Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The line joining 2 midpoints of the non parallel sides of a trapezoid is 1/2 the sum of the two parallel lines.

Put in much simpler language XY = 1/2 (BC + AD)

4x - 2 = 1/2 (6x + 1 + x) Combine the right

4x - 2 = 1/2 (7x + 1) Multiply by 2

8x - 4 = 7x + 1 Add 4 to both sides

8x = 7x + 5 Subtract 7x

x = 5

But what you want is the length of XY

XY = 4x - 2 = 4*5 - 2 = 18

Sorry I noticed too late that I used x for s. The answer would still be 18.

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

PROBLEM A

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is

V = πr²h, where πr² is the area of the base.

V = area of base x height

Choose any four numbers that are less than 10 for the height.
Then, substitute into the formula and isolate "r". 10 = πr²h
Double "r" to find the diameter.
The area of the base is found (bolded) while you solve πr².

*I will use the calculator button for pi (π)

Cylinder A: h = 1

10 = πr²h

10 = πr²(1)

10 = πr² Area of the base is 10m².

r = √ (10/π)

r = 1.78 Radius is 1.78m.

d = 2r = 1.78*2 = 3.56 Diameter is 3.56m.

Cylinder B: h = 2

10 = πr²h

10 = πr²(2)

5 = πr² Area of the base is 5m².

r = √ (5/π)

r = 1.26 Radius is 1.26m.

d = 2r = 1.26*2 = 2.52 Diameter is 2.52m.

Cylinder C: h = 4

10 = πr²h

10 = πr²(4)

2.5 = πr² Area of the base is 2.5m².

r = √ (2.5/π)

r = 0.89 Radius is 0.89m.

d = 2r = 0.89*2 = 1.78 Diameter is 1.78m.

Cylinder D: h = 5

10 = πr²h

10 = πr²(5)

2 = πr² Area of the base is 2m².

r = √ (2/π)

r = 0.80 Radius is 0.8m.

d = 2r = 0.80*2 = 1.6 Diameter is 1.6m.

The answers are reasonable if the answer is close to 10 when you substitute the rounded numbers back into the formula and solve.

There are infinite possibilities because any numbers when used in the formula equates to 10 are possible. The height/radius can be any decimal number, which would make the other dimensions change.

PROBLEM B

Follow similar steps if you know the diameter of a cylinder. Use the same formula V = πr²h.

We need the radius, which is half the diameter. r = d/2 = 10/2 = 5

Choose a random number for volume that divides easily by 25.
Substitute "V" and "r²" (r² = 25).
Isolate "h".
The area of the base is 78.54 cm² every time (A = πr²).

Cylinder A: V = 100

100 = π25h

4 = πh

h = 1.27 The height is 1.27m.

Cylinder B: V = 200

200 = π25h

8 = πh

h = 2.55 The height is 2.55m.

Cylinder C: V = 75

75 = π25h

3 = πh

h = 0.95 The height is 0.95m.

Cylinder D: V = 125

125 = π25h

5 = πh

h = 1.59 The height is 1.59m.

The answers are reasonable if I can substitute two rounded values into the formula and get a number close to the third. The height is also a decimal number which occurs because of pi.

Question 7 of 18

Delicious77 [7]

The more appropriate measures of center and spread are:

A. Better measure of spread: the interquartile range (IQR)
B. Better measure of center: the median

<h3>Which measures are best for the given data?</h3>

The better measure of the middle would be the median because mean is affected by low and high values which are present in the given data set.

As mean is not being used, standard deviation should not be used for the same reason. This leaves us with the interquartile range which is best because it does not take outliers into account.

Hope this helps but I think the answer is A.To find this look at the points on the graph and find out what their ordered pairs are. Once you do that look at the x values for all the ordered pairs.Example the x value for the ordered pair (-3,-1) is -3.After you have found all the x values put them in order from least to greatest.I any x values are repeated then leave them out.Example if your x values are 0,1,1,2,3,3,4 then leave the extra 1 and 3 out and then you have 0,1,2,3,4.Once you have put the x values in order from least to greatest and left out any extra repeated x values the you are done and you have your domain for the function.
