11.25 lbs, if I calculated this correctly.

75lbs of food = 15% tiger's food weight
? lbs tiger= 100% tiger's body weight

So you want to take the amount of food (75lbs), divide it by the amount of the tiger's food weight (15%) and then multiply it by it's total body weight (100%)
So 75 / 15 = 5
and 5 x 100 = 500
so the tiger = 500lbs

Which of the following points are more than 5 units from the point P(−2, −2)? Select all that apply. A A (2, 1) B B (4, −1) C C

netineya [11]

The distance between any 2 points P(a,b) and Q(c,d) in the coordinate plane, is given by the formula:

 $|PQ|= \sqrt{ (a-c)^{2} + (b-d)^{2}}$

Using this formula we calculate the distances |PA|, |PB|, |PC|, |PD| and |PE| and compare to 5.

$|PA|= \sqrt{ (-2-2)^{2} + (-2-1)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+9}= \sqrt{25}=5$

$|PB|= \sqrt{ (-2-4)^{2} + (-2+1)^{2}}= \sqrt{36+1}= \sqrt{37} \approx 6$

$|PC|= \sqrt{ (-2-2)^{2} + (-2+3)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+1}= \sqrt{17}\approx4$

$|PD|= \sqrt{ (-2+6)^{2} + (-2+6)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+16}= \sqrt{32}\ \textgreater \ \sqrt{25}=5$

$|PE|= \sqrt{ (-2+5)^{2} + (-2-1)^{2}}= \sqrt{9+9}= \sqrt{16}=4$

Find the ratio of the volume of one sphere to the volume of the right cylinder

yarga [219]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $r$ be the radius of one sphere.

Volume of sphere is $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Since radius is r, the height of the cylinder will be $4r$

Also, the cylinder has the same radius as the sphere: $r$

Volume of Cylinder is $V=\pi r^2 h$

Plugging in the values we get: $V=\pi (r)^{2}(4r)=4\pi r^3$

Ratio of volume of 1 sphere to volume of cylinder is:

$\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3}{4\pi r^3}=\frac{\frac{4}{3}}{4}=\frac{4}{3}*\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{3}$

The ratio is 1:3

Answer choice B is right.
