Alona has some wood cutouts of two different shapes - square and triangle. Each square cutout is 6 mm thick and each triangular

cutout is 8 mm thick. Both cutouts have the same area of cross-section. Alona makes an upright stack using 24 square cutouts. She is making an oblique stack using the triangular cutouts. How many triangular cutouts should she put in the oblique stack so that both stacks have the same volume?

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume is a product of cross-sectional area and height and relresented as V=Ah where V is volume, A is cross-sectional area and h is height.

For the square, since each has a thickness of 6mm then for 24 of them the height will be 24*6=144 mm

Since the volume and cross sectional area of the triangle should be the same, then the height should also be the same.

Since for the triangle each has a thickness of 8mm then the number requred to achieve a height of 144 mm will be 144/8=18 stacks

The graph shows the axis of symmetry for a quadratic function f(x).
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

f(x) = (x - 4)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

When plotted upon a graph, the function passes through the line. You can find the vertex by using the formula: f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k

h = 4, meaning the vertex is (4, 0)

Hope this helps!

A thermos in the shape of a cylinder is filled with coffee. The height of the cylinder is 12 inches and its radius is 2 inches.
serg [7]

Answer:

The  volume of coffee in the thermos is 150.72 inches³ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Volume\ of\ a\ cylinder = \pi r^{2}\ h

Where r is the radius and h is the height .

As given

A thermos in the shape of a cylinder is filled with coffee.

The height of the cylinder is 12 inches and its radius is 2 inches.

As

\pi = 3.14

Put all the value in the formula

Volume\ of\ a\ cylinder = 3.14\times 2\times 2\times 12

                                              =  150 .72 inches ³

Therefore the volume of coffee in the thermos is  150 .72 inches ³ .

Which of the following is not involved in constructing a circle inscribed in a triangle?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
Constructing an a circle inscribed in a triangle involves these steps:

i) Draw 2 (or 3) of the angle bisectors. Their point of intersection is the center of the inscribed circle, or the incenter. Let's denote this point by O

ii) Draw a perpendicular line segment from the incenter to one of the sides. Let the intersection of the perpendicular from O and the side be T.

iii) Draw a circle with center the incenter, and radius the distance  OT.


Answer: B) Only perpendicular bisectors are not involved.
