Given that Roger is building a storage shed with wood blocks that are in the shape of cubic prisms.
cube is basicallye a box which is made of squares. That is all the sides (lenght, width and height) are equal.
Now we have to determine, Can he build a shed that is twice as high as it is wide.
that means if width is 1 then height should be twice which is 2.
yes that is possible if we put one cubical prism over another cubical prism. then height of shed due to two prism will be twice than the width.
Hence correct choice should be "A. Yes. For every block of width, he could build two blocks high."
Answer:
Quite simple. There are 52 weeks in a year. She gets paid 26 times, every other week.
38,350 / 26 = her salary from last year per check.
46,462 / 26 = her new salary per check
(46,462 - 38,350) / 26 = the difference per week
1.) y=3
2.) y=13
2y + y = 3y , 22+17= 39
3y = 39 , divide 3 on each side (which cancels out the 3 with the y which leaves you with y)
3.) y=10
3y - y = 2y , 35-15= 20
2y=20 , do the same as # 2.
4.) y=4
9y - 5y = 4y , 48-32= 16
4y=16, do the same as #2 & #3
5.) (4,5)
x + 3y = 19
2x - 3y = -7
solve for x first ; x + 2x= 3x , 19-7 = 12; 3x = 12 ; divide 3 ; x= 4. You know have to make the x's cancel out. so I will multiply -2 on the first equation. -2(x+3y=19)
-2x - 6y = -38
2x - 3y = -7
Now solve for y ; -6y + -3y = -9y , -38 + -7 = -45; -9y=-45 ; divide by -9 (since they are both negative your answer will be positive) ; y= 5
6.) (6,8)
x + 4y = 38
-x - 3y = -30
solve for y first ; 4y - 3y = y , 38-30 = 8; y=8 (that simple!) Now you need to find a common multiple for 4 & 3 which is 12. So you will have to multiply each equation by either 4 or 3.
(x + 4y = 38)*3 = 3x + 12y = 114
(-x - 3y = -30)*4 = -4x - 12y = -120
solve for x ; 3x - 4x = -x , 114-120= -6 ; -x=-6. Since the x has a negative that means there's still a 1 there so -1x=-6 ; you will need to divide this which makes the 6 a positive; x=6
The picture in the attached figure
we know that
In similar triangles. The ratio of the lengths of the sides CS and CB must be equal to the ratio of the lengths of sides CR and CA. CS / CB = CR / CA
which can also be written as,
CS / (CS + SB) = CR / (CR + RA)
CS*(CR+RA)=CR*(CS+RA)
CS=2x+1
SB=6x
CR=7.5
RA=18
(2x+1)*[7.5+18]=7.5*[2x+1+18]
(2x+1)*[25.5]=7.5*[2x+19]
(51x+25.5)=15x+142.5
51x-15x=142.5-25.5
36x=117
x=117/36
x=3.25
the answer is x=3.25
