Ghella [55]3 years ago

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write ratios to help us solve

4x            12 +3

---------- = ------------

3x+1                 12

Using cross products

4x*12 = (3x+1) * (15)

48x = 45x +15

Subtract 45x from each side

3x =15

Divide by 3

3x/3 =15/3

x=5

What reclusive formula can be used to represent the sequence 2, 6, 10, 14, 18
kaheart [24]

Answer:

a(n) = a(n-1) + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a(1) = 2    The first term is 2

a(n) = a(n-1) + 4     We add 4 to the previous term or n-1

So, we get...

a(n) = a(n-1) + 4

a(1) = 2

a(2) = a(2-1) + 4    2(1) +4   = 6

a(3) = a(3-1) +4      3(2) + 4   = 10

and so on and so forth. I hope this helps.

Please help me with these questions!! <br> Thank you!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Left Frame

<u>Formula</u>

Area of Hexagon = 3*sqrt(3)*a^2 / 2

Area of a Square = a^2

In both cases a is a side length

<u>Givens</u>

A = 384*sqrt(3)

<u>Solution</u>

384*sqrt(3) = 3*sqrt(3)*a^2 / 2     Divide by sqrt(3) on both sides.

384 = 3 * a^2 / 2                           Multiply by 2

768 = 3 * a^2                                Divide by 3

256 = a^2                                     Take the square root of both sides

a = 16

Each side of the square will be = a

The area of the square = a^2

a^2 = 16^2 = 256

Center Frame

I don't know how to expand the question so that I'm doing some sort of step-by-step explanation. The question just means what does a equal when t = 0

The answer is 15.

Right Frame

The tangents meet the circumference of the circle at a 90o angle when the radius is connected by the point of  contact. Call the central angle (LON) = x

The two tangents and the two radii form a kite which is a quadrilateral.

All quadrilaterals have 4 angles that add up to 360.

x + 90 + 90 + 60 = 360           Combine the like terms on the left

x + 240 = 360                           Subtract 240 from both sides

x = 360 - 240

x = 120

The length of the arc is given by (Central angle / 360) * Circumference

x is the central angle so the central angle = 120

Length = (120 / 360) * 96

Length = 1/3 * 96

Length = 32

A can is 3" in diameter and 7" tall. A shipper wants to ship cans in a box with 2 layers. 4 rows, and 5 cans per row. The box mu
GenaCL600 [577]
Given,

Diameter of the can = 3"
Height of the can = 7"
Looking at how the cans are arranged in the box, that is 4 x 5 (4 rows of cans [width] with 5 cans in each row [length]) 

The length of the box (L) = 5 cans multiplied by each can's diameter = 5 × 3" = 15"
The width of the box (W) = 4 cans multiplied by each can's diameter) = 4 × 3" = 12"
The height of the box (H) = 2 layers of cans = 2 cans multiplied by each can's height = 2 × 7" = 14"

Therefore, the volume of the box = Length (L) × Width (W) × Height (H) = 15" × 12" × 14" = 2520 inches³

Volume of the box = 2520 inches³

=====================================================

There is also an alternative method to calculate the volume of the box:

Consider each can. Although the can is cylindrical, each can would occupy the space required by a cuboid. 

So, for each Cuboid space, the diameter of the can will be the length and width of the cuboid and the height of the can will be the height of the cuboid.

Therefore, for each can,

Length (L) = 3"
Width (W) = 3"
Height (H) = 7"

Volume occupied by one can (that is a cuboid) = L × W × H =  3" × 3" ×7" = 63 inches³
There are 40 such cans in total inside the box; therefore,

Volume of the box = 40 × 63 inches³ = 2520 inches³
