This is a part:part ratio. to solve it we need to convert it into a part:whole ratio. we do this by adding the parts. the ratio of pumpkin cans to total cans is 5:7. 140/7=20. 20x5=100. 20x2=40. The answer is B. 40 cans.

Juli2301 [7.4K]
For i=1 ===> Sum=4

for i=2===> Sum=2

for I=3===> Sum=1

Hence the answer is 7

Or you could have use the Sum formula of a GP:

Sum = a(1-r)^n/(1-r), with a=1, r=1/2 & n=3

The general formula for the lateral surface area of a regular pyramid is:
A= \frac{1}{2} *p*l
Where:
p=perimeter of a base
l=slant height

a.
a=3ft
l=4ft
p=5*a=5*3=15ft
A= \frac{1}{2} *15*4=30 ft^{2}

b.
a=2.5ft
l=4ft
p=6*a=6*2.5=15ft
A= \frac{1}{2} *15*4=30 ft^{2}

c.
a=1.9ft
l=4ft
p=8*a=8*1.9=15.2ft
A= \frac{1}{2} *15.2*4=30.4 ft^{2}

d.
Based on a lateral surface area the blue umbrella is best choice. But, the best umbrella overall is the one with the greatest base area. General formula for regular polygon is:
A= \frac{1}{4} *n* a^{2}*cot( \frac{180}{n} )

For pentagon:
A=15.48ft^2
For hexagon:
A=16.24ft^2
For octagon:
A=17.43ft^2
Blue umbrella is still best choice.

Find the width of rectangle if it's area is (3x^2 + 9xy + 6y^2 ) square centimeters .
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Given:
Length = 3x + 6y cm
Area = 3x² + 9xy + 6y²

Because Area = Width * Length, therefore
Width = Area/Length
           = (3x² + 9xy + 6y²)/(3x + 6y).

Width = Width= \frac{3( x^{2} +3xy+2 y^{2}) }{3(x+2y)}
Width=\frac{(x+y)(x+2y)}{x+2y} =x+y

Answer:  x+y

Help I don't know the answer 2|x| &lt; 10
bazaltina [42]

Starting with

2|x|

Divide both sides by 2 to get

|x|

If x is positive, this means

x

If x is negative, this means

-x-5

So, we are looking for positive number smaller than 5, or negative numbers greater than -5. In other words, every number between -5 and 5 (both excluded) will satisfy the equation.
