Why would you use the measurement 8 feet 4 inches instead of 7 feet 16 inches?.

8 feet 4 inches is more precise and easier to use.

It would be weird to say 7 feet 16 inches, because there's 12 inches in a foot and your already using that measurement.

Hope this is helpful:)

Answer:

The answer is 4a

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Simplify 4a² + 12a² to 16a².

$\sqrt{ {16a}^{2} }$

2) Use this rule:

$\sqrt{ab} = \sqrt{a} \sqrt{b}$

$\sqrt{16} \sqrt{ {a}^{2} }$

3) Since 4 × 4 is 16, the square root of 16 is 4.

$4 \sqrt{ {a}^{2} }$

4) Simplify.

$4a$

Therefor, the answer is 4a.

Sheena wants to measure the volume of a ball that is 24 cm across. How should she set up her equation?

Annette [7]

Answer:

The volume of the ball is $V=2,304\pi\ cm^{3}$ or $V=7,234.56\ cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the sphere ( a ball) is equal to

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

we have

$r=24/2=12\ cm$ -----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (12)^{3}$

$V=2,304\pi\ cm^{3}$ ----> exact value of the volume

assume

$\pi =3.14$

substitute

$V=2,304(3.14)=7,234.56\ cm^{3}$ -----> approximate value
