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! :)

Tell whether a triangle can have sides with lengths 6, 10, and 14. ​
erik [133]
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. Since 3in, 4in, and 8in. Since 6+14 > 10,6+ 10 > 14, and 10 + 14 > 6, you can form a triangle with the lengths 6m, 14m, and 10m.

Write an expression to describe the sequence below. Use n to represent the position of a term in the sequence, where n = 1 for t
nydimaria [60]

Answer: The Given sequence is 9, 10, 11, 12

We need to find the expression to describe the sequence.

Let  be the  term of the sequence.

Let n represent the position of the term.

Let a be the first term in the sequence.

and d be the common difference between the sequence

Hence the expression to find the above sequence is given below;

when n=1 d= 1 a = 9

when n=2 d= 1 a = 9

when n=3 d= 1 a = 9

when n=3 d= 1 a = 9

Hence the expression is

Write two equations. the first equation should express the area of the square (a as a function of the length (l of a side. the s
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a = l²

v = s³

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width. When that rectangle is a square, the length and width are the same. Here, they are given as "l". Then the area of the square is ...

a = l·l = l²

__

The volume of a cuboid is the product of its height and the area of its base. A cube of edge length s has a square base of side length s and a height of s. Then its volume will be ...

v = s·(s²) = s³

The two equations you want are ...

• a = l²

• v = s³
