The ratio of the volume of two solids is 1331:729. What is the ratio of the surface area
katovenus [111]
Volume ratio = 1331/729 which is the cube of the linear scale factor.
To find the linear scale factor, let find the cubic root of the numerator & the denominator:

∛1331 = ∛11³  = 11

&  ∛729 = ∛9³  = 9

So the linear scale is 11/9 ==> then the ratio of their surface area will be:

11²/9² ==> 121/81.
Note, if you have a linear scale, then the surface will be the square othis scale & the volume will be the cube of the linear scale

Plot the vertex, focus, and directrix for the parabola represented by this equation. X=-1/12(y-2)^2+1
alukav5142 [94]

The vertex of the parabola is (1, 2), focus of the parabola is  (-2, 2), and directrix x = 4.

<h3>What is a parabola?</h3>

It is defined as the graph of a quadratic function that has something bowl-shaped.

We have a parabola equation:

\rm x = -\dfrac{1}{12}(y-2)^2+1

The standard form of the parabola:

\rm x = \dfrac{1}{4(f-h)}(y-k)^2+h

(h, k) is the vertex of the parabola and (f, k) is the focus.

\rm x = \dfrac{1}{4(-2-1)}(y-2)^2+1

h = 1, k =2, and f = -2

The directrix is x = 4

Thus, the vertex of the parabola is (1, 2), focus (-2, 2), and directrix x = 4.

Convert 750ft to metre
Angelina_Jolie [31]
One meter is composed of approximately 3.28 feet. To convert a certain measure in feet to meter, divide the number by 3.28. From the given above, using dimensional analysis and the conversion factor,
 
                      (750 ft) x (1 m/ 3.28 ft) = 228.66 m

Thus, 750 ft is approximately 228.66 in meters.
