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

Write the equation in slope-intercept form then change it to standard form with integer coefficients.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

1. Slope-intercept form:   y = 2x - 4

Standard form:   2x - y = 4

2. Slope-intercept form:  y = \dfrac12x - 1

Standard form:             x - 2y = 2

3. Slope-intercept form:   y = \dfrac45x + \dfrac{21}{5}

Standard form:            4x -5y = - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form:   y = mx + b

where:

  • y = y-coordinate
  • m = slope
  • x = x-coordinate
  • b = y-intercept

Standard form:  Ax + By = C

\textsf{1.  as} \ m=2: \ \ y = 2x + b

   \textsf{at} \  (6, 8): \ \ 8 = 2(6) + b

   \implies b = -4

Slope-intercept form:   y = 2x - 4

Standard form:   2x - y = 4

\textsf{2.  as} \  \ m = \dfrac12: \ \ y = \dfrac12x + b

    \textsf{at} \  (4, 1): \ \ 1 = \dfrac12(4) + b

    \implies b = -1

Slope-intercept form:  y = \dfrac12x - 1

Standard form:             x - 2y = 2

\textsf{3.  as} \  \ m = \dfrac45: \ \ y = \dfrac45x + b

   \textsf{at} \  (1,5): \ \ 5 = \dfrac45(1) + b

   \implies b = \dfrac{21}{5}

Slope-intercept form:   y = \dfrac45x + \dfrac{21}{5}

Standard form:            4x -5y = - 21

In 2009 the bureau of labor statistics reported a surge in volunteerism. At this time there were a reported 63,361 volunteers in
yuradex [85]

Answer:

16,537

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of Volunteers in the US =  63,361

The pie chart for the question has been reproduced and attached below.

From the pie chart

Percentage of people who volunteered in the educational capacity = 26.1 %

Therefore, the number of people that volunteered in the educational capacity

=26.1% of 63,361

=0.261 X 63,361

=16,537 (to the nearest whole number)
