The answers are shorter, higher, 2cm, 15cm, 20% and 15%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; From the given data Hugo measured his plant higher than its original height. Hugo measured his plant as 12 cm while it was actually 10 cm. So Hugo's measurement was off by 2cm. Hugo's percent error is given by dividing the difference in values by the actual value.= multiplied by 100.

% error = (difference in values / actual value) × 100

Hugo's % error = (12 - 10)/ 10 × 100 = 2/10 × 100 = 20%.

Step 2; Koby measured his plant lower than his plant's original height. He measured it to be 85 cm while it was 100 cm tall. So Koby's measurement was off by 15cm. The percent error is calculated in the same way.

% error = (difference in values / actual value) × 100

Koby's % error = (100 - 85)/ 100 × 100 = 15/100 × 100 = 15%.

Step 3; Hugo had a percent error of 20% while Koby has a percent error of 15%. So Hugo had a higher percent error of the two.

A cone has a radius of 24 cm and a volume of 1,920 cm cubed. What is the Volume of a similar cone with a radius of 18 cm?

Maurinko [17]

24 * 3/4 = 18

The radius of smaller cone is 3/4 the radius of original cone, so since these cones are similar, height must also be 3/4 times smaller.

So since radius is squared and we also multiple the height (V = 1/3 π r² h),
the volume of smaller cone would be 3³ / 4³ = 27 / 64 times smaller

So we have 1920 * (27 / 64) = 810.

Final answer: B

ipn [44]

solution
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
Therefore, to convert to cubic measurements
(1 in)³ = (2.54 cm)³
Thus;
1 in³ = 16.387 cm³
Hence 305 cubic inches will be equivalent to
305 × 16.387
= 4998.035 cm³

Answer:

$\dfrac{4000\pi}{3}$ ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's figure out how to get the volume of a sphere from its surface area. If r is the radius of our sphere, then

The formula for a sphere's surface area is $A = 4\pi r^2$

The formula for a sphere's volume is $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

So to get from area to volume, we have to divide the area by 3 and then multiply it by r. Mathematically:

$V=\frac{A}{3}r$

Before we solve for V though, we need to find the radius of our sphere. Thankfully, we're given the surface area - $400\pi$ ft² - so we can use the area formula to find that radius:

$A=4\pi r^2=400\pi\\r^2=100\\r=10$

And now that we have our radius, we can put it into our volume formula to find

$V=\frac{A}{3} r=\frac{400\pi}{3}(10)=\frac{4000\pi}{3}$ ft³
