Answer:
Cathy was right ( kinda)
Step-by-step explanation:
let the dimension of the small one be 2a : 2b : 2c
then the dimension of the big one be 3a : 3b : 3c
volume of small: 2a*2b*2c = 8 abc
volume of big: 3a*3b*3c = 27 abc
volume ratio: big/ small = 27/8 = 3.375
-> big one hold 237.5% more than small
-> Cathy was right ( kinda)

Answer
b. 32 sq. unit
Step-by-step Explanation
The area of the trapezoid is given by
We substitute the given values into the formula to obtain;
Simplify
Hence the area is
9*(x-1)=2x-7
First get rid of your parenthesis by distributing.
9x-9=2x-7
Then all you have to do is isolate the variable
9x=2x+2
7x=2
so x= 2/7
Answer:
9600
Step-by-step explanation:
y varies inversely with the square of x
y=k/(x^2)
for some non-zero constant k
y=6 when x=4
6=k/(4^2)
k=96
y=96/(x^2)
x=0.1
y=96/(0.1^2)
y=9600
