Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to pay very close attention to the triangle similarity statement. This says that triangle NML is similar to triangle NVU. But if you look at the way that triangle NVU is oriented in its appearance, it's laying on its side. We need to set it upright so that angle N is the vertex angle, angle V is the base angle on the left, and angle U is the base angle on the right. When we do that we see that sides NV and NM are corresponding and exist in a ratio to one another; likewise with sides VU and ML. Setting up the proportion:
Filling in:
Cross multiply to get
324 = 108x
and x = 3

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:
To find if they have a constant of proportionality of 12, use the following:
Divide y by the x value (x,y), and if the remaining equation is true, then that table has a constant of proportionality of 12.*
:Done
*Make sure you check all the values in a table. Sometimes only the first values will have k=12, while the others don't.
**The constant of proportionality is represented by <em>k</em>.
The volume of the shape
We have a cylinder that is cut into two. Its external radius is 5ft, while its internal radius is 4ft.
External radius = internal radius + thickness
Internal radius = 4ft (given)
Recall that the volume(V) of a full cylinder is:
Since the cylinder is cut into two, the volume(V) is:
height (h) = 12ft (given)
The volume of the shape:
