If there are only two colors (let's say blue and red), here's what can happen:
sock #1 is blue
#2 is either blue or red. If blue, it matches #1 and you have a pair.
if red, go to #3
#3-either blue or red. If blue, matches #1. If red, matches #2.

OR sock #1 is red... then just reverse the colors. Basically, if you have three things that can only be in two groups, then even if two of them are different, the last one has to match one of them.

A point is reflected across the x-axis. The new point is (7.5,6). What is the distance between these two points?
blagie [28]
Because it was reflected across the x axis, the distance between the two points is twice the distance of the old point from the x axis, and the distance from the old point from the x axis equals the distance from the new point to the x axis. The distance from the x axis is the absolute value of the x=y value. 7.5 is the y value, meaning the point is 7.5 units away from y=0, the x axis. The new point is twice this from the old point. 7.5 x 2 = 15. The new point is 15 units away from the old point.

I just need help with first 2! Show work please it’s due soon and round answers to the nearest tenth !!!
natima [27]

Answer:

1. To find the volume of a cylinder you'll need to use the formula V = pi(r)^2(h)

V = pi(4)^2(6)

V = 301.59

Rounded* = 301.6

2. A beach ball is a sphere, so we're going to use the formula 4/3pi(r)^3

4/3pi(18)^3

D =  24429.02

Rounded* = 24429.0

I cant read the last one completely, hope this helps.

The 2 in the middle is the one that I needed help <br> Please
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The equation is p=34a+12, and a=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is all of the sides added together

p=12a+6a+8+6a+8+10a-4

Combine like-terms

p=34a+12

Solve for a by making p equal to 250

250=34a+12

Subtract 12 from both sides

238=34a

Divide both sides by 34

7=a
