1.  Yes, the are similar because if you set up a proportion for the sides of the triangles and cross-multiply, the values are the same: 40/48 = 30/36 If you cross-multiply you get 1,440 both ways 2.  Volume of the first prism:   V = (1/2)bhthp V = (1/2)(30)(40)hp V = 600h<span>p</span>

Answer:

1. Yes, they are similar because their corresponding sides are proportional.

2. The prism with Triangle DEF as the base will have the greater volume. The prism with the base as Triangle DEF will have a volume 1.44 times greater than the prism with Triangle ABC as the base.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 48/40= 1.2 and 36/30= 1.2

2. The volume of a prism is the area of the base times the height. In our case, the base is a triangle so use the formula for area of a triangle to find the area of the base. A= b x h x 1/2 (where b is the base length and h is the height of the triangle) First find the volumes.

For the prism with base ABC: 30 x 40 x 1/2 = 600

V=600 x h

For the prism with base DEF: 36 x 48 x 1/2 = 864

V=864 x h

Now that we have the volumes we can see that the prism with base DEF has a greater volume. To find how much greater we would disregard the height of the prism for now and...

864/600=1.44

(I know you might want to subtract rather than divide because that's what I did for my assignment. However, I got it wrong for some reason and my teacher said that instead of 864-600 I needed to do 864/600. I'm not sure why....but hopefully I helped in some way! )

The diameter of the base of the cone measures 8 units. The height measure 6 units. What is the volume of the cone?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The  volume of the cone is  100.48 units³ approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a cone with a diameter of 8 unit   and height of 6 units, we will follow the steps below;

first, write down the formula for calculating the volume of a cone

v= πr²\frac{h}{3}

where v is the volume of the cone

r is the radius    and h is the height of the cone

from the question given, diameter d = 8 units  but d=2r    which implies  r=d/2

r=8/2 = 4 units

Hence r= 4 units

height = 6 units

π is a constant and is ≈ 3.14

we can now proceed to insert the values into the formula

v= πr²\frac{h}{3}

v ≈ 3.14 × 4² × 6/3

v  ≈ 3.14 × 16 × 2

v ≈ 100 .48 units³

Therefore the  volume of the cone is  100 .48 units³ approximately

You buy Apple stock for $120 per share over a period of time the stock value increased at a weekly rate of 5% you sell the stock
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

8.31  weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cost of one share of Apple stock, C=$120

Rate is the increment of the stock value, R= 5%/week=0.05 / week.

Assuming that after t week, the stock has been sold for $180.

Since the stock value increased at 5% every week, so, the interest is compounded weekly, so

S=C\left(1+R\right)^t \\\\ \Rightarrow 180 = 120\left(1+0.05\right)^t \\\\  \Rightarrow 180 = 120\left(1.05 )^t \\\\

\Rightarrow \frac{180}{120}=1.05^t \\\\\Rightarrow 1.5=1.05^t

\Rightarrow \ln(1.5)=t \ln(1.05) [taking log both sides]

\Rightarrow t=\frac {\ln(1.5)}{\ln(1.05)}=8.31 weeks

Hence, after 8.31  weeks the stock has been sold for $180.
