Answer:

10.44

Step-by-step explanation:

First plot each of the points on to a graph at their respective positions.

Following that create a 90° triangle out of the points. This will create a 3 by 10 triangle. (3 to 0 is 3) (-8 to 2 is a difference of 10)

You can then use the pythagorean theorem $a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}$ .

Insert the lengths of each of the sides that we got earlier which would be 3 and 10 into the equation. $3^{2} + 10^{2} = c^{2}$

Since we want to find the hypotenuse which is equal to c we work the equation to 9+100 = $c^{2}$ which in turn is 109 = $c^{2}$

Then take the square root of 109 to remove the square from the c to get c = 10.44

a cone and a sphere have the same volume. the height of the cone is 96 units. what would be the values for the radius of the con

jolli1 [7]

The volume $V_c$ of a cone with base radius $r_c$ and height $h_c$ is

$V_c = \dfrac{1}{3}\pi r_c^2 h_c$

Similarly, the volume $V_s$ of a sphere with radius $r_s$ is

$V_s = \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r_s^3$

We know that $V_c=V_s$ and that $h_c=96$

So, we can set up the following equation:

$\dfrac{96}{3}\pi r_c^2=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r_s^3$

We can simplify the common denominator 3, and pi appearing on both sides:

$96r_c^2=4r_s^3$

We can divide both sides by 4:

$24r_c^2=r_s^3$

Without further information, this is all we can say: the cubed radius of the sphere is the same as 24 times the squared radius of the cone.

A basketball team has 8 players. In how many different ways can the coach select 2 players to be the captains for tonight's game

Basile [38]

Since the problem is not concerned about the order of choosing the captain, the concept used is the combination. From 8 players, 2 are to be chosen,
8C2
The numerical value of the combination is 28. Thus, the answer is letter B.

What is the average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 4?

hammer [34]

1) find the corresponding y values for when x = 0 and when x = 4,
when x = 0, y = 4
when x = 4, y = 4

the coordinates are (0,4) and (4,4)

2) to calculate the average rate of change, find the slope of the two points:

(0,4) (4,4)

(change in y) 4 - 4 = 0
(change in x) 4 - 0 = 4

0/4 = 0

the average rate of change is 0!
