Answer: 53. B similar
Step-by-step explanation:
It looks as if "B" is the right angle so
AC is the hypotenuse
AB and BC are the legs
The formula for the radius of a sphere is:
r(s) = sqrt[s/(4pi)]
This is based on the formula that s = 4pi*r^2
As can be seen, as the surface area increases, s/4pi increases, and sqrt(s/4pi) will also increase, meaning that the radius will increase. This continues until the balloon reaches the maximum s = 1500 cm^2.
The correct answer is the first choice:
<span>As the surface area of the balloon increases, the radius of the balloon increases until the maximum surface area is reached.</span>
