Understanding perpendicular and parallel lines are extremely important, especially in the engineering field when building infrastructures or houses because they need to calculate how they will keep a building stable. For example, bridges we see have a lot of perpendicular and parallel lines, that's because without those the bridge can't hold itself up, it needs support from the metals that are parallel and perpendicular.

hope this helps!!

Answer:

  65.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is essentially asking the ratio of the volumes.

  Va = πr²h = π(15²)(20)

  Vb = πr²h = π(19²)(19)

The ratio of volumes is ...

  Va/Vb = π(15²)(20)/(π(19³)) = (15²)(20)/19³ ≈ 0.65607

Container B will be about 65.6% full when container A is empty.

2. Solve the system of equations using the substitution method.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 20

2x + 3(10-4x) = 20

2x + 30 - 12x = 20

combine like terms

-10x + 30 =  20

        -30      -30

-10x = -10

divide both sides by -10

x = 1
