Doubling the width has a greater effect on volume.
The volume of a prism is calculated by this formula:
<span>Prism Volume = Area of Base • Height
The </span><span>Area of the Base </span>is calculated by this formula:
area = n * side² / (4*tan(180 / # of sides)

So, we see that doubling the width (the side length) will increase the volume by 4 whereas doubling the height only doubles the volume.

$4=2^2\\\\4^x=(2^2)^x=(2^x)^2=7^2=49\\\\4^x-1=49-1=48$

$If\ is\ 4^{x-1},\ then\\\\4^{x-1}=\dfrac{4^x}{4}=\dfrac{49}{4}=12\frac{1}{4}$

It is given that cos 0 = -0.4209 and 0° 0 < 360°. Calculato the values of 0

beks73 [17]

Answer:

114.89 degrees

245.11 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

cos is negative in the second and third quadrant ("pointing" on the x-axis to the left).

so, the first answer for the second quadrant is

114.89 degrees.

the answer for the third quadrant is then backwards the same angles from a full 360 degree rotation

360 - 114.89 = 245.11 degrees

Could someone help, I need help with math, this is the question. The ratio of ducks to geese is 5:3. There are 50 ducks. How man

stepan [7]

ANSWER:
There are 30 geese.
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
Let y be the total no. of animals
Share= ratio/total ratio X total
50= 5/8 X y
50= 5y/8
50 X 8= 5y
y= 400/5
y= 80
The total no. of animals is 80
80-50=30 ans.
