for example

2/3 the reciprocal is 3/2

and when you divide 2/3 you have to "flip" it and it is 3/2

then you still have to multiply the same thing

The standard formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr2h. If the cylinder is scaled proportionally by a factor of k, its vo

Lelechka [254]

So, r' (the new r) becomes kr, and h'=h*k,

so V' = pi * (r')^2*h' = pi * (r*k)^2*(h*k) = pi*r^2*h*k^3 = V * k^3

I don't understand this question, picture attached.

We can find this using the formula for arc length (where $r$ is the radius of the circle and $\theta$ is the central angle in radians):

$\textrm{Arc Length} = r\theta$

In our problem, we are given $12 = 8\theta$ . This means that:

$\theta = \dfrac{12}{8} = \boxed{\frac{3}{2}}$

The measure of the angle is 1.5.

The atmospheric pressure on an object decreases as altitude increases. If a is the height (in km) above sea level, then the pres

seraphim [82]

Answer:

373.8mmHg

Step-by-step explanation:

a =height (in km) above sea level,

the pressure P(a) (in mmHg) is approximated given as

P(a) = 760e–0.13a .

To determine the atmospheric pressure at 5.458 km, then we will input into the equation

P(5.458km) = 760e–0.13a .

= 760e^(-0.13×5.458)

=760e^-(0.70954)

= 760×0.4919

=373.8mmHg

Therefore, the atmospheric pressure at 5.458 km is 373.8mmHg

The difference between a number divided by 3 and 4 is 20.

Alexxandr [17]

Let, the number be "a"

Now, according to the question,
$\frac{a}{3} - 4=20$

$\frac{a-12}{3} =20$

$a-12 =20*3$

$a-12=60$

$a = 60 + 12$

$a = 72$

So, the number is 72
