Given Information: 
- Rate of height = 2 cm/min
- Rate of area = 12 cm^2/min
- Initial height = 4 cm
- Initial area = 12 cm^2
Calculation:
- Find Initial base using initial height and area:
     Since A = 1/2 * b * h; Therefore, 12 = 1/2 * b * 4
     Solve for b: 12 = 2b; Therefore, b = 6
- Find rate of base:
     after 1 minute: height increased 2 cm, area increased 12 cm^2
     which is: height = 6, area = 24 <-- (using these, find base) 
     24 = 1/2 * b * 6; 24 = 3b; <u>b = 8</u> (after 1 min)
     Therefore, since base changed from 6 to 8 the rate is <u>2 cm/min</u>

Answer: 2 cm/min

Which unit of measure would be appropriate for the volume of a sphere with a radius of 2 meters?
Goryan [66]

The volume of a figure is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface, or simpler the number of cubes required to fill it completely.

The basic unit of volume in the metric system is the liter (l).There are 1000 liters per cubic meter.

Howeever, the unit of measure that would be appropriate for the volume of a sphere with a radius of 2 meters is cubic meters. Correct answer: C

Annie was given two pieces of information and must write the equation of a line crosses the y-axis at the point (0,5) and has a
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

D) y = -4x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know a point and a slope.  The point is a special point.  It is the y intercept because x = 0.  We can use the equation for a line in slope intercept form

y= mx+b

where m is the slope  = -4

and b is the y intercept = 5

y = -4x+5

At a brick laying contest, each layer of bricks is expected to be of an inch tall. Three contestants recorded the fraction of la
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

First, determine the number of inches each contestant made by multiplying the fraction of layers by the height of each layer.

Next, determine what fraction of an hour each contestant took to make their fraction of layers by writing each number of minutes as a fraction of 60 minutes.

Last, determine each contestant’s unit rate in inches per hour.

So, Zeke's unit rate was  of an inch per hour.

Melanie's unit rate was  of an inch per hour.

To find out how much greater Zeke's unit rate was than Xavier's unit rate, subtract Xavier's unit rate from Zeke's unit rate.

Therefore, Zeke's unit rate was  of an inch per hour greater than Xavier's unit rate.
