Is it possible for two different numbers, when squared, to give the same result?

Actually, yes, it is possible for two different numbers to give the same result when squared.

In my last answer, I wrote that it wasn't, but I realize now where my mistake was made.

When a number like positive 4 is squared, the answer is 16. When a number like negative 4 is squared, the answer is also 16. I think that the only time when two different squared numbers have the same result is when they are the same number but have a different positive/negative sign.

I hope this helps.

=> it is given that.

=> height of cylinder = 15unit

=> radius of base = 9unit

=> volume of cylinder = π r^2h cubic unit

 => now, putting the value of height and radius

in above formula

=> volume = 22/7 *9*9*15

=> volume = 36177cubic unit

How do i solve this problem?

Dominik [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

surface area of one can 2πrh+2πr²

=2πr(h+r)

≈2×3.14×3/2(4.25+1.5)

≈9.42(5.75)

≈54.165 in²

number of cans=1000/54.165

=18 cans

material used=18×54.165≈975 in²

material left=1000-975=25 in²

The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 4x-6. The perimeter of the triangle is 60. Find x.

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Perimeter of a triangle = add all sides

Both the legs of the isosceles triangle are always EQUAL.

x+4x-6+4x-6 = 60

9x-12 = 60

9x = 60+12

9x = 72

x = 8

Zoe and Hannah share tips in the ratio 3:7. Last week, Zoe received £24. How much did Hannah receive last week?

frozen [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of Zoe; Hannah is 3:7 and Zoe got 24 than we have to divide the 24 by 3 so we can multiply it by 7. This is because since the Zoe is the 3 and it isn't a 1 it isn't the starting point for either of the ratios we cannot multiply the 24 by 7.

24 ÷ 3 = 8

Now we multiply the 8 by 7 so that we know have many tips Hannah made

8 × 7 = 56

Hannah made 56 in tips
