Find the errors and correct the following mathematical sentences.

The composite figure shown has a surface area of 844 square centimeters.

kolezko [41]

Given the surface area of the composite figure, the height of the rectangular prism is approximately 8 centimeters.

<h3>What is the height of the rectangular prism?</h3>

First we calculate the surface area of the rectangular pyramid;

S.A = lw + (1/2)w√(4h²+l²) + (1/2)l√(4h²+w²)

Given that;

w = 10cm
l = 18cm
h = 12cm

S.A = lw + (1/2)w√(4h²+l²) + (1/2)l√(4h²+w²)

S.A = (18cm×10cm) + (1/2)10cm√(4(12cm)²+18cm²) + (1/2)18cm√(4(12cm)²+(10cm)²)

S.A = (180cm²) + 5cm√(576cm² + 324cm²) + 9cm√(576² + 100cm²)

S.A = (180cm²) + 5cm(30cm) + 9cm(26cm)

S.A = 180cm² + 150cm² + 234cm²

S.A = 564cm²

Now, surface Area of the rectangular prism will be;

= Area of composite figure - surface area of the rectangular pyramid

= 1844cm² - 564cm²

= 1280cm²

Now surface area of rectangular prism is expressed as;

SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2hw

w = 10cm
l = 18cm
h = x

SA=2lw + 2lh + 2hw

SA - 2lw = h( 2l + 2w)

h = (SA - 2lw) / ( 2l + 2w)

h = (1280cm² - ( 2×18cm×10cm)) / ( 2×18cm + 2×10cm)

h = (1280cm² - 360cm²) / ( 36cm + 20cm)

h = 1020cm² / 56cm

h = 8cm

Given the surface area of the composite figure, the height of the rectangular prism is approximately 8 centimeters.

A coin is tossed, and a standard number cube is rolled. What is the probability that the coin shows heads and the number cube sh

Ainat [17]

So,

Since this is independent probability, the probability of the event above occurring is:
$(probability\ of\ heads)(probability\ of\ even\ no.)$

First, the probability of landing on heads.
$\frac{1}{2}$

Now, the probability of rolling an even number.
<u /> $\frac{3}{6}\ or\ \frac{1}{2}$

Plug it into the equation.
$\frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}$

The correct option is C.

Answer:

Option B. A = (5/6)^-⅛

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained:

(5/6)ˣ = A¯⁸ˣ

We can obtain the value of A as follow:

(5/6)ˣ = A¯⁸ˣ

Cancel x from both side

5/6 = A¯⁸

Recall:

M¯ⁿ = 1/Mⁿ

A¯⁸ = 1/A⁸

Thus,

5/6 = 1/A⁸

Cross multiply

5 × A⁸ = 6

Divide both side by 5

A⁸ = 6/5

Take the 8th root of both sides

A = ⁸√(6/5)

Recall

ⁿ√M = M^1/n

Thus,

⁸√(6/5) = (6/5)^⅛

Therefore,

A = (6/5)^⅛

Recall:

(A/B)ⁿ = (B/A)¯ⁿ

(6/5)^⅛ = (5/6)^-⅛

Therefore,

A = (5/6)^-⅛
