The quick way to dispute something like this is to simply do the calculation and then create a ratio. 

Cube One (Large Cube)
The formula for a cube is V = e^3 
e = the measurement of an edge. In this case.
e = 10 cm
V = e^3
V = 10^3 = 10*10*10
V = 1000 cm^3

Cube 2 (Small Cube)
V = e^3
e = 5 cm
V = 5*5*5
V = 125 cm^3

Ratio
Large Cube / Small Cube = 1000 / 125 = 8/1.

The difference in size is 8 to 1 not 2 to 1.

Explanation
He's right if he sticks to one side. The ratio of one side of the large cube to the small one is 2 to 1. But once you put that into the formula for volume, three sides are multiplied together and that 2 shows up everytime you multiply the sides together.

1/4 of 24 on tape diagram
Lemur [1.5K]
Draw the tape diagram: a long rectangle and divide it into 4 squares in a row.The whole rectangle represents 24 (as a whole number), you're dividing it into 4 parts because you want to know what is 1/4 of it.Now, to find the value of each square: 24:4 = 6.Put the number 6 in each square, and you have found your result.1/4 of 24 is 6.

Which of the following are operations in the algebra of sets?
postnew [5]

Answer:

Union and Intersection

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the algebra of sets define the properties and laws of the sets.

The basic operations of sets are,

Union, Intersection, Complement of a set and Equality of sets.

Since, the operations addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are the basic arithmetic operations of numbers.

i.e. they are not in the algebra of sets.

So, we get that out of the given options, the operations in algebra of sets are Union and Intersection.

Blababa [14]

Answer:

The Coordinates of Point C are C(5,2)

The slope of CD is 3  

The possible coordinates of point D(a,b) are (6, 5) and (4, -1)  

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

  • Given, The end points of AB are A(2,3) and B(8,1). The perpendicular Bisector of AB is CD, and point C lies on AB. The length of the CD is √10 units.

Now, Let The Coordinates of Point C are C( x , y ) .  

  • Thus, C( x , y ) = ((8 +2) / 2 , ( 1 + 3 )/ 2 ) ⇒ (10/2 , 4/2) ⇒ (5 , 2)

The Coordinates of Point C are C( x , y ) ⇒C(5, 2).  

And, The slope of AB = (1 - 3)/(8 - 2) ⇒ -2/6 ⇔ -1/3 .

  •       Thus, The slope of CD is  -1/(The slope of AB) =  -1/(-1/3) ⇔  3.

Let the coordinate of D be (a, b) then

⇒ √{ (b - 2)² +(a - 5)² } = √10

 on squaring both sides we get,

 ⇒ a² - 10a + 25 + b² - 4b + 4 = 10

 ⇒ a² + b² - 10a - 4b = - 19 ⇔⇔ (Equation 1)  

We Know, the slope of CD = 3

⇒Thus,  (b - 2)/(a - 5) = 3

⇒ b - 2 = 3a - 15

⇒ b = 3a - 13 ⇔⇔ (Equation 2)

Putting value of Equation 2 into Equation 1, We get

⇒a² + (3a - 13)² - 10a - 4(3a - 13) = - 19

⇒a² + 9a² - 78a + 169 - 10a - 12a + 52 = - 19

⇒10a² - 100a + 240 = 0

⇒a² - 10a + 24 = 0

⇒(a - 4)(a - 6) = 0

⇒a = 4 or a = 6

Now,  

When a = 4 , b = 3(4) - 13 ⇒ 12 - 13 ⇒ b = -1

When a = 6, b = 3(6) - 13 ⇒ 18 - 13 ⇒ b = 5

Therefore, the possible coordinates of point D(a,b) are (6, 5) and (4, -1).
