Answer:
The surface area of the second cylinder is equal to 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two figures are similar then
the ratio of their surfaces areas is equal to the scale factor squared
Let
z-------> the scale factor
x------> the surface area of the smaller cylinder (second cylinder)
y-------> the surface area of the original cylinder (first cylinder)
so

Step 1
Find the scale factor

Step 2
Find the surface area of the second cylinder
we have


substitute and solve for x


Using algebra
n and n+2 are the integers
n*(n+2)=288
n^2+2n=288
n^2+2n-288=0
288=2*2*2*2*2*3*3=(2*2*2*2)*(2*3*3)=16*18 and 18-16=2
factor(n+18)(n-16)=0
n+18=0
n=-18
n+2=-16
this is one solution
n-16=0
n=16
n+2=18
this is another solution
as you can see, it's just a matter of factoring 288using arithmetic...√288=16.97≈1716 and 18 are the integers (as well as -16 and -18)
Answer:
<h2> d.) 11.2 square feet per year</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference in sizes:
2169 - 2057 = 112 square feet
It is 10 years from 2000 to 2010
112:10 = 11.2
