$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} length&lbs\\ \cline{1-2} 0.8&20\\ x&60 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{0.8}{x}=\cfrac{20}{60}\implies \cfrac{0.8}{x}=\cfrac{1}{3}\implies 2.4=x$

2.4 because for it to stretch one pound its .04 so
.04•60=2.4

Factorise: a squared +8a -20

Vaselesa [24]

Factor out the 4 in both equations
8a^2-20^2=(2^2 times a^2 times 2)-(2^2 times 5)
therefor it is also equal to
(2a)^2 times 2-(2^2 times 5)
we can force it into a difference of 2 perfect squares which is a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
(2a√2)^2-(2√5)^2=((2a√2)-(2√5))((2a√2)+(2√5))

What would you multiply the dividend and divisor by in the following division problem so that the divisor would become a whole n

horsena [70]

Devisor is the bottom number
hmm

11.75=11 and 3/4
so times it by 4 to clear denomenator
but do it by top and bottom

23.4/11.75 times 4/4=93.6/47

so times it by 4/4

If the volume of a sphere inscribed in a cubic box is 36pi, find the surface area of the box

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Surface area of the cube = 216 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of a side of a cube = x unit

Diameter of the sphere inscribed in this cube = length of a side of the cube

Volume of the sphere = $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$
