Answer:the number of gallons of water left is 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial amount of water in the container is 4 3/8 gallons. Converting 4 3/8 gallons to improper fraction, it becomes 35/8 gallons of water.

A hole in the container causes 7/8 gallon to leak out. The number of gallons of water left in the container would be

Initial amount - amount that leaked. It becomes

35/8 - 7/8 = 28/8 = 3 4/8 = 3.5 gallons of water

The ratio of the volume of two solids is 1331:729. What is the ratio of the surface area
katovenus [111]
Volume ratio = 1331/729 which is the cube of the linear scale factor.
To find the linear scale factor, let find the cubic root of the numerator & the denominator:

∛1331 = ∛11³  = 11

&  ∛729 = ∛9³  = 9

So the linear scale is 11/9 ==> then the ratio of their surface area will be:

11²/9² ==> 121/81.
Note, if you have a linear scale, then the surface will be the square othis scale & the volume will be the cube of the linear scale

Answer:

42.6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum total of all the sides of the shape is the perimeter of the shape. Hence;

Perimeter = x+3 + 4 + x+9 + 2x+5

Perimeter = 4x + 21

Given

Area of the figure = 75cm^2

Area = (x+3)(2x+5) + (2x+1)(6)

75 = 2x²+5x+6x+15+12x+6

75 =  2x²+23x+21

2x²+23x+21-75 = 0

2x²+23x-54 = 0

x = -23±√23²-4(2)(-75)/4

x = -23±√529+600/4

x = -12±√1129/4

x = -12+33.6/4

x = 21.6/4

x = 5.4

Recall that;

Perimeter = 4x+21

Perimeter = 4(5.4) + 21

Perimeter = 21.6+21

Perimeter = 42.6cm

Hence the perimeter is 42.6cm

PLZZZZZZZZZZ I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND 15PTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer: ( 0, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to put coordinates of each graph on these equations y = -x + 2 and y = (1/2)x + 2. If putting coordinates satisfies both equations, then that coordinate will be the solution.

For example, let's put (0, 2) to equations.

y = -x + 2

2 = -0 + 2

2 = 2, true

y = (1/2)x + 2

2 = (1/2) × 0 + 2

2 = 2, true

So, ( 0, 2 ) is the solution.

Find the equation line<br> (5,6), (4,7)
34kurt

Answer:

x+y=11

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given two coordinates through which our lines passes through. Now we are going to use the two point form to find the equation of the line.

The two point form is given as

\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Here we are given two coordinates . Thus replacing them in the formula and simplifying it will give us the equation of the line.

\frac{y-6}{x-5}=\frac{7-6}{4-5}

\frac{y-6}{x-5}=\frac{1}{-1}

(y-6)=-(x-5)

y-6=-x+5

adding x and 6 on both sides we get

x+y=11

Hence this is our equation of the line passing through (5,6) & (4,7)
