24/8 = 3
the 24 to 8 gear = 3:1 ratio which is greater than 2:1
B I think I’m not sure because you did not include the type of prism... rectangular triangular? Also if your talking about lateral surface area! so 400mm squared b I think
begin by pulling 2 out of the numerator using the distributive property.
numerator: 2(16x^4 - 25) and now factor
numerator: 2(4x^2 - 5)(4x^2 + 5)
Now go to the denominator. It looks messy but it will break down.
Pull out 4x^2 for the first two terms and 5 for the last 2 terms. Use the distributive property.
denominator: 4x^2(x - 3) - 5(x - 3) now x - 3 is the common term.
denominator: (x - 3)(4x^2 - 5)
Put the two results together.
After canceling out 4x^2 - 5 on both the numerator and the denominator, you are left with.

Answer:
2.8592933268
Step-by-step explanation:
tan(72) = 8.8/x
=> x = 8.8/tan(72) = 2.859293326849
Look at the table for each type of bird. 5x=15. 6x=18. 10x=30. What would you multiply each of those by to get your answer and find the difference? 5x=15; x= 3. It is the same for each number. So the difference is by 3. I think if I understand this correctly, that would be how you do it. Does this help?
