Answer:

2 24" X 24" square cakes are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved by proportions.

Area of a square:

The area of a square of side l is given by:

$A = l^2$

8" X 8" square cake serves 8 people

Thus:

$A = 8*8 = 64$

Area of 64 serves 8 people, so for 1 people, an area of 64/8 = 8 is needed.

144 people

The total area needed is:

$A = 144*8 = 1152$

How many 24" X 24" square cakes?

24*24 = 576

1 cake - 576

x cakes - 1152

Applying cross multiplication:

1152/576 = 2

2 24" X 24" square cakes are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for surface area of a cylinder:

$SA=2\pi r^{2} +2\pi rh$

Plug in values and solve for the radius:

$180\pi =2\pi r^{2} +2\pi r(9)\\$

Divide both sides by $2\pi$

$90=r^{2} +r(9)$

Subtract 90 from both sides

$0=r^{2} +9r-90$

Use the quadratic equation to find the roots

$x=(-b$ ± $\sqrt{b^2-4ac})*\frac{1}{2a}$ (sorry for formatting, Brainly doesn't

allow equations with ± in them)

$x=\frac{-9+\sqrt{9^2-4*1*90} }{2(1)}$ and $x=\frac{-9-\sqrt{9^2-4*1*90} }{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{(-9+\sqrt{81+360})}{2}$ and $x=\frac{(-9-\sqrt{81+360})}{2}$

$x=\frac{(-9+\sqrt{441})}{2}$ and $x=\frac{(-9-\sqrt{441})}{2}$

$x=\frac{(-9+21)}{2}$ and $x=\frac{(-9-21)}{2}$

$x=\frac{12}{2}$ and $x=\frac{-30}{2}$

$x=6$ and $x=-15$

We can't have a negative radius, so that leaves us with r=6 in.

Answer:

22.74 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven data

Felix's washing machine uses 6 gallons of water

we are told that A gallon is approximately 3.79 liters

Hence if a gallon is approximately 3.79 liters

then 6 gallons of water will be x liters

cross multiply we have

x= 6*3.79

x= 22.74 liters

Hence 6 gallon will be 22.74 liters
