Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given $\frac{P}{6}$ = $\frac{7}{8}$

using the method of cross- multiplication then

8P = 42 ( divide both sides by 8 )

P = $\frac{42}{8}$ = 5.25

Statements that are true for a cylinder with radius r and height h.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Only the second and third statements are correct:

Doubling r quadruples the volume.

Doubling h doubles the volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by:

$\displaystyle V=\pi r^2h$

We can go through each statement and examine its validity.

Statement 1)

If the radius is doubled, our new radius is now 2r. Hence, our volume is:

$\displaystyle V=\pi (2r)^2h=4\pi r^2h$

So, compared to the old volume, the new volume is quadrupled the original volume.

Statement 1 is not correct.

Statement 2)

Using the previous reasonsing, Statement 2 is correct.

Statement 3)

If the height is doubled, our new height is now 2h. Hence, our volume is:

$V=\pi r^2(2h)=2\pi r^2h$

So, compared to the old volume, the new volume has been doubled.

Statement 3 is correct.

Statement 4)

Statement 4 is not correct using the previous reasonsing.

Statement 5)

Doubling the radius results in 2r and doubling the height results in 2h. Hence, the new volume is:

$V=\pi (2r)^2(2h)=\pi (4r^2)(2h)=8\pi r^2h$

So, compared to the old volume, the new volume is increased by eight-fold.

Statement 5 is not correct.

To find the measure of ∠A in ∆ABC, use the___(Pythagorean Theorem, Law of Sines, Law of Cosines). To find the length of side HI

nadya68 [22]

Part 1) To find the measure of ∠A in ∆ABC, use

we know that

In the triangle ABC

Applying the law of sines

$\frac{a}{sin\ A}=\frac{b}{sin\ B}=\frac{c}{sin\ C}$

in this problem we have

$\frac{a}{sin\ A}=\frac{b}{sin\ theta}\\ \\a*sin\ theta=b*sin\ A\\ \\ sin\ A=\frac{a*sin\ theta}{b} \\ \\ A=arc\ sin (\frac{a*sin\ theta}{b})$

therefore

the answer Part 1) is

Law of Sines

Part 2) To find the length of side HI in ∆HIG, use

we know that

In the triangle HIG

Applying the law of cosines

$g^{2}=h^{2}+i^{2}-2*h*i*cos\ G$

In this problem we have

g=HI

G=angle Beta

substitute

$HI^{2}=h^{2}+i^{2}-2*h*i*cos\ Beta$

$HI=\sqrt{h^{2}+i^{2}-2*h*i*cos\ Beta}$

therefore

the answer Part 2) is

Law of Cosines
