Answer:

JL = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the above question that:

In triangle △JKL, ∠JKL is right angle, and KM is an altitude. JK=24 and JM=18, find JL.

From the attached diagram, we can see that

JL : JK = JK: JM

Therefore,

JL/ JK = JK /JM

Where JL = Unknown

JK = 24

JM = 18

JL/ 24 = 24/18

Cross Multiply

24 × 24 = JL × 18

Divide both sides by 18

JL = (24 × 24) /18

JL = 576/18

JL = 32

Find the radius of a sphere with a volume of 2304 pi cubic centimeters.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The radius of a sphere would be 12 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of the sphere =

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

By putting the value of volume we can find the radius of the sphere.

Volume of the sphere = 2304 π cm³

$2304\pi =\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$2304=\frac{4}{3} r^3$

$2304\times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{4}{3}r^3$

$2304\times \frac{3}{4}=r^3$

576 × 3 = r³

$r=\sqrt[3]{1728}$

r = 12

The radius of a sphere would be 12 cm.

325% of what number of gallons is 22.75 gallons?

vagabundo [1.1K]

So for this, we will be forming the equation $x*3.25=22.75$ , and we will be solving for x. (3.25=325%)

For this equation, all you have to do is divide each side by 3.25, and your answer is gonna be $x=7$ gallons.

Robin is making bows to sell at her mothers yard sale. She will use 3/4 foot of red ribbon and 2/3 foot of blue ribbon. What is

Jet001 [13]

To determine the ratio of the lengths of the red and blue ribbon, we just have to divide the lengths of the corresponding colored ribbon.
red / blue = 3/4 / 2/3 = 9/8
(2) The ratio of the lengths expressed as a unit rate is 9/8:1
(3) The ratio of the lengths of the blue to red ribbon is the reciprocal of the calculated value above giving us the answer of 8/9.

What is the equation of the axis of symmetry of a parabola if its x-intercepts are -3 and 7?

Ostrovityanka [42]

This is a parabola, meaning the equation is a quadratic, so it has 2 roots or x-intercepts, keeping in mind that vertex will lie half-way between those intercepts.

so what's the x-value halfway between -3 and 7? yeap, you guessed it, 2.

so the axis of symmetry for this vertical parabola will be at x = 2.
