When x = 3 , y = 15 , divide both by 3.
When x= 1 , y = 5. Now multiply both by 4/5
When x = 4/5 , y=4

Y varies directly with x so use
y/x

so when y=15 and x=3

substitute =15/3

when y=4 use y/x again so 4/x (you do not know the x)

15 4
--- * ---
3 x

cross multiply
15x=12
isolate x by dividing 15 on both sides
get x=12/15

How does one calculate the radius of a cone when given the total surface area

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The surface area formula for a cone, given its diameter (or radius) and height, is π x (diameter / 2) 2 + π x (diameter / 2) x √ (diameter / 2) 2 + (height 2), where (diameter / 2) is the radius of the base (d = 2 x r), so another way to write it is π x radius 2 + π x radius x √ (radius 2 + (height 2)

A certain animated movie earned $1.1*10^9 in revenues at the box office. The movie lasts 9.1*10^1 minutes. How much revenue was

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

$12,087,912.1

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.1*10^9$ is in scientific notation, to get this into normal number, we take the decimal point and move it "9" times to the right [whatever power of 10 we have, we move to right (if positive).] Then we fillup the rest with zeros.
