Mathematics
1 answer:
nadezda [96]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 12, y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{AD}{PS} = \frac{DC}{SR} , substitute values

\frac{20}{2x+6} = \frac{18}{27} ( cross- multiply )

18(2x + 6) = 540 ( divide both sides by 18 )

2x + 6 = 30 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

2x = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 12

-------------------------------------------

and

\frac{AB}{PQ} = \frac{DC}{SR} , substitute values

\frac{y}{24} = \frac{18}{27} ( cross- multiply )

27y = 432 ( divide both sides by 27 )

y = 16

A cylinder has a height that is 2 times as large as its radius. The lateral area of the cylinder is 16π square units. What is th
Juliette [100K]
The length of the radius of the cylinder is 2 units.

The lateral surface area of a cylinder = <span>2πrh</span>
where, r = base radius
            h = height of cylinder
Now, height of cylinder = 2r units
          
⇒ 16 π =  2×π×r×<span>h
</span>⇒ 16 π =  2×π×r×2r
⇒  r^{2} = 4
⇒ r = 2 units
Thus, radius is 2 units.
