Answer:

The answer to your question is: length = 14 ft; width = 3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Area = 42 ft²

length = 8 + 2w

w = width = ?

length = ?

Formula

Area = length x width = l x w

Substitution

                     42 = (2w + 8)w

                     42 = 2w² + 8w

                     2w² + 8w - 42 = 0

                                                                  Dividing by 2

                      w² + 4w - 21 = 0                 Factorize

                     (w + 7) (w - 3) = 0

                     w1 = -7                      w2 = 3

     It's not possible to have negative widths

So the answer is w = 3 ft

      length = 2(3) + 8

      length = 6 + 8

      length = 14 ft

How does the volume of a sphere compare to that of the volume of a cylinder? What would you say the scale factor for Vol sphere:
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The volume of a sphere is 2/3 times the volume of a similar cylinder

Scale factor : 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider a sphere of radius r. The volume of the sphere will be given as

V_{s}=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Similarly, let us consider a cylinder with its height being twice the radius of the sphere. We will have its volume given as:

V_{c}=\pi r^{2}h

but h = 2r

Hence we have

V_{c}= 2\pi r^{3}h

We can divide the two volumes to get a constant that links them together

\frac{V_{s}}{V_{c}}=\frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}}{2\pi r^{3}h}

this will give us 2/3

Hence the scale factor for Vol sphere: Vol cylinder is 2/3

Whats x? i don’t understand
rewona [7]

Answer:

The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try! A variable doesn't have to be "x", it could be "y", "w" or any letter, name or symbol. See: Variable.
