To keep heating costs down for a structure, architects want the ratio of surface area to volume as small as possible. An express

ion for the ratio of the surface area to volume for the square prism shown is 2b+4h/bh. Find the ratio when b = 15 ft and h = 10 ft.

For the answer to the question above, 
10/12 can be simplified down
I would divide both sides by 2 for starters, then you can see if it needs to be simplified more
10/2=5
12/2=6
Since you have an odd and an even number, you can't simplify it anymore, as 5 and 6 have no common numbers.
The correct answer is 5/6

Answer:

The ratio is \frac{7}{15} when b = 15 ft and h = 10 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the surface area to volume for the square prism is given by the expression

\frac{2b+4h}{bh}

We have to find the ratio when b = 15 ft and h = 10 ft.

Substitute b=15 and h=10 in the given expression.

\frac{2(15)+4(10)}{(15)(10)}

\frac{30+40}{150}

\frac{70}{150}

\frac{7}{15}

Therefore the ratio is \frac{7}{15} when b = 15 ft and h = 10 ft.

The circle below is centered at the origin, and the length of its radius is 7. What is the circle's equation. A. 7x+7y=49. B. x^
Scilla [17]
Equation of a circle is: <span>(x−h<span>)2</span>+(y−k<span>)2</span>=<span>r2</span></span> h is the x-coordinate of the center and k is the y-coordinate of the center. Even though the formula has minus signs, those are positive numbers. If there were plus signs in there, the numbers h and k would actually be negative. Now since you're centered at the origin, that means h and k are 0, so you'd just have this: <span><span>x2</span>+<span>y2</span>=<span>r2</span></span><span> Now since your radius is 7, just square it and replace r^2 woth that value :)</span>

Please help asap!! Thank you

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, there!!

Let's simply work with it,

60° + 2x° + (2x+12)° = 180° { being a linear pair}.

or, 72° + 4x = 180°

4x = 180° - 70°

x =  \frac{108}{4}

Therefore, the value of x is 27°.

Now,

2x° = (2×27)°= 54°

(2x+12)° = 2×27°+12°= 66°.

(x+2)= 27+ 2= 29°

Now, The left angle is 27°.

Therefore, The answer is option A.

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is saying 2/5 squared by -2 times -3 multiplied by itself 4 times.

2/5 multiplied by itself -2 times looks like this: -2/5 times -2/5.

-3 multiplied by itself 4 times looks like this: -3 times -3 times -3 times -3.

Put the two together and it looks like B.
