Answer:
try b=32
Step-by-step explanation:
To find which ratio is higher, we can first convert the ratios into fractions (that makes it easier, at least for me) and then simplify the fractions and see which one is greater.
Since ratios are basically division, 15:20 = 
, and
12:16 = 
Now we simplify these fractions. 15 and 20 have a GCF of 5, so taking out the common number gives us the simplified fraction of 
.
12 and 16 have a GCF of 4, so taking out the common number gives us the simplified fraction of . Since = , these ratios are the same.
4/5 x 2= 8/5
Which is 1 3/5 cups needed for 2 pies
This would be 11.83 I hope you pass your test/quiz :)
The surface area of a cone is equal to the base plus the lateral area.
The base is a circle, and has a diameter of 16 meters.
The radius is always half the diameter, so it is 8 meters.
The area of a circle = πr², where r is the radius. π(8)² = 64π ≈ 201.06193
The area of the base is ≈ 201.06193.
To find the lateral area of the cone, we need to find the slant height.
Since the height, radius, and slant height of the cone form a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the slant height with what we are given.
radius² + height² = slant height²
8² + 37² = slant height²
64 + 1369 = slant height²
1433 = slant height²
slant height = √1433
The lateral area of a cone is equal to πrl, where r = radius and l = slant height.
πrl = π(8)(√1433) ≈ 951.39958
(there are other formulas which do the same thing, but it doesn't matter.)
Now we add the lateral area and base together to find our surface area.
201.06193 + 951.39958 = 1152.46151 which rounds to C. 1,152 m².
