Both are correct because .5 is ten percent of 5. And the increase is only a half of a percentage point.

A regular hexagonal prism has an edge length 12 cm, and height 10 cm. Identify the volume of the prism to the nearest tenth.

Alexeev081 [22]

Check the picture below.

so the volume will simply be the area of the hexagonal face times the height.

$\textit{area of a regular polygon}\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{4}ns^2\stackrel{\qquad degrees}{\cot\left( \frac{180}{n} \right)}~~ \begin{cases} n=\stackrel{number~of}{sides}\\ s=\stackrel{length~of}{side}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ n=6\\ s=12 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{1}{4}(6)(12)^2\cot\left( \frac{180}{6} \right) \\\\\\ A=216\cot(30^o)\implies A=216\sqrt{3} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{area of the hexagon}}{(216\sqrt{3})}~~\stackrel{height}{(10)}\implies 2160\sqrt{3}~~\approx ~~3741.2~cm^3$

Water pours into a tank at the rate of 2000 cm3/min. The tank is cylindrical with radius 2 meters. How fast is the height of wat

Gennadij [26K]

Volume of water in the tank:

$V=\pi (2\,\mathrm m)^2h=\pi(200\,\mathrm{cm})^2h$

Differentiate both sides with respect to time t :

$\dfrac{\mathrm dV}{\mathrm dt}=\pi(200\,\mathrm{cm})^2\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dt}$

V changes at a rate of 2000 cc/min (cubic cm per minute); use this to solve for dh/dt :

$2000\dfrac{\mathrm{cm}^3}{\rm min}=\pi(40,000\,\mathrm{cm}^2)\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dt}$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{2000}{40,000\pi}\dfrac{\rm cm}{\rm min}=\dfrac1{20\pi}\dfrac{\rm cm}{\rm min}$

(The question asks how the height changes at the exact moment the height is 50 cm, but this info is a red herring because the rate of change is constant.)

Corresponding solution for 3x-3(x+1)=3 plzzz answer quickly

Gekata [30.6K]

$3x - 3(x + 1) = 3 \\ = > - 3(x + 1) = 3 - 3x \\ = > - 3(x + 1) = - 3(1 + x) \\$

Hence,

$x$ is cutting each other in this equation.

So, $x$ can be of any value.i.e.,infinite.

Hope this will help you.
