A wire is first bent into the shape of a square. Each side of the square is 6cm long. Then the wire is unbent and reshaped into

a rectangle. If the length of the rectangle is 9cm, what is its width?

Hi there!

Assuming a perfect square: we know there are 4 sides in a square, and all of them have equal length. This means that every side of the square is 6 cm, and with 4 sides, that would make an overall length / perimeter of 6 + 6 + 6 + 6, or 6*4, which would equal 24 cm. This means that our wire must be 24 cm long.

Now, for the rectangle. We know with rectangles that they also have 4 sides, and in pairs of 2 in terms of length (2 of the sides have the same length, and the other two have the same length). This means we know there are 2 sides that are 9 cm, which would mean 18 cm in total. This is the total amount of wire taken up by the length, but we are looking for the width. Thus, we can see how much wire is leftover not taken up by the length by subtracting 18 from 24:

24-18=6

Now, we see that the two sides that make up the width are 6 cm long. As those two sides are equal length, we can divide 6 cm into two equal parts to see the width.

6/2 = 3 cm.

Thus, the width of the rectangle is 3 cm.

Hope this helps!

Find the inverse of each function.
Novosadov [1.4K]

as you should know, to get the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables and then solve for "y".

\stackrel{f(x)}{y}=\sqrt{x}-5\implies \stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{x=\sqrt{y}-5}\implies x+5=\sqrt{y} \implies (x+5)^2=y \\\\\\ \stackrel{F~O~I~L}{(x+5)(x+5)}=y\implies x^2+10x+25=\stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y}

a solid consists of cylinder surmounted by a right circular cone. The height of the cone is 2h. If the volume of the solid is 3
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

height of cylinder = 4/3 h

Step-by-step explanation:

The solid has a cylinder surmounted with a cone .Therefore, the volume of the solid is the sum of the cone and the cylinder.

volume of the solid = volume of cylinder + volume of cone

volume of the solid = πr²h + 1/3πr²h

let

height of the cylinder = H

recall

the height of the cone = 2h

volume of the solid = πr²h + 1/3πr²h

3(1/3πr²2h) = πr²H + 1/3πr²2h

2πr²h = πr²H + 2/3 πr²h

πr²(2h) = πr²(H + 2/3 h)

divide both sides by πr²

2h = H + 2/3 h

2h - 2/3h = H

H = 6h - 2h/3

H = 4/3 h

height of cylinder = 4/3 h
