Answer:

The sides are increased by a percentage of 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the length side of the original square

y ----> the length side of the increased square

we have

$\frac{x}{y} =\frac{4}{5}$

$y=\frac{5}{4}x$

$y=1.25x$

the increase is calculated by subtracting x from y

$y-x=1.25x-x=0.25x$

Remember that

$0.25=\frac{25}{100}=25\%$

therefore

The sides are increased by a percentage of 25%

What is the distance between (1,-5) and (-3,6)

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\sqrt{137}\approx11.7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a distance between two points:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

We have two points (1, -5) and (-3, 6). substitute:

$d=\sqrt{(-3-1)^2+(6-(-5))^2}=\sqrt{(-4)^2+11^2}=\sqrt{16+121}=\sqrt{137}$

Calculate the volume of this regular solid.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

V= 42.41

Step-by-step explanation:

$V = \pi r^{2}\frac{h}{3}$

where r is the radius = 3 and h is the height = 4.5

$V= \pi$ × $3^{2}$ × $\frac{4.5}{3}$

V = 42.41
