Surface Area of a Sphere = 4π(d/2)²
Let the smaller sphere's diameter be just a sample of 4 units in diameter and let the large spheres diameter be 4 times that of the smaller sphere.
Small Sphere: 4π(4/2)² = 16π units²
Large Sphere: 4π(16/2)² = 256π units²
256π / 16π = 16 times
The large sphere has a surface area 16 times that of the smaller one.
Answer:
B) 4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. <em>It is either 3 or 4</em>, since those are only two angles comparing the lighthouse and the boat.
2. The angle of depression is noted below the horizontal and above the actual line, and out of 3 and 4, <em>4 is the only angle that is below its corresponding horizontal</em>.
So, the angle of depression from the lighthouse to the boat is 4.
Hello, the answer is simple it is W=6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for x means you have to factor. First factor out the GCF of 2 to get:
and now we'll factor using the regular old method of ac and then factoring by grouping. In our polynomial, a = 3, b = 1, c = -6. Therefore, a times c is 3 * -6 which is -18. We need some combinations of the factors of 18 that will add to give us 1, the b term in the middle. The factors of 18 are:
1, 18
2, 9
3, 6 and that's it. Hm...it seems that won't work, so let's throw this into the quadratic formula, going back to the original and a = 6, b = 2 and c = -12:
and
and
and
and
which finally simplifies to
No wonder that didn't factor using the traditional method of factoring! We could have found that out by finding first the value of the discriminant, but oh well!
