Elio makes candles that are 14cm. Each candle burns 8 hours before going out. He is wondering how many hours a 21 cm tall candle

can burn for. He assumes that the relationship between the height of a candle and number of hours it burns (h), is proportional.

Elio is right in assuming the relationship between the height and the hours it burns is proportional.

Find the unit rate

14 ÷ 8 = 1.75 cm/h

Divide

21 ÷ 1.75 = 12

You can set this up as an algebraic equation to check the answer.

If the candle is 21 cm tall, it will burn for 12 hours.

Please help me find the area of shaded region and step by step

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Part 1) $A=60\ ft^2$

Part 2) $A=80\ cm^2$

Part 3) $A=96\ m^2$

Part 4) $A=144\ cm^2$

Part 5) $A=9\ m^2$

Part 6) $A=(49\pi -33)\ in^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

The shaded region is equal to the area of the complete rectangle minus the area of the interior rectangle

The area of rectangle is equal to

$A=bh$

where

b is the base of rectangle

h is the height of rectangle

so

$A=(12)(7)-(8)(3)$

$A=84-24$

$A=60\ ft^2$

Part 2) we know that

The shaded region is equal to the area of the complete rectangle minus the area of the interior square

The area of square is equal to

$A=b^2$

where

b is the length side of the square

so

$A=(12)(8)-(4^2)$

$A=96-16$

$A=80\ cm^2$

Part 3) we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of four rectangles plus the area of one square

so

$A=4(4)(5)+(4^2)$

$A=80+16$

$A=96\ m^2$

Part 4) we know that

The shaded region is equal to the area of the complete square minus the area of the interior square

so

$A=(15^2)-(9^2)$

$A=225-81$

$A=144\ cm^2$

Part 5) we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of triangle minus the area of rectangle

The area of triangle is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)$

where

b is the base of triangle

h is the height of triangle

so

$A=\frac{1}{2}(6)(7)-(6)(2)$

$A=21-12$

$A=9\ m^2$

Part 6) we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the circle minus the area of rectangle

The area of the circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

where

r is the radius of the circle

so

$A=\pi (7^2)-(3)(11)$

$A=(49\pi -33)\ in^2$

Which of the following triangles are impossible to draw? Choose all that apply.

ioda

I would say a triangle with two right angles because a triangle's angles add to 180 degrees. If a triangle has two right angles, it means that two angles will be 90 degrees, which add to 180 degrees. A triangle must have three angles and sides, and it is not possible for the last angle to be 0 degrees.

Hope this helps
