Radicals are simplified so that the bases of the terms are the same. The √8 simplifies to 2√2 and √32 simplifies to 4√2. When these two terms are added, the answer will be 6√2.

The length of the side of a square is equal to the perimeter of the square divided by four. Which shows the correct graph relati
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled Perimeter of a square, and the y-axis is labeled Side length of a square. A line goes through points (4, 1), (8, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the perimeter of the square

y ---> the side length of the square

Remember that

The perimeter of the square is given by the expression

P=4b

where

b is the length side of the square

solve for b

b=\frac{1}{4}P

That means

A ordered  pair in the coordinate plane following the rule

(x,y) -----> (x,x/4)

The y-coordinate is equal to the x-coordinate divided by 4

y=x/4

therefore

On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled Perimeter of a square, and the y-axis is labeled Side length of a square. A line goes through points (4, 1), (8, 2).

Because

For the point (4,1)

substitute in the linear equation the value of x

y=4/4=1 ----> is ok

For the point (8,2)

substitute in the linear equation the value of x

y=8/4=2 ----> is ok

In a museum there is a sculpture in the shape of a cylinder the cylinder has a diameter of 12 feet and a height of h feet which
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

V=36 \pi h\ ft^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cylinder (sculpture) is equal to

V=\pi r^{2}H

In this problem we have

r=12/2=6\ ft ----> the radius is half the diameter

H=h\ ft

substitute the values

V=\pi (6^{2})(h)=36 \pi h\ ft^{3}
