<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
d = 25

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
To get the value of d, we will need to isolate the d on one side of the equation.

<u>This can be done as follows:</u>
</span>\frac{15}{d} =  \frac{24}{40}<span>

<u>First, we will do cross multiplication as follows:</u>
40*15 = 24*d
600 = 24d

<u>Then, we will isolate the d as follows:</u>
24d = 600
</span>\frac{24d}{24} =  \frac{600}{24}
<span>
d = 25

Hope this helps :)</span>

Answer:

The unknown variable d is, 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion states that two ratios or fractions are equal.

Solve for d:

\frac{15}{d} = \frac{24}{40}

By cross multiply we have;

600 = 24d

Divide both sides by 24 we have;

\frac{600}{24} = d

Simplify:

25 = d

or

d = 25

therefore, the unknown variable d is, 25.

A pyramid with a square base is cut by a plane that is parallel to its base and is 2 units from the base. The surface area of th
icang [17]

Answer:

  6.83 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the original pyramid be represented by h. Then the cut off top has a height of (h -2). The scale factor for the area is the square of the scale factor for height, so we have ...

  (height ratio)^2 = 1/2

  ((h -2)/h)^2 = 1/2

  (h -2)√2 = h . . . . . . square root; multiply by h√2

  h(√2 -1) = 2√2 . . . . add 2√2 -h

  h = (2√2)/(√2 -1) ≈ 6.8284 . . . units

The altitude of the original pyramid is about 6.83 units.

Drag each tile to the correct box. The water level of a tank every minute since it began filling is indicated by segments A, B,
oksian1 [2.3K]

The least to greatest slope, the segments are B, C, and A.

We have given that,

The water level of a tank every minute since it began filling is indicated by segments A, B, and C on the graph below.

A graph represents the water level to fill the tank on Y-axis per time on X-axis.

The rate of increase of water level is indicated by the slope of the segment. The slope is the ratio of rise to run, and is related to the angle the segment makes with the +x axis.

Segments that have more rise for the same run have greater slope. Segments that make a larger reference angle with the +x axis have a larger slope.

Here, segment B has the least slope, followed by C, then A, which has the largest slope.

In order, the least to greatest slope, the segments are B, C, and A.
