You will have to write a proportion. Then use common denominators to write equivalent ratios. For example;

What is the weight of a 3 Ib human brain in ounces?
Use a proportion to convert 3 Ibs to oz.

16 ounces ? oz
————— = —————
1pound 3 pounds


Use common denominators to write equivalent ratios.


16•3 ?
----- = --- 3 is a common denominator.
1•3 3

48 ?
--- = ---
3 3

Equivalent rates with the same denominators have the same nominators.

?= 48

The weight is 48 ounces.

1. If quadrilateral ABCD is rotated 270° clockwise about the origin, find the coordinates of B'.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The coordinates of B' are (-3, 5).  

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 90 degrees rotated, the coordinate numbers switch and one is multiplied by -1, when clockwise it's the 2nd one, and when counterclockwise, it's the 1st.

Given:
Cylinder: radius = 8 yd; height = 4 yd
Surface Area = 2 π r h + 2 π r²
SA = 2 * 3.14 * 8 yd * 4yd + 2 * 3.14 * (8yd)²
SA = 200.96 yd² + 401.92 yd²
SA = 602.88 yd²
Volume = π r² h
V = 3.14 * (8yd)² * 4yd
V = 803.84 yd³

Dimension is cut in half. radius = 4yds ; height = 2yds
S.A = 2 * 3.14 * 4yd * 2yd + 2 * 3.14 * (4yd)²
S.A = 50.24 yd² + 100.48 yd²
SA = 150.72 yd²
V = 3.14 * (4yd)² * 2yd
V = 100.48 yd³

SA =
602.88 yd² - 150.72yd² = 452.16 yd²
V =
803.84 yd³ - 100.48 yd³ = 703.36 yd³
