Why kilogram is more appropriate unit than milligram?

Step-by-step explanation:

that question is fundamentally wrong.

"appropriate" completely depends on the situation and circumstances.

if we are dealing with a weight that a human can feel, lift and distinguish from other weights without any special tool, then we are usually using kg. because then we humans can "connect" with the case, and deal with every day numbers.

if we are dealing with tiny little quantities like dosages of substances in a pill or other medication, then milligram is more than "appropriate".

because then, as humans, we are still dealing with numbers we can understand. like tens or hundreds.

if we kept kg in such situations, we would have to deal with numbers like 0.000008 kg vs. 0.000021 kg, where we could not see the magnitude of difference right away.

Step-by-step explanation:

The art museum charges a one-time fee of $8.25 plus $2.25 per month.

So, the cost function for membership for x months in the art museum f(x) = 8.25 + 2.25x .............. (1)

Again, the science museum charges a one-time fee of $10.75 plus $3.5 per month.

Hence, the cost function for membership for x months in the science museum g(x) = 10.75 + 3.5x ........... (2)

So, from both the equations it is clear that for only joining the monthly charges are zero.

So, f(0) = 8.25 and g(0) = 10.75.

Therefore, Barrett will save by joining the art museum instead of the science museum by $(10.75 - 8.25) = $2.5. (Answer)

Find the surface are of the cylinder in terms of pi

Andrej [43]

Hello!

To find the surface area of a cylinder you use the equation

$SA = 2 \pi rh + 2 \pi r^{2}$

SA is surface area
r is radius
h is height

PUt in the values you know

$SA = 2 \pi (7)(18) + 2 \pi * 7^{2}$

Square the number

$SA = 2 \pi (7)(18) + 2 \pi * 49$

Multiply 7 and 18

$SA = 2 \pi * 126 + 2 \pi * 49$

Multiply 126 by 2

$SA = 252 \pi + 2 \pi * 49$

Multiply the 49 by 2

$SA = 252 \pi + 98 \pi$

Add

$SA = 350 \pi$

The answer is $A)350 \pi cm^{2}$

Hope this helps!
