Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

the options A and B are the ones that make sense

to get rid of one of the options, you have to substitute.

lets try 6

5+ 3.5(6)= 5+21= 26

3+ 4(6)= 3+24 = 27

the volume of a triangular prism is 42 cubic centimeters. what is the volume of a similar prism that is twice as large as large

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The volume of the similar prism is $336\ cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x----> the volume of the larger prism

y----> the volume of the smaller prism

so

$z^{3}=\frac{x}{y}$

In this problem we have

$z=2$ -----> the scale factor

$y=42\ cm^{3}$

substitute and solve for x

$x=42(2^{3})=336\ cm^{3}$

Find the four arithmetic means between -21 and -36.

lara31 [8.8K]

The numbers given in the problem above are part of an arithmetic sequence with first and sixth terms equal to -21 and -36, respectively. Firstly, calculate for the common difference (d).

d = (-36 - -21) / (6 - 1) = -3

The arithmetic mean is calculated by adding -3 to the term prior to it.

a2 = -21 + -3 = -24 a3 = -24 + -3 = -27
a4 = -27 + -3 = -30 a5 = -30 + -3 = -33

Thus the four arithmetic means are -24, -27, -30, and -33.
