Since m is the midpoint of ab, then the following relationship is fulfilled:
 am =  \frac{ab}{2}
 Therefore, substituting values we have:
 2x+9 = \frac{8x-50}{2}
 From here, we clear the value of x.
 We have then:
 2x+9 = 4x-25
 9+25 = 4x-2x
 34 = 2x
 x =  \frac{34}{2}
 x = 17
 Then, the value of am, is given by substituting x in the expression:
 am=2x+9
 Substituting we have:
 am=2(17)+9
 am=34+9
 am=43
 Answer:
 
the length of am is:
 
am=43

What is the total area of the glass in the pyramid arena? Explain how you got the answer please.
Blababa [14]

Answer: 888,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Base: 600 x 600 = 360,000

600 x 440 x 2 (there is 4 triangles and 2 makes 1 square. So there is 2 pairs so times 2)= 528,000

360,000 + 528,000= 888,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Tyler asks for a fish tank for his birthday. The task he wants is a rectangular prism 20 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 12 inches tall. How much water will the fish tank hold?

the capacity of the tank can be determined by calculating the volume of the tank

volume of a prism = length x width x height

20 x 10 x 12 = 2400 in^3

baherus [9]
The correct answer is:  [C]:  " 5 " .
__________________________________________________________
                                →  " a = 5 " .
__________________________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________________________ 

Given:  " a + 1 <span>− 2 = 4 " ; Solve for "a" ; 

4 + 2 = 6 ; 

6 </span>− 1 = 5 ;   →  a = 5 ;

To check our work:

5 + 1 − 2 = ? 4 ?? ;  

5 + 1 = 6 ; 

6 − 2 = 4.  Yes!

So the answer is:  [C]:  " 5 ". 
_________________________________________________________
                          →   " a = 5 " .

What happens to the volume of a sphere when its diameter is doubled?
pochemuha
To determine the effect of changing the diameter of a sphere to its volume, we would need to know the formula for the volume of a sphere which is V = 4πr³/3 where r is half of the diameter. As you can see, there is a direct relationship.

r1 = d1/2
r2 = d2/2 = 2d1/2 = d1

V2/V1 = (4πd1³/3) / (4π(d1/2)³/3)
V2/V1 = 8

Therefore, the volume of the sphere would be 8 times the original volume.
