Answer:

cost of one cupcake = $2.75

cost of one brownie = $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = number of cupcakes

Let b = number of brownies

Equation 1:  5c + 2b = 16.25

Equation 2:  7c + 6b = 26.75

Multiply equation 1 by 3:

⇒ 15c + 6b = 48.75

Now subtract equation 2 from this equation to eliminate 6b:

⇒ 8c = 22

Divide both sides by 8:

⇒ c = 2.75

Substitute c = 2.75 into one of the original equations and solve for b:

⇒ 5(2.75) + 2b = 16.25

⇒ 13.75 + 2b = 16.25

⇒ 2b = 2.5

⇒ b = 1.25

Therefore, cost of one cupcake = $2.75 and cost of one brownie = $1.25

Colton has a stone paperweight composed of a triangular pyramid on top of a triangular prism with the dimensions shown below. Us
Eva8 [605]

The area of the base would be found using the area of a triangle formula which is 1/2 x base x height.

The base and height are the two sides perpendicular to each other, which are both 5 inches.

The area of the base = 1/2 x 5 x 5 = 12.5 square inches.

The volume of the triangular prism is the area of the base times the height, which is 4 inches.

Volume of the triangular prism is 12.5 x 4 = 50 cubic inches.

Volume of the triangular prism is 1/3 x area of base x height, which is 7:

Volume of the triangular prism = 1/3 x 12.5 x 7 = 29.17 cubic inches.

Total volume = 29.17 + 50 = 79.17 cubic inches.

A triangular prism is shown below. the base of the prism is a right triangle.
Nimfa-mama [501]
The product is 60.

We start out with the information we have.  This forms a right triangle, with one leg being 24, the other leg x, and the hypotenuse 30.  Using the Pythagorean theorem we have

x²+24²=30²
x²+576=900

Subtract 576 from both sides:
x²+576-576 = 900-576
x²=324

Take the square root of each side:
√x²=√324
x=18

We know that the formula for the volume of a triangular prism is V=(1/2bh)H, where b is the base of the triangle, h is the height of the triangle, and H is the height of the prism. Substituting our known information we have:

720=(1/2*18*24)y
720=216y

Divide both sides by 216:
720/216 = 216y/216
3 1/3 = y

This means the product of x and y would be:
18(3 1/3)
18(10/3)
180/3
