Let's set these two numbers as 'a' and 'b'

Now, let's set up equations based on the information known:

  • the sum of the two numbers is 52 --> a + b = 52
  • the difference is 28 --> a - b =28

Equations

  • a + b = 52 -- equation 1
  • a - b = 28 -- equation 2

Solve:

  (Equation 1) + (Equation 2)

  2a = 80

     a = 40 -- equation 3

  (Equation 3)

     40 + b = 52

       b = 12

So a  = 40 and b = 12

Hope that helps!

A computer moniter is solid by the diagonal length of the screen a computer monitor has a 15 inch screen the screen has a width
n200080 [17]
For this problem, you would use the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

A and B are the length and width of the triangle. The triangle is created by the diagonal line splitting the computer screen. C is the hypotenuse, which is the diagonal line, and will always be the longest side of the triangle. 

When we plug in the numbers into the formula, we would get this:

13^2 + b^2 = 15^2

B is the unknown variable in which we are trying to find.
First, you square 13 and 15:

169 + b^2 = 225

Then, subtract 169 from both sides:

b^2 = 56

Finally, find the square root of both sides:

b = 7.483314774

Simplify to the nearest tenth, and the answer is 7.5<span />

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the perimeter of the base is 16.9\text{ cm}16.9 cm and the height of the
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Volume of square based pyramid = 116.62 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of square base = 16.9 cm

Height of pyramid = 19.6 cm

Find:

Volume of square based pyramid

Computation:

Perimeter of square base = 16.9 cm

4[Side] = 16.9

Side = 4.225 cm

Area of square = Side x Side

Area of square = 4.225 x 4.225

Area of square = 17.85 cm²

Volume of square based pyramid = [Area of square][Height of pyramid] / 3

Volume of square based pyramid = [17.85][19.6] / 3

Volume of square based pyramid = 349.86 /3

Volume of square based pyramid = 116.62 cm³
