Answer:

  √446 ≈ 21.12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest dimension of a rectangular prism is the length of the space diagonal from one corner to the opposite corner through the center of the prism. The Pythagorean theorm tells you the square of its length is the sum of the squares of the dimensions of the prism:

  d² = (15 cm)² +(11 cm)² +(10 cm)² = (225 +121 +100) cm² = 446 cm²

  d = √446 cm ≈ 21.12 cm

The longest line segment that can be drawn in a right rectangular prism is about 21.12 cm.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The square of the face diagonal is the sum of the squares of the dimensions of that face. The square of the space diagonal will be the sum of that square and the square of the remaining prism dimenaion, hence the sum of squares of all three prism dimensions.

Can u solve this for me: 72 + 4x = 2x + 82 and please show work
8_murik_8 [283]
The answer is X = 5 because first you have to take away 2x from that side so u minus 2x from 4x that gives u: 72 + 2x = 82 then you have to minus 72 from both sides and that gives you 2x = 10 once you have that you divide both sides by 2 because you want the X by itself and once you get that X = 5. Hope this helped!

I really need help do can someone do it step by step so I can understand plzzzz​
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

64 × pi m²

Step-by-step explanation:

the formulas needed for the surface area of a cone are :

base area plus the "mantle", the lateral "wall" around it.

the base area is a circle.

so, that formula is Ac = pi×r²

the "wall" formula is Aw = pi×r×s

r = radius

s = slant height = 12

the formula for the surface area of a sphere is

As = 4×pi×r²

we know now, that both surface areas are the same, and also the radius is the same for both objects.

Ac + Aw = As

pi×r² + 12×pi×r = 4×pi×r²

=>

12×pi×r = 3×pi×r²

12×pi = 3×pi×r

12 = 3×r

r = 4 m

now, we only need to use this value of r in our formulas for surface areas, like for the sphere :

4×pi×r² = 4×pi×4² = 4³×pi = 64×pi
