Suppose Mahkah makes a Native American lunch in a pot that is shaped like a right cylinder. If
Harman [31]

The pot can hold 5.23 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find the volume of the right cylinder shaped pot.

Diameter of the pot = 8 in

⇒ Radius = 4 in

Height = 6 in

⇒ Volume of the pot = πr²h = 3.14 × 4² × 6

                                   = 301.44 in³

  • Step 2: Convert inches to quarts.

1 in³ = 0.017316 liquid quarts

⇒ 301.44 in³ = 301.44 × 0.017316 = 5.23 quarts

Solve for x using the given diagram
blagie [28]

Answer:

<h2>x = 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Look a t the picture.

The triangles on the picture are similar.

Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{8x}{10}=\dfrac{4}{5x}              <em>cross multiply</em>

(8x)(5x)=(4)(10)

40x^2=40           <em>divide both sides by 40</em>

x^2=1\to x=\sqrt1\\\\x=1

Consider the function represented by 9x+3y= 12 with x as the independent variable. How can this function be written using
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

f(x)=-3x+4

(can't see some of your choices)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want x to be independent means we want to write it so when we plug in numbers we can just choose what we want to plug in for x but y's value will depend on our choosing of x.

So we need to solve for y.

9x+3y=12

Subtract 9x on both sides

     3y=-9x+12

Divide both sides by 3:

     y=-3x+4

Replace y with f(x).

    f(x)=-3x+4
