Answer:

The volume ratio of Prism A to Prism B is \frac{729}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its surface areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z-----> scale factor

x/y----> ratio of the surface area of Prism A to Prism B

so

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{81}{4}

substitute

z^{2}=\frac{81}{4}

z=\frac{9}{2}

step 3

Find the volume ratio of Prism A to Prism B.

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z-----> scale factor

x/y----> volume ratio of Prism A to Prism B

so

z^{3}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=\frac{9}{2}

substitute

(\frac{9}{2})^{3}=\frac{x}{y}

(\frac{729}{8})=\frac{x}{y}

2-[6÷2+{6×1/2+(7/2-3/2)}]​
professor190 [17]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

2 - [6 ÷ 2 + {6 × 1/2 + (7/2 - 3/2)}] =

Follow the correct order of operations.

Do one step at a time and copy everything else each time, so you don't lose track of any operation.

= ​2 - [6 ÷ 2 + {6 × 1/2 + 4/2}]

= 2 - [6 ÷ 2 + {6 × 1/2 + 2}]

= 2 - [6 ÷ 2 + {3 + 2}]

= 2 - [6 ÷ 2 + 5]

= 2 - [3 + 5]

= 2 - 8

= -6

Given

a\sqrt{x+b}+c=d

we have

\sqrt{x+b}=\dfrac{d-c}{a}

Squaring both sides, we have

x+b=\dfrac{(d-c)^2}{a^2}

And finally

x=\dfrac{(d-c)^2}{a^2}-b

Note that, when we square both sides, we have to assume that

\dfrac{d-c}{a}>0

because we're assuming that this fraction equals a square root, which is positive.

So, if that fraction is positive you'll actually have roots: choose

a=1,\ b=0,\ c=2,\ d=6

and you'll have

\sqrt{x}+2=6 \iff \sqrt{x}=4 \iff x=16

Which is a valid solution. If, instead, the fraction is negative, you'll have extraneous roots: choose

a=1,\ b=0,\ c=10,\ d=4

and you'll have

\sqrt{x}+10=4 \iff \sqrt{x}=-6

Squaring both sides (and here's the mistake!!) you'd have

x=36

which is not a solution for the equation, if we plug it in we have

\sqrt{x}+10=4 \implies \sqrt{36}+10=4 \implies 6+10=4

Which is clearly false

A community swimming pool is a rectangular prism that is 30 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 5 feet deep. The wading pool is half as
topjm [15]

Answer:

The volume of the community swimming pool is 4 times greaters than the volume of the wading pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition of rectangular prism, we get the respective formulas for the volumes of the community swimming pool and the wadling pool, respectively:

Community swimming pool

V_{c} = l\cdot w\cdot h (1)

Wading pool

V_{w} = \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot l \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot h\right)\cdot w (2)

Where:

l – Length of the swimming pool, measured in feet.

h – Depth of the swimming pool, measured in feet.

w – Width of the swimming pool, measured in feet.

V_{c} – Volume of the community swimming pool, measured in cubic feet.

V_{w} – Volume of the wading swimming pool, measured in cubic feet.

The ratio of the volume of the community swimming pool to the volume of the wadling pool is:

\frac{V_{c}}{V_{w}} = \frac{l\cdot w \cdot h}{\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot l \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot h\right)\cdot w} (3)

\frac{V_{c}}{V_{w}} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{4} }

\frac{V_{c}}{V_{w}} = 4

The volume of the community swimming pool is 4 times greaters than the volume of the wading pool.
