Mathematics

Answer:

y = 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y is directly proportional to x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition y = 35 when x = 140, then

35 = 140k ( divide both sides by 140 )

0.25 = k

y = 0.25x ← equation of proportion

When x = 70, then

y = 0.25 × 70 = 17.5

$2x^2+4=20\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 4\ from\ both\ sides\\\\2x^2=16\ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\x^2=8\iff x=\pm\sqrt8\\----------------------------\\\sqrt8=\sqrt{4\cdot2}=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt2=2\cdot\sqrt2=2\sqrt2\ \ \ |use\ \sqrt{a\cdot b}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\-----------------------------\\therefore\ your\ answer\ is\ -2\sqrt2\ and\ 2\sqrt2\to\boxed{a\ and\ c}$

How do you find the base area of a rectangular prism and a cylinder? Please help

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 'base' of a rectangular prism refers to only one side of the rectangular prism, which is a rectangle.

The formula for the area of a rectangle is as follows:

$A=lw$

Where A = area, l = length, and w = width.

The 'base' of a cylinder refers to only one side of the cylinder, which is a circle.

The formula for the area of a circle is as follows:

$A=\pi r^2$

Where A = area and r = radius.

Just in case you typed your question incorrectly and were asking for surface area, here is the formula for surface area for both as well:

Rectangular prism: $A=2(wl+hl+hw)\\$

Cylinder: $A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^{2}$

Kendra has a painting canvas that is 20 inches wide by 37 inches high. She painted a red rose, which covered 50% of the canvas.

uysha [10]

The total area is:
A = (20) * (37)
A = 740 in ^ 2
We can make the following rule of three:
740in ^ 2 -----> 100%
x --------------> 50%
Clearing x we have:
x = (50/100) * (740)
x = 370 in ^ 2
Answer:
the area of the canvas which was covered by the red rose was:
x = 370 in ^ 2

Why is the grid in Example 1 a good way to<br> represent a percent?

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

percent means <u>per hundred </u>

Between the 100 squares, 60 of them are shaded

so you do 60/100

it's kind of like correcting tests, you have 100 questions, you got 80 of them right so its going to be 80/100

when you calculate percentage, you do the fraction x 100

so it's 60/100 = 0.6 x100 = 60%

hope that answers your question
