Why do we use cubic units and not square units to find the the volume of solid figures ?

Mathematics

It has to do with the number of dimensions you have in the figure. For example, in a square you have 2 dimensions, length and width. Since you have only two you use units^2. In a cube, you have 3 dimensions, length, width and height, which is where you get the units^3.

For what value of p will the pair of linear equations have infinitely many solutions (p-3)x + 3y = p , px+ py = 12
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer: p = 6


Step-by-step explanation:

HI !


 px + 3y - ( p-3)=0


a₁ = p , b₁ = 3 , c₁ = - (p-3)


=====================


12x + py - p=0


a₂ = 12  , b₂ = p , c₂ = -p


since , the equations have infinite solutions , 


a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ = c₁/c₂


p/12 = 3/p =  p-3/p



--------------------------------------


p/12 = 3/p


cross multiply ,


p² = 36


p = √36

 p = 6


for the value of p = 6 , the equations will have infinitely many solutions

Someone please help me make a proof for the bottom question
Lerok [7]

Answer:

DB = CA (Proved)

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement 1.

∠D = ∠C, M is the midpoint of DC and ∠1 = ∠2

Reason 1.  

Given

Statement 2.

Between Δ DBM and Δ CAM,  

(i) DM = CM,

(ii) ∠D = ∠C  and  

(iii) ∠DMB = ∠CMA

Reason 2.

(i) given  

(ii) given and  

(iii) ∠ DMB = ∠1 + ∠AMB and  ∠CMA = ∠2 + ∠AMB

Since ∠1 = ∠2, so, ∠DMB = ∠CMA.

Statement 3.

Δ DBM ≅ Δ CAM

Reason 3.

By angle-side-angle rule.

Statement 4.

DB = CA

Reason 4.

Corresponding sides of two congruent triangles. (Answer)
