To create a giant gemstone, sara first made two identical square pyramids that each had a base area of 100 square inches. Then she glued the pyramids' bases together to form the gemstone. The surface area of the gemstone is 520 square inches. What is the value of x? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement we have that they first made two identical square pyramids, each with a base area of 100 square inches.

Ab = s ^ 2 = 100

Therefore each side would be:

s = (100) ^ (1/2)

s = 10

So, side of the square base = 10 inches

Then they tell us that they glued the bases of the pyramids together to form the precious stone. The surface area of the gemstone is 520 square inches, so for a single pyramid it would be:

Ap = 520/2 = 260

For an area of the square pyramid we have the following equation:

Ap = 2 * x * s + s ^ 2

Where x is the height of each triangular surface and s is the side of the square base

Replacing we have:

260 = 2 * x * 10 + 10 ^ 2

20 * x + 100 = 260

20 * x = 160

x = 160/20

x = 8

Therefore, the value of x is 8 inches.

Answers

Answer:

√3 * 5 = 5√3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

→ ABCDEFGH is a cube.

→ CF = Diagonal of cube.

→ CH = Diagonal of Base Face BCDH.

→ Let the side of Each cube = a.

Than,

in Right ∆CFH, By Pythagoras Theoram, we have,

→ CH² + FH² = CF² --------- Equation (1)

and, Similarly, in Right ∆CDH ,

→ CD² + DH² = CH² ------- Equation (2).

Putting Value of Equation (2) in Equation (1), we get,

→ (CD² + DH²) + FH² = CF²

→ a² + a² + a² = CF²

→ CF² = 3a²

→ CF = √3a .

Hence, we can say That Diagonal of a cube is √3 times of its sides.

can you plz help me??? Gwen wants to create a congruent shape to the one she made. Her regular pentagon has a perimeter of 24.2 cm. What is going to be the length of the sides in the shape that she creates? A. 4.84 cm B. 5.84 cm C. 9.68 cm D. 121 cm

Answers

Answer:

The answer is A) 4.84 cm :P

Step-by-step explanation:

Gwen wants to create a congruent shape, so, all the sides have to be the same size. And if its a pentagon like in your situation , a pentagon has 5 sides so you have to divide 24.2 cm because it's your regular pentagon by 5 (sides) (24.2 cm ÷ 5 sides = 4.84 cm )

Answers

Answer:

7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a right triangle is given by

A = 1/2 bh

21 = 1/2 y* 6

21 = 3y

Divide each side by 3

21/3 = 3y/3

7 = y

The base is 7 cm

Area formula: A = bh/2

We have a height of 6, a base of y, and a area of 21.

Fill in and solve:

21 = y * 6 / 2

21 = 6y/2

21 = 3y

7 = y

Therefore, the base is 7

1. Which of the following equations has a solution of x = -5? Equation A------> 16x-7=11x-32 Equation B------> -4x- 10=2x+20 a. Equation A b. Equation B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor B

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation A

16x - 7 = 11x - 32

(16x - 7) - 11x = (11x - 32) -11x

5x - 7 = -32

(5x - 7) + 7 = (-32) + 7

5x = -25

(5x)/5 = (-25)/5

x = -5

Equation B

-4x - 10 = 2x + 20

(-4x - 10) - 2x = (2x + 20) - 2x

-6x - 10 = 20

(-6x - 10) + 10 = (20) + 10

-6x = 30

(-6x)/-6 = (30)/-6

x = -5

Both Equation A and Equation B have a solution of -5.

The radius of the circle shown below is 17 yards. What is the length
of the 300 degree arc?
Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
17 yd
300°

Answers

Answer:

The length of the arc is 89 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, to find the length of an arc, we use the formula below;

Length of an arc = Theta/360 * 2 * pi * r

In this case, Theta = 300 and r = 17 yards

Length of the arc = 300/360 * 2 * 22/7 * 17 = 89.047619047583 which is 89 yards to the nearest yard

In 1000 sq. meter of land a farmer cultivated 765 kg of rice with the wastage of 23.5%.I) Find the weight of the wastage. II) Find the weight and percentage of rice cultivated.

Answers

Answer:

i. weight of wastage(kg) = 179.775 kg

ii. weight of rice cultivated = 765 kg - 179. 775 kg = 585.225 kg

percentage of rice cultivated = 100 - 23.5 = 76.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

A land of 1000 sq. meter  is used to cultivate 765 kg of rice with wastage of 23.5%.

i. The wastage in percentage is 23.5% but the weight of the wastage in weight is  23.5% of 765 kg

weight of wastage = 23.5/100 × 765

weight of wastage = 17977.5/100

weight of wastage(kg) = 179.775 kg

ii. weight and percentage of rice cultivated.

weight of rice cultivated = 765 kg - 179. 775 kg = 585.225 kg

percentage of rice cultivated = 100 - 23.5 = 76.5%

The total area of the shape is 792 cm²

let's find the area of the four parallelograms

To do that we should calculate the area of the rhombus inside and then substract it from the total area

The area of a rhombus is given by the formula:

A = [tex]\frac{d*d'}{2}[/tex]       where d and d' are the diameters

Let A be the area of the shape , A' the area of the rhombus and A" the area of the four parallelograms

A"= A - A' A" = A -[tex]\frac{d*d'}{2}[/tex] A" = 792- [tex]\frac{18*7}{2}[/tex]  A" = 729 cm²

Let a be the area of the single parallelogram

a = A"/4             since the parallelograms are congruent a = 729/4 a = 182.25 cm²

the area of a parallelogram is fiven by the formula :

A = b*h b is the base (here y/2) and h the height (here 18/9)

let's find y

a = [tex]\frac{y}{2}[/tex] * 9182.25*2 =  y*9 364.5 = y*9 y = 364.5/9 y = 40.5

Marcie can mow 9 lawns every 14 hours. How many lawns can she mow in 49 hours?​

Answers

Answer:

Number of lawns mow in 49 hours = 31.5 lawns

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of lawns mow = 9

Time taken = 14 hours

Find:

Number of lawns mow in 49 hours

Computation:

Time taken for 1 lawn = 14 / 9

Number of lawns mow in 49 hours = 49 / Time taken for 1 lawn

Number of lawns mow in 49 hours = 49 / (14/9)

Number of lawns mow in 49 hours = 31.5 lawns

Find the cost per ounce of a gold alloy made from 10 oz of pure gold that costs $1288 per ounce and 55 oz of an alloy that costs $900 per ounce. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

Answers

Answer:

$959.69 per oz

Step-by-step explanation:

A gold alloy is produced from pure gold and alloy.

10 oz of pure gold costs $1,288 per ounce

55 oz of alloy costs $900 per ounce

The first step is to add the cost of both the pure gold and alloy together

= (10 oz × $1288)+(55 oz × $900)

= $12,880+$49,500

= $62,380

Therefore the cost per ounce can be calculated as follows

= $62,380/10 oz + 55 oz

= $62,380/65 oz

= $959.69 per oz.

Hence the cost per ounce of the gold alloy is $959.69 per ounce

Answer:

y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

3/2y - 3/2 = y + 5

Step 2: Subtract y on both sides

1/2y - 3/2 = 5

Step 3: add 3/2 on both sides

1/2y = 13/2

Step 4: Divide both sides by 1/2

y = 13

Answer:

y = 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

3/2(y-1) = y+5

3/2y - 3/2 = y + 5

3/2y - y = 5 + 3/2

1/2y = 6 and 1/2; 6.5; 13/2

y = 13.

To check out work...

3/2(13 - 1) = 13 + 5

3/2(12) = 18

3 * 6 = 18

18 = 18

On a number line, all you need to do is plot a point where it says 13. On a cartesian plane, you would have a horizontal line that expands infinitely in each direction, where y = 13.

Answers

Replace f with 190, replace P with 4148 and solve for  s:

4148 = 1.85s + 4.2(190)

Subtract 798 from both sides:
