Answer:

8∛4 ≈ 12.70 . . . . cm deep

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of volumes of similar cones is the cube of the ratio of their linear dimensions. That means the height of a cone with 1/2 the volume will be ...

∛(1/2)

times the height of the full cone.

The water will be ...

(16 cm)(∛(1/2)) = 8∛4 ≈ 12.70 . . . . cm deep

Applying the midsegment theorem, the value of x = 5

Recall:

The midsegment theorem of a triangle states that the length of the mid-segment (DE) which is parallel to the third side (AC), is half the length of the third side AC of triangle BAC.

Thus:

DE = 1/2(AC)

Substitute

2x - 3 = 1/2(x + 9)

Multiply both sides by 2

2(2x - 3) = x + 9

4x - 6 = x + 9

Combine like terms

4x - x = 6 + 9

3x = 15

Divide both sides by 3

x = 5

Therefore, applying the midsegment theorem, the value of x = 5

Explain why in the Venn Diagram example the number who liked Hip Hop plus the number who liked Country was NOT the same as the n

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Suppose that you have 50 people that like hip hop and 50 people that like country.

Now, the union of those sets would be 50 + 50 = 100 people, right?

Well, this may be incorrect, because in the 50 people that like hip hop, we may have, for example, 10, that also like country (this means that in the 50 people that like country, we also have 10 that like hip hop).

Then when we are adding 50 + 50 we are counting those 10 people in both groups, and that is why the direct addition may be different than the union of both sets.

In more technical words, the union of two sets is equal to the addition of the elements of both sets minus the elements in the intersection of both sets (in our prior example, the 10 people that like hip hop and country music are the intersection of both sets)
