<span>L = 2W + 5
A = LW = 63
L = 63/W
W=63/L

L = 2W + 5
63/W = 2W + 5
63 = 2WW + 5W
2WW + 5W - 63 = 0

2WW + 5W - 63 = 0
is already in quadratic equation form: ax^2 + bx + c = 0

use the quadratic formula to solve for two solutions:
x = ( -b +- sqrt( bb - 4ac ) ) / 2a

the two solutions are:
x = 9/2
x = -7
you cant have a negative solution for length so use the positive one

solve for length:
L=5+2(9/2)
L=5+18/2
L=5+9
L=14

W = 9/2
L = 14</span>

A segment with endpoints A (2, 1) and C (4, 7) is partitioned by a point B such that AB and BC form a 3:2 ratio. Find B.

A sphere of radius 2x m has an area of 152.4 m2 and a volume of 360.9 m3. How much will the area and volume of another sphere

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

$V = 1218.0375m^{3}$

$A = 342.9m^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area:

$A =$ π $r^{2}$

$152.4 =$ π $(2x)^{2}$ *Square 2x*

$152.4 =$ π $4x^{2}$ *Divide by π*

$48.510 = 4x^{2}$ *Divide by 4*

$12.128 = x^{2}$ *Square root*

$\sqrt{12.128} = x$ *Solve*

x ≈ 3.482

Now take the same equation but replace 2x with 3x

$A =$ π $r^{2}\\$

Now replace x with 3.482 and solve for area.

$A = 342.9m^{2\\}$

Volume:

$V = \frac{4}{3}$ π $r^{3}$ *Insert variables*

$360.9 = \frac{4}{3}$ π $(2x)^{3}$ *Cube 2x*

$360.9 = \frac{4}{3}$ π $(8x^{3})$ *Multiply $\frac{3}{4}$ on both sides*

$270.675 =$ π $(8x^{3})$ *Divide by π*

$86.159 = 8x^{3}$ *Divide by 8*

$10.770 = x^{3}$ *Cube root*

$\sqrt[3]{10.770} = x$ *Solve*

x ≈ 2.208

Now take the same equation but replace 2x with 3x

$V = \frac{4}{3}$ π $(3x)^{3}$

Now replace x with 2.208 and solve for volume.

$V = 1218.0375m^{3}$
