We have been given that a company makes wax candles in the shape of a solid sphere. Each candle has a diameter of 15 cm. We are asked to find the number of candles that company can make from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.

To solve our given problem, we will divide total volume of wax by volume of one candle.

Volume of each candle will be equal to volume of sphere.

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3, where r represents radius of sphere.

We know that radius is half the diameter, so radius of each candle will be \frac{15}{2}=7.5 cm.

\text{Volume of one candle}=\frac{4}{3}\cdot 3.14\cdot (7.5\text{ cm})^3

\text{Volume of one candle}=\frac{4}{3}\cdot 3.14\cdot 421.875\text{ cm}^3

\text{Volume of one candle}=1766.25\text{ cm}^3

Now we will divide 70,650 cubic cm of wax by volume of one candle.

\text{Number of candles}=\frac{70,650\text{ cm}^3}{1766.25\text{ cm}^3}

\text{Number of candles}=\frac{70,650}{1766.25}

\text{Number of candles}=40

Therefore, 40 candles can be made from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.

Yes, set up your proportion: x/21 = 10/14
Cross multiply 14x = 210
Divide both sides by 14 and x= 15 cm

Write the equation of a line, in SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM, that is perpendicular to the given equation and passes through the given
adoni [48]

Step-by-step explanation:

slope interception formula is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

where m is m=y-y1/x-x1 in this case m=-2 because the line we are trying to find is parallel to the given one y=-2x-6 where slope k=-2

so the final equation would be

y-1=-2(x-(-4))

y-1=-2x-2*4

y=-2x-8+1=-2x-7

If you apply ghe change below to the quadratic parent function f(x)=x2 what is the equation of the new function? Shift 1 unit ri
saveliy_v [14]

1 to left gives (x -1)^2

vertical stretch makes it 5(x - 1)^2

reflection in axis changes the sign to - :-

equation of new function is f(x) = -5(x - 1)^2
