Answer:

Your friend is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that your friend says that you must always line up objects at the zero on a ruler. Your cousin says it does not matter.

We need to decide who is correct.

When we measure the length of any object we have to line up objects at the zero on a ruler, so that mark on the rules along the other end of the object represents the length of the object.

Let we have a pencil of length 5 cm.

If we place the rules on 0, then 5 is the mark on the rules along the other end of the pencil. So, height  of the pencil is 5 cm.

If we place the rules on 1, then 6 is the mark on the rules along the other end of the pencil. So, height  of the pencil is 6 cm, which is not correct.

Therefore, your friend is correct.

The total volume of two spheres is 10π cubic units. The ratio of the
dlinn [17]
4 r1 ² π : 4 r2² π = 4 : 9
r1² : r2² = 4 : 9
r1 : r2 = 2 : 3
r2 = 3 r1/2   ( r - radius of the smaller sphere )
10 π = 4/3 r³ π + 4/3 ( 3 r/2 ) ³ π    /  : π/3
30 = 4 r³  + 4 * 27 r³/8
30 = 4 r³ + 27 r³/2    / * 2
60 = 35 r³
r³ = 60 / 35 = 12/7
V ( Smaller ) = 4/3 r³ π = 4/3 * 12 / 7 π = 16/7 π = 2.286 π cubic units

Find the center of the circle whose equation is (x+15)2+(y-20)2=100
Sindrei [870]

Answer: (- 15, 20)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the format (x – h)² + (y – k) = r², the center of the circle is at point (h, k).

          -> The negatives in the first equation, bolded and underlined, means we change the sign of positive to negative or negative to positive.

     (x <u>-</u> h)² + (y <u>-</u> k) = r²

     (x + 15)² + (y - 20)² = 100

     (x <u>-</u> 15)² + (y <u>+</u> 20)² = 100

     (x <u>- 15</u>)² + (y + <u>20</u>)² = 100

     (- 15, 20)

We can also see this with graphing. See attached.

      The center of the circle will be at point (- 15, 20).
