the sides of a rectangle are the ratio 2:5. (for every 2cm of the width, the length is 5cm) the perimeter of the rectangle is 70

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ratio
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Width : Length
2 : 5

Let x be the scale factor

Width : Length
2x : 5x

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form equation and solve x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)
70 = 2(5x + 2x)
70 = 2(7x)
70 = 14x
14x = 70
x = 5

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Length and Width
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Length = 5x
Length = 5(5)
Length = 25

Width = 2x
Width = 2(5)
Width = 10

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Length = 25 cm, Width = 10 cm

A spherical balloon has a circumference of 25 cm.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

See below ↓↓

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Finding the radius</u>

C = 2πr
25 = 2 x 3.14 x r
r = 25 / 6.28
r = 3.98 cm ≅ 4 cm

<u />

<u>Surface Area</u>

4πr²
4 x 3.14 x 4 x 4
3.14 x 64
200.96
<u>201 cm²</u>

<u></u>

<u>Volume</u>

4/3πr³ = 4πr² x r/3
201 x 4/3
67 x 4
<u>268 cm³</u>

Find the value of x .. assume that segments that appear to be tangent are tangent .

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

sqrt(277) =x

x is approximately 16.64331698

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle since 14 is tangent to the circle and 9 is a radius

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem

a^2 +b^2 =c^2

9^2+14^2 =x^2

81+196 = x^2

277 = x^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(277) = sqrt(x^2)

sqrt(277) =x
