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!

Answer:

The inequality for this is 12.5x + 55 ≥ 160

and the amount of visits they need for free movie tickets is 8 visits

Step-by-step explanation:

if you subtract both sides by 55, you'll get

12.5x ≥ 105

and if you divide both sides by 12.5, you'll get 8.4, or 8

The sphere is _____ cubic centimeters bigger than the cube. (Round to the nearest cubic centimeter.)

Misha Larkins [42]

ANSWER

The sphere is 10762 cubic centimeters bigger than the cube.

EXPLANATION

We want to find the difference in the volumes of the sphere and the cube.

To do this, we have to find the volumes of the sphere and cube and subtract that of the cube from the sphere.

The volume of a sphere is given as:

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

where r = radius

The radius of the sphere is 15 centimeters. Therefore, the volume of the sphere is:

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{3}\cdot\pi\cdot15^3 \\ V\approx14137\operatorname{cm}^3 \end{gathered}$

The volume of a cube is given as:

$V=s^3$

where s = length of the side

The length of the side of the cube is 15 centimeters. Therefore, the volume of the cube is:

$\begin{gathered} V=15^3 \\ V=3375\operatorname{cm}^3 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the difference in the volumes of the sphere and cube is:

$\begin{gathered} V_d=V_s-V_c \\ V_d=14137-3375 \\ V_d=10762\operatorname{cm}^3 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the sphere is 10762 cubic centimeters bigger than the cube.

What is the square root of -372

wel

Answer:

19.2873015 (Done by a calculator) <---- could be wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

And fun fact:

Negative numbers don't have real square roots since a square is either positive or 0. The square roots of numbers that are not perfect square are members of irrational numbers. This means that they can't be written as the quotient of two integers.

Hope it helps!
