The trick is to exploit the difference of squares formula,

Set a = √8 and b = √6, so that a + b is the expression in the denominator. Multiply by its conjugate a - b:

Whatever you do to the denominator, you have to do to the numerator too. So

Expand the numerator:






So we have

But √12 = √(3•4) = 2√3, so

Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area of the original cone
When, radius is quadrupled and slant height is reduced to one sixth
Plug the above values of r and
in equation (1), new surface area becomes:

Answer:
333.67 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
She drives her car 91 mi on 3 gal of gas
That’s 91 mi = 3 gal
How many miles can she drive on 11 gal of gas .
Let the mile she can drive by 11 gal of gas be A
At the same rate ,
91 mi = 3 gall
A mi = 11 gal
Cross multiply
A x 3 = 91 x 11
A x 3 = 1001
Divide both sides by 3
A x 3/3 = 1001/3
A = 333.67 miles
At the same rate she’ll drive 333.67 miles on 11 gal of gas
