Answer:

78% (to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cube = (length )³

Let the length of the cube = y

Original volume = y³

if the length is decreased by 40%, then new length = 1- (40% of y)

                                                                                     = 1-0.4y

                                                                                     =  0.6%

New volume (after decreasing the length) = (0.6y)³

                                                                      =  0.216‬‬y³

% Volume decrease = (Original volume - New volume)/Original Volume x 100%

                                 =  (y³ - 0.216‬‬y³)/ y³  x 100%

                                 = 0.784y³/y³  x 100%

                                 =78.4%

                                ≈78%

Answer:

  78.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

After the decrease, the edge length is 0.6 of what it was. Then the volume is 0.6^3 = 0.216 of what it was. That's a decrease of ...

  1 - 0.216 = 0.784 = 78.4%

The volume of the cube has decreased 78.4%.

Please solve for me it's urgent. A rectangle has 10 and 6cm each. find the area of a square with the same perimeter as that of t
elena55 [62]

Answer:

64 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly,let us lay down the clues;

So, we have been given the Length and Width of the rectangle.

Rectangle;

<em>Length</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>10</em><em> </em><em>cm</em>

<em>Width</em><em>=</em><em>6</em><em> </em><em>cm</em>

We know that

Perimeter= 2L + 2W

Perimeter= 10+10+6+6

Perimeter =32 cm

In the questionnaire, it is mentioned that a square has the same perimeter as the rectangle. That means, the perimeter of the square is similar to the one of the rectangle which is 32 cm.

So,

Perimeter of square =32 cm

Length of one side of the square =32÷4

=8 cm

Area= L × W

Area= 8 cm× 8 cm

Area= 64 cm²

Hope it helps.

Does the table represent an exponential function? Explain.
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

No, because as the x-values are increasing by a constant amount, the y-values are not being multiplied by a constant amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a set of ordered pairs of the form (x, y)

If a function is exponential then the ratio between the consecutive values of y, is always equal to a constant.

This means that:

\frac{y_2}{y_1}=\frac{y_3}{y_2}=\frac{y_4}{y_3}=by1y2=y2y3=y3y4=b

This is: y_2=by_1y2=by1

Now we have this set of points {(-1, -5), (0, -3), (1, -1), (2, 1)}

Observe that:

\begin{gathered}\frac{y_2}{y_1}=\frac{-3}{-5}=\frac{3}{5}\\\\\frac{y_3}{y_2}=\frac{-1}{-3}=\frac{1}{3}\\\\\frac{3}{5}\neq \frac{1}{3}\end{gathered}y1y2=−5−3=53y2y3=−3−1=3153=31

Then the values of y are not multiplied by a constant amount "b"
