Answer:

The radius of the larger is 3 3/5 cm or 3.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the volumes is that is related to the scale factor cubed

125/216 = (sf) ^3

Taking the cube root of each side

(125/216)^1/3 = (sf) ^3 ^(1/3)

5/6 = (sf)

That means the ratio of the radii is in the same proportion

5/6 = 3/ r

Using cross products

5r = 6*3

5r/5 = 18/5

r = 18/5 = 3 3/5

P → q

EXPLANATION

p → q is a symbol for a conditional statement, an if-then statement in which p is a hypothesis and q is a conclusion. The logical connector in a conditional statement is denoted by the symbol →.

The conditional is defined to be true unless a true hypothesis leads to a false conclusion.

Find the value of the lesser root of x 2-8x+7=0

mariarad [96]

Hi there! The answer is x = 1

${x}^{2} - 8x + 7 = 0$

$(x - 7)(x - 1)$
Rule AB = 0, gives A = 0 or B = 0

$x - 7 = 0 \: \: or \: \: x - 1 = 0 \\ x = 7 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: x = 1$
Therefore, the smallest of both roots is x = 1.

One number is five more than another and their sum is three less than three times the smaller

soldier1979 [14.2K]

X = y + 5
(x + y) = 3y - 3

y + 5 + y = 3y - 3
2y + 5 = 3y - 3
5 + 3 = 3y - 2y
8 = y

x = y + 5
x = 8 + 5
x = 13

ur numbers are : 8 and 13
