Elio makes candles that are 14 cm tall. 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. How long can a 21 cm tall candle burn for?

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.

Hope this helped you! :)

Dennis has three identical ​cylinders​ filled with water. How many ​cones should he be able to fill with the water if the cones
Brut [27]

Answer:

3 cylinder will fill 9 cones with water

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on mensuration of slides, cone and cylinder

We know that the

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Volume of a cone = 1/3(πr²h)

Given that both cylinder and cone has same height and radius

From the given expression we can deduce that the cone is 3 times smaller than the cylinder in volume

So if 1 cylinder will fill 3 cones

Then 3 cylinders will fill x cones

By cross multiplication we have

x= 3*3cones

x= 9 cones

Hence 3 cylinder will fill 9 cones with water

In triangle abc, the perimeter is 36, and ab=ac. line ad is perpendicular to bc at the point d, and triangle abd's perimeter is
Musya8 [376]
Let x=ab=ac, and y=bc, and z=ad.

Since the perimeter of the triangle abc is 36, you have:

Perimeter of abc = 36
ab + ac + bc = 36
x + x + y = 36
(eq. 1) 2x + y = 36

The triangle is isosceles (it has two sides with equal length: ab and ac). The line perpendicular to the third side (bc) from the opposite vertex (a), divides that third side into two equal halves: the point d is the middle point of bc. This is a property of isosceles triangles, which is easily shown by similarity.

Hence, we have that bd = dc = bc/2 = y/2 (remember we called bc = y).

The perimeter of the triangle abd is 30:

Permiter of abd = 30
ab + bd + ad = 30
x + y/2 + z =30
(eq. 2) 2x + y + 2z = 60

So, we have two equations on x, y and z:

(eq.1) 2x + y = 36
(eq.2) 2x + y + 2z = 60

Substitute 2x + y by 36 from (eq.1) in (eq.2):

(eq.2') 36 + 2z = 60

And solve for z:

36 + 2z = 60 => 2z = 60 - 36 => 2z = 24 => z = 12

The measure of ad is 12.

If you prefer a less algebraic reasoning:

- The perimeter of abd is half the perimeter of abc plus the length of ad (since you have "cut" the triangle abc in two halves to obtain the triangle abd).

- Then, ad is the difference between the perimeter of abd and half the perimeter of abc:

ad = 30 - (36/2) = 30 - 18 = 12

A diving board is 10 feet above the surface of the water. At time t = 0, the board propels Chris upward at a rate of 12 feet per
Art [367]

Answer:

Chris will take 0.75 seconds to return to his starting height of 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of Chris be represented by h(t) = -16\cdot t^{2}+12\cdot t +10, where h(t) is the height in feet and t, the time in seconds. First, we equalize the formula to a height of 10 feet and simplify the resulting expression, that is:

-16\cdot t^{2}+12\cdot t +10 = 10

-16\cdot t^{2}+12\cdot t = 0

Then, we simplify the expression by algebraic means:

-16\cdot t\cdot \left(t-\frac{3}{4} \right) = 0

Roots of the polynomial are, respectively:

t = 0\,s\,\lor \,t = 0.75\,s

First root represents the initial height of Chris, whereas the second one represents the instant when Christ returns to the same height above the surface of the water. Hence, Chris will take 0.75 seconds to return to his starting height of 10 feet.
