The volume of a sphere is (4/3) (pi) (radius cubed).

The volume of one sphere divided by the volume of another one is

 (4/3) (pi) (radius-A)³ / (4/3) (pi) (radius-B)³

Divide top and bottom by (4/3) (pi) and you have     (radius-A)³ / (radius-B)³
and that's exactly the same as
                                                         ( radius-A / radius-B )  cubed.

I went through all of that to show you that the ratio of the volumes of two spheres
is the cube of the ratio of their radii.

Earth radius = 6,371 km
Pluto radius = 1,161 km

Ratio of their radii = (6,371 km) / (1,161 km)

Ratio of their volumes =  ( 6,371 / 1,161 ) cubed = about <u>165.2</u>

Note: 
I don't like the language of the question where it asks "How many spheres...".
This seems to be asking how many solid cue balls the size of Pluto could be
packed into a shell the size of the Earth, and that's not a simple solution.
The solution I have here is simply the ratio of volumes ... how many Plutos
can fit into a hollow Earth if the Plutos are melted and poured into the shell.
That's a different question, and a lot easier than dealing with solid cue balls.

I will give 30 points please don’t mess around. Write an informal proof for why the construction of an equilateral triangle work
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

An equilateral triangle is one with all three sides the same length. It begins with a given line segment which is the length of each side of the desired equilateral triangle. ... It is similar to the 60 degree angle construction, because the interior angles of an equilateral triangle are all 60 degrees.

What is 140 rounded to the nearest hundredth
muminat

I mean, there is no decimal place, so you can’t determine to the nearest hundredth place.

For the hundreds place, it would round to 100, though.

Ipatiy [6.2K]
X = 36/5
Or x = 7.2


21 + x = 6x - 15
21 = 6x - 15 - x
21 = 5x - 15
21 + 15 = 5x
36 = 5x
36/5 = x
