Answer:

200:1, Bryn is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each 10 m is represented by a 5cm length on the diagram. We first note that 100 cm = 1 meter. 5 cm is (0.5 cm)*(1 meter/100 cm) =0.05 meters.

The 0.05 meters on the diagram represents 10 meters on the actual building. The ratio is (10 meters/0.05 meters) or 200:1. This is what Bryn believes is the ratio.

Liliana is making a vase with a circular base. She wants the area of the base to be between 135 cm2 and 155 cm2. Which circle co

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

(b) Circle C is shown. Line segment A C is a radius with length 7 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Minimum\ Area = 135cm^2$

$Maximum\ Area = 155cm^2$

$\pi = 3.14$

Required

Which circle could she use

To do this, we simply calculate the areas of all the given circles

The area of a circle is:

$Area = \pi r^2$

Where

$r = radius$

$a.\ r = 6cm$

The area is calculated as thus:

$Area = \pi r^2$

$Area = 3.14 * (6cm)^2$

$Area = 3.14 * 36cm^2$

$Area = 114.04cm^2$

$b.\ r = 7cm$

The area is calculated as thus:

$Area = \pi r^2$

$Area = 3.14 * (7cm)^2$

$Area = 3.14 * 49cm^2$

$Area = 153.86cm^2$

<em></em>

$c.\ r = 8cm$

The area is calculated as thus:

$Area = \pi r^2$

$Area = 3.14 * (8cm)^2$

$Area = 3.14 * 64cm^2$

$Area = 200.96cm^2$

$d.\ r = 9cm$

The area is calculated as thus:

$Area = \pi r^2$

$Area = 3.14 * (9cm)^2$

$Area = 3.14 * 81cm^2$

$Area = 254.34cm^2$

<em>From the calculations above; only the circle in option (b) has an area within the required range of 135 to 155cm^2</em>

What does h(40) = 1700 mean in terms of the problem?

anzhelika [568]

Essential h(40) is the equivalent of when y=40. Together, when y=40 x=1700, kind of like a coordinate pair (40, 1700).
