If i have 2 apple and get 3 more then lose 2 how many do i have left

nydimaria [60]

You have 2 apples, get 3 more, and then lose 2 of them.

So, you HAVE 2 apples, and if you get 3 more, you can add it to the 2.
$2 + 3 = 5$

In total at the moment, you have 5 apples. Now, you lose 2 more. We can subtract that from our total number of apples.
$5 - 2 = 3$

We now know that you are left with 3 apples.

How do i find the volume of these similar solids? round to the nearest tenth HELP

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The volume of the larger solid is $592.6\ mm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question is</em></u>

If these solids are similar, find the volume of the larger solid

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two solids are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

x ----> the height of the larger solid in mm

y ----> the height of the smaller solid in mm

z ---> the scale factor

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$x=4\ mm\\y=3\ mm$

substitute

$z=\frac{4}{3}$ ---> scale factor

step 2

Find the volume of the larger solid

we know that

If two solids are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

x ----> the volume of the larger solid in cubic millimeters

y ----> the volume of the smaller solid in in cubic millimeters

z ---> the scale factor

$z^3=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{4}{3}$

$y=250\ mm^3$

substitute the values

$(\frac{4}{3})^3=\frac{x}{250}$

solve for x

$(\frac{64}{27})=\frac{x}{250}$

$x=250(\frac{64}{27})$

$x=592.6\ mm^3$

The equation of a circle is (x + 6)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 16. The point (-6, 8) is on the circle.

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

y = 8 is the equation of tangent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the tangent to the circle at (-6,8) is of the form:

y = mx + c

where m is the slope of the tangent and c is the y-intercept.

The point (-6,8) lies on the circle and the tangent line as well.

Hence (-6,8) satisfies the line equation:

8 = m(-6) + c ⇒ c-6m = 8 -------------1

We know that slope of two perpendicular lines are related as:

$m_{1}\times m_{2}=-1$

At any point on the circle, the normal line at a point is always perpendicular to the tangent line at that point.

Hence :

$m_{normal} \times m_{tangent}=-1$

We can find the slope of the normal at point (-6,8) as it passes through the centre of the circle (-6,4) by using the two-points formula for slope.

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$=\frac{8-4}{-6+6}$

= ∞

Slope of the normal is infinity and hence slope of tangent is -1/∞ = 0

Hence m=0

Putting m=0 in equation 1 we get:

c = 8

The equation of tangent line at (-6,8) is:

y = 8

Liliana wants to determine the height of an enlarged photo that she plans to frame. The original photo was 11 inches wide by 14

inn [45]

Answer: 168 inches.

Explanation:

First thing you must always do when solving word problems is read closely, and take note of any number.

In this case, the first thing we must do is find the scale factor.

For this, we use one of the dimensions. We will use the width of the photo.

We have then:

k = 132/11

k = 12

Then, we look for the value of the height of the new photo. To do this, we multiply the scale factor by the original dimension.

We have then:

14k = 14 (12) = 168

Thus, 168 inches is your answer! :)

Hope this helps! :)
