In what situation might you have to calculate the surface area of volume of a solid?

Mathematics

Digiron [165]3 years ago

One application of volume is determining the density of an object. Assume the object is made of a pure element (eg: gold). If we know the volume (v) of the object, and we know the mass (m), then we can use the formula D = m/v to figure out the density D. Knowing the volume is also handy to determine if the object can fit into a larger space or not. Another application is figuring out how much water is needed to fill up the inner space of the 3D solid (assuming it's hollow on the inside).

The surface area is handy to figure out how much material is needed to cover the outer surface. This material can be paint, paper, metal sheets, or whatever you can think of really. A good example is wrapping a present and the assumption is that there is no overlap.

What single decimal multiplier would you use to increase by 9% followed by 3% decrease
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

= 94

Step-by-step explanation:

To work out the multiplier, first add or subtract the percentage from 100, then convert to a decimal. Example: we want to add 20% to £110. To work out the multiplier, add 20 to 100, to get 120, and then change it to a decimal (divide by 100) to get 1.2. The answer is £110 x 1.2 = £132.

so to workout an increase of 9% followed by 3% we would do:

9% - 3% = 6%. convert = 0.06 = 100-6 = 94 converted into 0.94 x 100 = 94

What is a system of equations for the following situation? There is a total of 40 questions on a test. Some questions are multip
Elden [556K]

First we define the variables:

m = multiple choice questions

s = short answer questions

Next we need to satisfy 2 conditions:

1) There are a total of 40 questions. We can represent this mathematically using the variables I defined:

m+s=40

2) The multiple-choice questions are worth 2 points and the short-answer are worth 4 points but they need to total 100 points. This can also be represented mathematically:

2m+4s=100

By satisfying the conditions provided we were able to create the 2 equations!

m+s=40

2m+4s=100

Hey can you please help me posted picture of question
kakasveta [241]
We have the following equation:
 3x2 + 7x + 4 = 0
 Using the resolver we have:
 x = (- b +/- root (b2 - 4ac)) / 2a
 Substituting values we have:
 x = (- (7) +/- root ((7) 2 - 4 (3) (4))) / 2 (3)
 Rewriting:
 x = (- 7 +/- root (49 - 48)) / 6
 x = (- 7 +/- root (1)) / 6
 x = (- 7 +/- 1) / 6
 The results are:
 x = (- 7 + 1) / 6 = -6/6 = -1
 x = (- 7 - 1) / 6 = -8 / 6 = -4/3
 Answer:
 
x = -1
 
x = -4/3

Choose the Algebraic equation that matches the table
juin [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write the equation, you need to identify the slope and y-intercept.

1) the y intercept is what y is when x=0. According to the table, it is -2.

2) the slope is the change in the y values over the change in the x values.  Notice that the y values are increasing by one for every increase in 1 in the x values, so the slope is 1/1 or 1.

3) we can then put those values into slope-intercept form which is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the intercept.

4) so the equation is y=(1)x-2 or y=x-2  (they are the same)

Use the quadratic formula to answer the question below.
ra1l [238]

Answer:

x = -2.32, 10.32 to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 8x - 24 = 0

x = [ - (-8) +/- sqrt (((-8)^2 - 4*1*(-24)] / 2

= 4 +/- sqrt160/2

= 4 +/- 6.3245

=  -2.32, 10.32.
