Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 2 = -12

(Add 2 on both sides)

2x - 2 (+2) = -12 (+2)

(simplify)

2x=-10

(Divide by 2 on both sides)

2x/2 = -10/2

(Simplify)

x = -5

Hope this helps :)

A composite figure is shown.

VikaD [51]

The surface area of the pyramid is 60 square feet

The surface area of the square prism is 480 square feet

The surface area of the cube is 180 square feet

The total surface area is 720 square feet

<h3>Area of Composite figures</h3>

From the question, we are to calculate the surface area of each part of the composite figure

For the cube

Surface area of a cube is given by

$S = 6l^{2}$

Where $l$ is the length of a side

But only have 5 surfaces of the cube are part of the composite figure

∴ Surface area of the cubic part of the figure = $5l^{2}$

From the given information,

$l = 6 \ feet$

∴ Surface area of the cubic part of the figure = 5 × 6²

Surface area of the cubic part of the figure= 180 square feet

For the square prism

The surface area of a square prism is given by the formula,

$S = 2l^{2} + 4lh$

Where $l$ is the length of the sides and

$h$ is the height

But the <u>square surfaces</u> are not part of the surface of the figure

∴ Surface area of the square prism in the figure = $2l^{2} + 4lh - 2l^{2}$

Surface area of the square prism in the figure = $4lh$

From the given information,

$l = 6 \ feet$

$h = 20 \ feet$

Thus,

Surface area of the square prism part of the figure = 4×6×20

Surface area of the square prism part of the figure = 480 square feet

For the pyramid

The pyramid is a square pyramid

The surface area of a square pyramid is given by

$S = l^{2} + 2l\sqrt{\frac{l^{2} }{4}+h ^{2} }$

Where $l$ is the base length

and $h$ is the height of the prism

But the <u>square base</u> is not part of the surface of the figure

∴ Surface area of the pyramid part of the figure = $l^{2} + 2l\sqrt{\frac{l^{2} }{4}+h^{2} }\ - ( l^{2})$

Surface area of the pyramid part of the figure = $2l\sqrt{\frac{l^{2} }{4}+h^{2} }$

From the given information,

$l = 6 \ feet$

$h = 4 \ feet$

∴ Surface area of the pyramid part of the figure = $2(6)\sqrt{\frac{6^{2} }{4}+4^{2} }$

= $12\sqrt{\frac{36 }{4}+16}$

= $12\sqrt{9+16 }$

= $12\sqrt{25}$

= 12 × 5

= 60 square feet

Hence, the surface area of the pyramid is 60 square feet

Thus,

The total surface area = 180 square feet + 480 square feet + 60 square feet

The total surface area = 720 square feet

Hence, the total surface area is 720 square feet

HELP PLEASE!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Nadusha1986 [10]

The equation looks like this $\frac{ x^{2} }{16} + \frac{ y^{2} }{25} =1$ . In an ellipse, a is always the bigger value, so a^2 = 25. This bigger value also tells us which axis is the major one. Sine the bigger value a is under the y^2 of the equation, the major axis is the y-axis. This is a vertical ellipse. The center is always found within a set of parenthesis that exist with the x^2 and the y^2. Since there are no parenthesis with either, there is no side to side movement, nor is there any up or down movement. So the center doesn't move from the origin (0, 0). The vertex is also along the major axis, and if a^2 is 25, then a = 5, so the vertices go up 5 from the center and down 5 from the center. Vertices are (0, 5) and (0, -5). The foci follow the formula $c^{2}= a^{2}- b^{2}$ . c is the distance that the foci are from the center. $c^{2}=25-16$ and c = 3. The foci also lie on the major axis, so the coordinates for the foci are (0, 3) and (0, -3). There you go!
