A.) Since there are no restrictions as to the dimensions of the candle except that their volumes must equal 1 cubic foot and that each must be a cylinder, we have the freedom to decide the candles' dimensions. 

I decided to have the candles equal in volume. So, 1 cubic foot divided by 8 gives us 0.125 cubic foot, 216 in cubic inches.

With each candle having a volume of 216 cubic inches, I assign a radius to each: 0.5 in, 1.0 in, 1.5 in, 2.0 in, 2.5 in, 3.0 in, 3.5 in, and 4.0 in. Then, using the formula of the volume of a cylinder, which is:

V=pi(r^2)(h)

we then solve the corresponding height per candle. Let us let the value of pi be 3.14.

Hence, we will have the following heights (expressed to the nearest hundredths) for each of the radius: for 

r=2.5 in: h=11.01 in
r=3.0 in: h= 7.64 in
r=3.5 in: h= 5.62 in
r=4.0 in: h= 4.30 in
r=4.5 in: h= 3.40 in
r=5.0 in: h= 2.75 in
r=5.5 in: h= 2.27 in
r=6.0 in: h= 1.91 in

b. each candle should sell for $15.00 each

($20+$100)/8=$15.00

c. yes, because the candles are priced according to the volume of wax used to make them, which in this case, is just the same for all sizes

What is an equation of the line that passes through
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

For the perpendicular of an equation you need to flip the fraction and change the sign from positive to negative or if it's negative to positive. 3/2 is changed to -2/3 which when multiplied by -2 gives you 4/3 and 4/3+5/3 is equal to 3.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Madison spent x hours on her social project,

then the number of hours spent on other project will be 1/3 of x=x/3

Total hours spend on all projects will be the addition of hours spent on social project and hour spent on other project, i.e

x + x/3 = 4x/3

It si given that this is 8 hours, therefore

4x/3=8

Multiplying both sides by 3:

4x=24

Dividing across board by 4:

x= 6 hours
