Answer:

0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the earth's oceans is approximately 1.34\cdot 10^{9}1.34⋅10

1, point, 34, dot, 10, start superscript, 9, end superscript cubic kilometers (\text{km}^3)(km

)left parenthesis, start text, k, m, end text, cubed, right parenthesis, and ocean water has a mass of about 1.03 \cdot 10^{12}\,\dfrac{\text{kg}}{\text{km}^3}1.03⋅10

To simplify, we will use the product of powers property of exponents that says that x^a\cdot x^b = x^{a+b}x

a

b

=x

a+b

x, start superscript, a, end superscript, dot, x, start superscript, b, end superscript, equals, x, start superscript, a, plus, b, end superscript.

\qquad 1.34\cdot 10^{9}\,\cancel{\text{km}^3} \cdot 1.03 \cdot 10^{12}\,\dfrac{\text{kg}}{\cancel{\text{km}^3}} = 1.3802 \cdot 10^{21}\,\text{kg}1.34⋅10

Hint #2

Next we want to know what portion of the earth's mass this represents. We have:

\qquad \begin{aligned} \dfrac{\text{mass of the oceans}}{\text{total mass of the earth}} &= \dfrac{1.3802 \cdot 10^{21}\,\text{kg}}{6\cdot 10^{24}\,\text{kg}} \\\\ &= \dfrac{1.3802}{6\cdot 10^{3}} \\\\ &= \dfrac{1.3802}{6000} \\\\ &= 0.0002300\overline{3} \end{aligned}

total mass of the earth

mass of the oceans

​

​

 

=

kg

1.3802⋅10

​

=

1.3802

​

=

6000

1.3802

​

=0.0002300

3

​

To convert this to a percent, we multiply by 100100100, so the oceans represent 0.02300\overline{3}\%0.02300

3

%0, point, 02300, start overline, 3, end overline, percent of the earth's total mass, according to these figures.

Hint #3

To the nearest hundredth of a percent, 0.020.020, point, 02 percent of the earth's mass is from oceans.

Answer:

12.4 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Radius of the circular top of the cone = \frac{\text{Diameter}}{2} = \frac{2}{2}=1

Height of the cone = h

Lateral height of the cone = h

By applying Pythagoras theorem in the right triangle of the cone,

l² = r² + h²

6² = 1² + h²

h = \sqrt{36-1}

h = \sqrt{35}

Ice cream needed to fill one cone = Volume of the cone

Since, formula for the volume of the cone V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h

V = \frac{1}{3}\pi (1)^2(\sqrt{35})

   = 6.195

   ≈ 6.20 cm³

Ice cream needed to fill the two cones = 2 × 6.20

                                                                 = 12.4 cm³

Therefore, ice cream needed to fill the two cone = 12.4 cm³

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ITS WORTH 90 POINTS

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The two x angles on the right are supplementary which means they add up to 180 degrees

5x + 12 + 7x - 24 = 180

12x - 12 = 180

12x = 192

x = 192/12

x = 18

5x + 12 and y are corresponding angles and are therefore equal

5(18) + 12 = 90 + 12 = 102

Therefore y = 102
