Answer:

Option D.

3 equations with 3 variables

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of a point in space must necessarily have 3 components. One to describe the distance on the x axis, another to describe the distance on the y axis to the point, and a third to describe the distance on the z axis.

If we have three variables, then 3 equations are needed to solve the system. With less than 3 equations it would be impossible to solver the system.

Therefore the correct answer is option D.

3 equations with 3 variables

12 spheres of the same size are made from melting a solid cylinder of 1 cm diameter and 2 cm height. Find the diameter of each s
mars1129 [50]

The answer is: The diameter is 4 centimeters.

The explanation  is shown below:

1. The volume of the cylinder is:

Vc=r^{2}h \pi

Where r is the radius (r=\frac{16cm}{2}=8cm) and h is the height (h=2cm).

Then:

Vc=(8cm)^{2}}(2cm)\pi\\Vc=128\pi

2. The total volume of the 12 spheres is:

Vs=12(\frac{4}{3}r^{3}\pi)\\Vs=16r^{3}\pi

3. The volume of the cylinder and the total volume of all the 12 spheres, are equal, therefore:

Vc=Vs\\128\pi=16r^{3}\pi

4. Now, you must solve for the radius:

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{128\pi}{16\pi}}\\r=2cm

5. The diameter is:

d=2r\\d=2(2cm)\\d=4cm

matrenka [14]

Answer:

$75.08

Step-by-step explanation:

x over 57.75 = 30 over 100

57.75 * 30

1732.5 / 100

17.325

57.75 + 17.325

75.075

Simplify = $75.08
