x + 24 = 4x - 3x}$

$\mathsf{24 = 4x - 3x}$

$\large{\boxed{\mathsf{24 = x}}}$

‎ ‏‏‎

<h3><u>Answer</u>. The value of x = 24.</h3>
