Answer:

hx = 1.5cm . x + 11 cm

126 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following ordered pairs (x, hx).

  • (1, 12.5 cm)
  • (2, 14 cm)
  • (3, 15.5 cm)

We are looking for a linear equation of the form:

hx = a.x + b

where,

a is the slope

b is the y-intercept

To find the slope, we take any pair of ordered values and replace their values in the following expression.

a=\frac{\Delta hx }{\Delta x} =\frac{h2-h1}{2-1} =\frac{14cm-12.5cm}{2-1} =1.5cm

Now, the general form is:

hx = 1.5cm . x + b

We can take any ordered pair and replace it in this expression to find b. Let's use h1.

h1 = 1.5cm . x1 + b

12.5 cm = 1.5 cm . 1 + b

b = 11 cm

The final equation is:

hx = 1.5cm . x + 11 cm

If hx = 200 cm,

200 cm = 1.5cm . x + 11 cm

189 cm = 1.5cm . x

x = 126

Answer:

Approximately 59 stacked cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of a cup = 12.5 cm,

Two stacked cups = 14 cm,

Three stacked cups = 15.5 cm,

........, so on,....

Thus, there is an AP that represents the given situation,

12.5, 14, 15.5,....

First term is, a = 12.5,

Common difference, d = 1.5 cm,

Thus, the height of x cups is,

h(x) = a+(x-1)d = 12.5 + (x-1)1.5 = 1.5x + 11

According to the question,

h(x) = 200

⇒ 1.5x + 11 = 200

⇒ 1.5x = 189

⇒ x = 59.3333333333 ≈ 59,

Hence, approximately 59 stacked cups will need.

Solve the equation for the indicated variable S=2πrh+2πr²<br> Solve for h
valina [46]

Answer:

Good luck :)

Step-by-step explanation:

S=2πrh+2πr ²

subtract 2πr ² from each side

S -2πr ² = 2πrh

divide by 2πr from each side

(S -2πr ² )/ 2πr  = h

Answer:

325m = c

Step-by-step explanation:

Each meeting room has 325 chairs.

Since we don't know how many meeting rooms there are, the number is replaced with the variable, m.

An equation is a problem with an equals sign so you need to put what it would equal.

Since you don't know how many meeting rooms there are you use the variable, c which represents the total number of chairs.
