First we have to find the slope of the given line. We do that by puttiing the equation into slope-interept form. or solving it for y (same thing). 2x + 4y = -6. We move the 2x over by subtraction to get 4y = -2x - 6. Divide both sides by 4 to get the slope-intercept form we are seeking. y=-\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{3}{2}. The slope that is perpendicular to that slope of -1/2 is the opposite reciprocal. Therefore, the perpendicular slope is a positive 2/1 or just 2. If this new line goes through the point (2, 5), it goes through the x value of 2 and the y value of 5. We will use those values along with the slope of 2 to solve for b in our slope-intercept equation. That looks like this: 5=2(2)+b and b = 1. That means our new equation, the one that is perpendicular to the given line, has an equation of y = 2x + 1.

The diameter of a sphere is 2,160 mm. The diameter of a second sphere is 7,520 mm. Approximately how many times larger is the vo
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Approximately 42 times larger

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of a sphere is 2,160 mm.

The diameter of a second sphere is 7,520 mm.

To see how many times larger is the diameter of second sphere is than the diameter of the second sphere, we divide to get:

k =  \frac{7520}{2160}

k = 3.481

To see how many times larger the volume is, we cube both sides

{k}^{3}  =  {3.481}^{3}

This implies that

{k}^{3}  = 42.181

Therefore the volume of the second sphere is approximately 42 times larger

The radius of a circular plate is 12 centimeters. What is the area, in square centimeters, of this plate? Write your Anwer using
lesya [120]

Answer:

The area of circular plate is <u>144π square centimeters</u>.

Step-by-step explanation :

<h3><u>Solution</u> :</h3>

Here, we have given that the radius of circular plate is 12 centimeters.

So, finding the area of circular plate by substituting the values in the formula :

\longrightarrow{\pmb{\sf{Area_{(Circle)} = \pi{r}^{2}}}}

\longrightarrow{\sf{Area_{(Circle)} = \pi{(12)}^{2}}}

\longrightarrow{\sf{Area_{(Circle)} = \pi{(12 \times 12)}}}

\longrightarrow{\sf{Area_{(Circle)} = \pi{(144)}}}

\longrightarrow{\sf{Area_{(Circle)} = \pi \times 144}}

\longrightarrow{\sf{Area_{(Circle)} = 144\pi}}

\star{\underline{\boxed{\frak{\purple{Area_{(Circle)} = 144\pi\:  {cm}^{2}}}}}}

Hence, the area of circular plate is 144π square centimeters.
