Achocolate manufacturer packages chocolate bars in cardboard prisms whose bases are equilateral triangles. each base measures 3 cm on a side. if the container is 18 cm long, how many cubic centimeters of chocolate will it hold?

The container will hold 70.14 cubic cm of chocolate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the prisms are equilateral triangles.

Each base measures 3 cm on a side.

The length of the container = 18 cm

Area of the equilateral triangle is given by :

a = 3 so area = = 3.897 cm square

And volume will be cubic cm.

So, the container will hold 70.14 cubic cm of chocolate.

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

collect results in alphabetical order:

answer:   {x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

6x = 48

i hope this . 6 cards each and a total of $48. dvide each side by 6 and you will have your answer.
