The base of a prism has n sides. Find the numbers of faces, edges, and
vertices of the prism. Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer 1

Answers:

faces = n+2edges = 3nvertices = 2n

===========================================================

Explanation:

Think of a hexagonal room with n = 6 walls, i.e. the floor is a hexagon with n = 6 sides. The floor and ceiling are parallel to each other, and congruent hexagons. That's 2 faces so far. Then we have another 6 faces to account for the walls. This gives 2+6 = 8 faces of a hexagonal prism.

In more general terms, a prism with a base of n sides will have 2 parallel and congruent base faces, and n walls or lateral faces. This gives n+2 total faces.

------------------------

Let's go back to the hexagonal prism. The floor has 6 sides to it, and so does the ceiling. We have 6+6 = 12 edges so far. Then we have another 6 edges where each of the rectangular walls meet up. That gives 12+6 = 18 edges total of this hexagonal prism room.

For any more general case, each base has n sides. That gives 2n sides so far for just the bases. Then add on another n for the lateral edges and we get 3n total edges.

--------------------------

Once again lets revisit the room with the hexagonal floor and ceiling. The floor has 6 vertices and the ceiling has the same vertex count. Therefore, this prism has 6+6 = 12 vertices.

For the general case, each base has n vertices. There are 2 such identical bases giving 2n vertices total.

---------------------------

One way to check the answer:

We could use Euler's Polyhedron Formula which is

F+V-E = 2

where,

F = number of facesV = number of verticesE = number of edges

For the hexagonal prism we found

F = 8V = 12E = 18

Then notice how

F+V-E = 2

8+12-18 = 2

20-18 = 2

2 = 2

This confirms the formula works for a hexagonal prism.

Now let's check it for the more general case

We found earlier that,

F = n+2V = 2nE = 3n

So,

F+V-E = 2

n+2+2n-3n = 2

3n-3n+2 = 2

0n+2 = 2

0+2 = 2

2 = 2

This helps confirm the answer for any prism with the base of n sides.

write y=x^2-6x+17 in vertex form. step by step

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the general vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

with (h, k) being the vertex.

after doing all the multiplications we get

y = a(x² - 2hx + h²) + k = ax² - 2ahx + ah² + k

our original equation is

y = x² - 6x + 17

and now we simply compare the cording parts :

ax² = x²

a = 1

-2ahx = -2hx = -6x

-2h = -6

h = -6/-2 = 3

ah² + k = 17

3² + k = 17

9 + k = 17

k = 8

so the vertex form is

y = (x - 3)² + 8

Dan had $34 to spend at the fair if the admission to the fair is $10 and the rides cost $1.50 each, what is the greatest number of rides dan can go on. write an inequality that represents dan's situation

Answers

Answer:

Equation: 1.50x + 10 [tex]\leq[/tex] 34

Amount of rides Dan can go on: 16 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent this situation using this equation:

1.50x + 10 [tex]\leq[/tex] 34

The $10 Dan has to pay as admission is the fixed number because it doesn't vary and always remains the same, so no x goes next to 10.

Each ride costs $1.50 so this is the variable number as it changes with how many rides Dan goes on, therefore an x will go next to 1.50 to represent the amount of rides Dan goes on.

Lastly, Dan has $34 to spare, so the amount spent has to be less than or equal 34.

Solve the equation for x to find the greatest amount of rides Dan can go on:

1.50x + 10 [tex]\leq[/tex] 34                      Subtract 10 from 34

1.50x [tex]\leq[/tex] 24                             Divide 24 by 1.50

x [tex]\leq[/tex] 16

So, Dan has enough money to go on 16 rides or less.

Let's check this answer:

1.50(16) + 10 [tex]\leq[/tex] 34                   Multiply 1.50 by 16

24 + 10 [tex]\leq[/tex] 34                           Add 24 and 10

The sun came out and the temperature quickly rose 18 degrees. the a thunderstorm hits and the temperature drops 6 degrees. the sun comes back out the temperature raises 12 degrees. the temperature is now 94 degrees. what was the starting temperature?

Answers

By solving a linear equation we will see that the initial temperature was 66 degrees.

What was the initial temperature?

Let's define T as the initial temperature.

First, it increases by 18 F, then it decreases 6 F, and finally, it increases another 12 F, such that the end temperature is 94F.

Then we can write:

T + 18F - 6F + 12F = 94F

Now we can solve that linear equation to find T.

T = 94F - 18F + 6F - 12 F = 66 F

In this way, we conclude that the initial temperature was 66 degrees.

Anne measured the volume of an object and recorded it as 46 cubic cm which
was 15% high from the actual volume. Find the actual volume.

Answers

Answer:

Actual volume = 40 cm^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

15% = 0.15 as a decimal fraction.

Let the actual volume be x cm^3, then we have the equation:

x + 0.15x = 46

1.15x = 46

x   = 46 / 1.15

A pyramid has a height of 8 inches and a volume of 120 cubic inches. Determine 2
possibie shapes, with dimensions, for the base.

Answers

Answer:

1.     9 * 5 in.

2.    3 * 15 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = 1/3 * area of the base * height

120 = 1/3 * A * 8

So A = 120 / (8/3)

= 120 * 3/8

= 45 in^2.

So the dimensions of the base could be 9 * 5 in

or 3 * 15 in.

The possible shapes of the base are a square and a rectangular base.

What is a pyramid?

The volume of a pyramid depends upon the type of pyramid’s base, whether it is a triangle, square or rectangle. A pyramid is a polyhedron figure which has only one base. The base of the pyramid is a poly sided figure.

Given here: A pyramid has a height of 8 inches and a volume of 120 cubic inches. Then we have volume of the pyramid as

120=l×b×8

l×b = 15

The value of x in the given equation [ √( 1 + (25/144) ) = 1 + (x/12) ] is 5.

What is an Equation?

An equation is simply a mathematical formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, using the equals sign as a connection between them.

Given that;

√( 1 + (25/144) ) = 1 + (x/12)Find the value of x.

First, we square both sides

√( 1 + (25/144) ) = 1 + (x/12)

(√( 1 + (25/144) ))² = (1 + (x/12))²

1 + (25/144) = 1 + ( x²/144)

Collect like terms

1 - 1 + (25/144) = ( x²/144)

25/144 = x²/144

We cross multiply

25 × 144 = x² × 144

Multiply each sides by 1/144

x² = 25

x = √25

x = 5

Therefore, the value of x in the given equation [ √( 1 + (25/144) ) = 1 + (x/12) ] is 5.

What is a function?

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

In the graph, a linear equation is represented.

We can find the function of linear equation from the two points:

(-1, 0) and (0, -2)

x/-1  + y/-2  = 1

2x  + y  = -2

y = -2x - 2 ..(1)

From the equation, first take subject as x and find the value of x

2x = -y -2

x = (-y -2)/2

Replacing x→y and y →x

y = (-x -2)/2

The inverse of a function:

y = (-x -2)/2

Points (2, -2) and  (0, -1) lies on the inverse of the function(refer to attached picture)

So, we have:

24² = OA² + 7²
