Answer: 37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the volume of the smaller prism, and we know that the larger prism has a volume of 2400 cubic feet. We also know that the scale factor of the two prisms is 1:4. You may be tempted to set 1/4 equal to x/2400, but that is not what you should do. Remember that the volume ratio is a^{3} / b^{3}, if the similarity ratio is a/b. Now, with this in mind, we know that the cube root of 2400 is 13.388659. Now, we can set 1/4 equal to x/13.388659. Solve for x by cross multiplying. 13.388659=4x. Divide both sides by 4. x=3.34716475. Then, we need to find the volume of the smaller prism, so we find the third power of x, or 3.34716475, which is approximately 37.5, which is your solution.

Answer:

600 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the scale factor 1:4, we know that the smaller prism will be 4 times smaller than the larger prism.

We can calculate the volume of the smaller prism by dividing 2,400 by 4.

2,400/4 = 600

The angles in a triangle are in the ratio of 5:7:8. Find the measure of each angle.
hammer [34]
In a triangle, the three interior angles always add to 180°

5x + 7x + 8x = 180
20x = 180
x = 180/20
x = 9

m∠1 = 5x = 5*9 = 45°

m∠2 = 7x = 7*9 = 63°

m∠3 = 8x = 8*9 = 72°

Answer:
45°, 63° and 72°

What constant term should be used to complete the square? x 2 - 5x + _____ = 7
amm1812
The quadratic equation in its generic form is:
 ax2 + bx + c
 To complete squares we must add the following term:
 (b / 2) ^ 2
 The equation is:
 ax2 + bx + c + (b / 2) ^ 2
 We have the following equation:
 x ^ 2 - 5x + k = 7
 By completing squares we have:
 x ^ 2 - 5x + (-5/2) ^ 2 = 7 + (-5/2) ^ 2
 Rewriting:
 x ^ 2 - 5x + 6.25 = 7 + 6.25
 Answer:
 
A constant term should be used to complete the square is:

All students = 700
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Total number = 700
  • Off grid class = 450
  • Online class = 320
  • Both = 275

<u>Based on the given we find the following</u>

1) <u>Off-grid class only:</u>

  • 450 - 275 = 175

3) <u>Online class only:</u>

  • 320 - 275 = 45

2) <u>None of the classes:</u>

  • 700 - (175 + 275 + 45) = 205

4) <u>Not online:</u>

  • 700 - 320 = 380

5) <u>Not off-grid:</u>

  • 700 - 450 = 250
