The answer is -30%
percent change [(50-35)/50]x100=-30%

Since it starts at 50 and goes to 35....it is a decrease since the amount is going down, or getting smaller.  To find the percent, first find the difference 50-35 = 15; then divide by the initial amount of 50.  So, 15/50 = 0.3, and then convert that to a percent by multiplying by 100.  Therefore the percent decrease is 30%

What is the best approximation of the length of the radius in a circle with an area of 16pi x in ^ 2 ?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

4in = r

Step-by-step explanation:

Different problem if the x was a variable in the question

formula for area of circle = pi x r^2.

So if the area of a circle is 16 pi in^2, it would be an obvious estimate that the radius is the square root of 16 which is 4 inches.

If the x was a variable, you would find the square root of 16x which is \sqrt{16x} which would make it 4\sqrt{x} as the radius.

Segment AB = 4x - 10
White raven [17]
(4x - 10) + (12x + 6) = 68
16x - 4 = 68
16 x = 72
x = 4.5

So, 12 (4.5) + 6 = 60

What is the surface area of a cylinder with a height of 3 and a radius of 7?
saveliy_v [14]
Break up the problem into two parts:  1) find the surface area of the sides of the cylinder and 2) find the surface area of the top or bottom and multiply your result by 2.

Part 1:  Imagine that you cut the side of the cylinder parallel to its axis once and then open up this shape to form a rectangle.  The length of this rectangle is equal to the circumference of the cylinder times the height/length of the cylinder parallel to its axis:  A1 = 2 pi (7 units) (3 units), or 42 pi square units.

Part 2:  The total area of the two ends of the cylinder is 2 (pi [7 units]^2), or 98 pi square units.

Add these two areas together to get the total surface area of the cylinder.

What is this simplified: 5(z+4)+5(2-z)
STALIN [3.7K]
It would be 30 because when you add 5z to a -5z those cancel out so what you have left would be 20+10 and you would add those together and get 30.
