Answer:

D.  \frac{285}{12.5} and \frac{295}{11.5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that one a recent trip, Cindy drove her car 290 miles, rounded to the nearest 10 miles, and used 12 gallons of gasoline, rounded to the nearest gallon.

The range of miles driven would be between 285 because number of miles in rounded to nearest 10 miles.

The range of gallons of gasoline would be 11.5 because number of gallons of gasoline in rounded to nearest gallon.

To find mileage, we will divide number of miles by number of gallons.

The possible number of gallons of gasoline will be 12.5 gallons for 285 miles to get the minimum number of miles.

Similarly, the possible number of gallons of gasoline will be 11.5 gallons for 295 miles to get the maximum miles.

Therefore, our required range would be \frac{285}{12.5} and \frac{295}{11.5}.

Find the island height of a pyramid with a volume of 432 ft^3 if the base is a square with a side length of 12 ft. Round to the
dmitriy555 [2]

So the picture below shows what the slant height is. It also shows that the pyramid can form a right triangle, in which we can use the pythagorean theorem, which is leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2 .

But first, we have to find the height of this pyramid. The volume formula for a square pyramid is A=\frac{lwh}{3} . Since we know its a square pyramid, the length and width are going to be the same (12 ft), and we know that the volume is 432 ft^3. Using this info, we can solve for the height:

432=\frac{12*12*h}{3}\\ 1296=12*12*h\\ 1296=144*h\\ 9=h

So now we can use the pythagorean theorem (remember to split the 12 by 2, since the right triangle has only half the length of the base). Our equation will be solved as such:

6^2+9^2=s^2\\ 36+81=s^2\\ 117=s^2\\ 10.8=s

In short, the slant height is 10.8 ft.

700a+1200r=1000000       (then plug in the a)
700(1000) +1200r=1000000        (simplify)
700000+1200r=1000000        (subtract 700000 from both sides)
1200r=300000             (divide by 1200 on both sides)
r=250
