How are units of length and capacity similar in the metric system

1 answer:

8 0

In the metric system, each of the common kinds of measure -- length, weight, capacity -- has one basic unit of measure. To measure smaller amounts, divide the basic unit into parts of ten, a hundred, or a thousand, and so on. To measure larger amounts, multiply the basic unit by ten, a hundred, or a thousand, and so on.
Length:
1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)
1 centimeter (cm) = .01 meter (m)
1 millimeter (mm) = .001 meter (m)
Weight:
1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g)
1 milligram (mg) = .001 gram (g)
Capacity:
1 milliliter = .001 liter (l)

Which quantity is proportional to 16⁄4?

Aleks [24]

4.

This is because 4 goes into 16 4 times, hence 4 x 4 being 16.

Therefore, the answer would be four.

Hope this helps!

The net of a square pyramid is shown below: Net of a square pyramid showing 4 triangles and the square base. The square base has

Neko [114]

Given:

The dimensions:

Square pyramid

Square base: 2x2

1 out of 4 triangles: 1/2x2x5

4 triangles: 2x2x5

To find:

The SURFACE AREA of the square pyramid

Find answer:

Step 1

Find the area of the square base -

Square base:

SA = L x W

= 2 x 2

= 4

The surface area of the square is 4 square inches

Step 2

Find the area of the 4 Triangles:

We will use a different formula here, to find 1 triangle, we will have to do:

$SA = \frac{1}{2} *B*H$

To find 2 triangles, we will do:

$SA = B*H$

But to find 4 triangles in just 1 step, we will do:

$SA=2*B*H$

Let's do it!

$SA = 2*2*5\\=2*10\\=20$

The surface area of the 4 triangles are 20 square inches

Step 3

Easy!

20+4=24

<h2>Hence, the Surface Area of the Square Pyramid is 24 square inches</h2>

what is the slope of the line that passes through the points (7,-6) and (4,-6)? write your answer in simplest form

Andrews [41]

Answer:

m = 0, y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

using point slope form :

$y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})$

y-y1=m(x-x1) ; initial point (x1,y1) = (4,-6), final point (x,y) = (7,-6).

one substituted, it should look like this:

-6--6 = m(7-4),

-6+6= m(7-4)

0 = m(7-4)

0 = 3m

0/3 = 3/3m

0 = m

m = 0/3 = 0
