Answer:

48 sq. in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Different figures (rectangular prisms, cylinders, triangular prisms etc.) have different volume formula. But what formula of "volume" do they come from??

It is:

Volume = Area of Base * Height

Note: we didn't specify any Area of Base formula because it depends. If base is circle, the area is different than if base was suppose a square. But this is the general formula of volume.

Now,

Given

Height = 18 inch

Volume = 864 cubic inch

We can write:

Volume = Area of Base * Height

864 = Area of Base * 18

Thus,

Area of Base = 864/18 = 48 sq. in.

This is what we are wanting, "area of base" (irrespective of the shape).

Answer:

To answer this question, you need to makes the unit of the smartphone screen same. In this case, phone A is using decimal and phone B is using a fraction. You can use which was easier.

Let's try to use decimal. Then you need to convert phone B fraction width into decimal width. The calculation would be: 5cm + 1/3cm= 5 cm + 0.333cm= 5.333cm

From here it clear that phone B has a wider screen than phone A.

Determine the period of the function g(x) = (cos ;)

Romashka [77]

Answer:

6 $\pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

The period of a sinusoidal function in the form a * cos (b (x + h)) + m is $\frac{2\pi }{|b|}$ . Therefore, we can see that "b" in g(x) is 1/3 and 1/3 substituted into $\frac{2\pi }{|b|}$ is 2 $\pi$ /1/3 which is 6 $\pi$ .
