Answer:

  28

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the smaller of the two factors of 896 that have the ratio 8:7.

<h3>Setup</h3>

Let x represent the smaller of the two factors (the one we want to find). Then the larger factor is (8/7)x, and their product is ...

  x(8/7)x = 896

  (8/7)x² = 896

<h3>Solution</h3>

Multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of x², we have ...

  x² = (7/8)(896) = 784

  x = √784 = 28 . . . . . . . . take square root

The smaller of the two numbers is 28.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The larger is (8/7)(28) = 32.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

The amount of paper needed = 363.3 in²

Total amount of paper and plastic needed = 564.3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

As the diagram isn't given.

Consider a right cone shown in the ATTACHMENT.

where

r = 8 in

h = 12 in

First find the value of hypotenuse s by using Pythagoras theorem

<h3>Find Lateral Area:</h3>

The amount of paper needed to cover the candle is lateral area, which is given by:

L=\pi\cdot{r}\cdot{s}\\L =\pi\cdot8\cdot14.422\\L=363.3in^2\\

<h3>Find Surface Area:</h3>

Total amount of paper and plastic is the surface area:

S=L+\pi{r}^2\\S=363.3+\pi(8)^2\\S=564.26in^2

S=564.3in^2
