Answer:
She went on the slide 8 times and on the roller coaster 4 times
Step-by-step explanation:
We convert each statements to a mathematical equation.
Firstly, let's represent the number of times she went on the coaster with R and the number of times on the slide with S. We know quite well she went on 12 rides. Hence the summation of both number of times yield 12.
Mathematically, R + S = 12. ........(i)
Now we also know her total wait time was 3hours. Since an hour equals 60 minutes, her total wait time would equal 180 minutes.
To get a mathematical representation for the wait time, we multiply the number of roller coaster rides by 25 and that of the slides by 10.
Mathematically, 25R + 10S = 180 .......(ii)
Here we now have two equations that we can solve simultaneously.
From equation 1 we can say R = 12 - S. We can then substitute this into equation 2 to yield the following:
25(12 - s) + 10s = 180
300 - 25s + 10s = 180
300 - 25s + 10s = 180
300 - 15s = 180
15s = 300 - 180
15s = 120
S = 120/15
S = 8
S = 8 , and R = 12 - S = 12 - 8 = 4
Given:
Square pyramid with lateral faces.
646 ft wide at the base.
350 ft high.
Because of the term lateral faces, we need to get the lateral area of the square pyramid.
Lateral Area = a √a² + 4 h² ; a = 646 ft ; h = 350 ft
L.A. = 646 ft √(646ft)² + 4 (350ft)²
L.A. = 646 ft √417,316 ft² + 4 (122,500 ft²)
L.A. = 646 ft √417,316 ft² + 490,000 ft²
L.A. = 646 ft √907,316 ft²
L.A. = 646 ft * 952.53 ft
L.A. = 615,334.38 ft²
For me personally, the easiest way to do this is by isolating the x² term, and finding the square root of both sides. The hardest way (well actually, the longest way) would be to use the quadratic formula. It just complicates things unnecessarily.
