Consider the linear system below: 2x + 3y = 10 5x - 4y = -7 Transform this linear system into a matrix form using a matrix A and a column vector X, representing the unknowns. Write down the resulting matrix equation and inform what is the dimension of matrix A.

In a renovation, an architect decides to completely cover a right prism with a square base with ceramic tiles that are in the shape of squares. The prism is 3 meters high and the edge of the base measures 2 meters. The tiles are 20 cm on each side. The architect will need to calculate the amount of tiles to cover the entire surface of the prism. How many tiles will be needed to completely cover the prism?

In a large engineering system, a building is being designed and energy efficiency is a major concern. To ensure the efficiency of heating and cooling, the air conditioning system must be sized according to the specific needs of the building. The engineer in charge of the project must solve a system of linear equations to determine the ideal operating temperatures. Let the following be the system of equations that models the thermal behavior of the building: 2x + y + 3z = 10, 4x - 6y + 8z = 5, 3x + 7y + 5z = 18. The engineer must rewrite this system of equations in the matrix form Ax = b, where A is the matrix of coefficients, x is the vector of unknowns, and b is the vector of constant terms.
