The answer that I got was side WX = 12 inches

It says that WY is congruent to XY which means that they are the same. That means that XY is also 3m-4. It also says that the perimeter of the triangle is 76 inches.

With this information I set up an equation:

3m-4 + 3m-4 +m = 76

(The number on the right side is the perimeter given to us in the problem and the numbers on the left side are the 3 side lengths).

I combined like terms on the left side and ended up with:

7m-8=76

I added 8 to both sides of the equation and got 7m=84.

Finally I divided both sides by 7 and got m=12

m is equivalent to side WX..

Hope this helps!

The radius AND height of a cylinder are each doubled. What is the new volume?

Naya [18.7K]

The volume of a cylinder is given by

$V = \pi hr^2$

Let $h\mapsto 2h$ and $r\mapsto 2r$

The new volume becomes

$V = \pi(2h)(2r)^2 = \pi\cdot 2h \cdot 4r^2 = 8\pi hr^2$

So, the new volume is 8 times the original volume. In fact, volume scales linearly with the height and quadratically with the radius.

Richard and Teo have a combined age of 37. Richard is 4 years older than twice Teo's age. How old are Richard and Teo?

valkas [14]

Answer:

Teo is 11 years old and Richard is 26 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let R be the age of Richard and T be the age of Teo.

First set up the equations:

The combined age of Teo and Richard is 37:

R+T=37

Richard is four years old than twice Teo's age:

R=2T+4

Then, solve the equations:

Substitute (2) to (1) and solve for T:

(2T+4)+T=37

3T=11

T=11

Solve for R using (2):

R=2(11)+4

R=22+4

R=26
