Answer:

10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Dimension = 2 feet by 3 feet

Required

Determine the length of the short side if the longer side is scaled to 15 feet

Represent the before and after enlargement as a ratio:

Before Enlargement

Ratio = 2 ft : 3ft

After Enlargement

Ratio = x : 15 ft

Where x represents the length of the shorter side

Since they're both proportional, their ratio must be equal.

So, we have:

2 : 3 = x : 15

Convert ratio to fraction

⅔ = x/15

Multiply both sides by 15

15 * ⅔ = 15 * x/15

15 * ⅔ = x

30/3 = x

10 = x

x = 10

Hence, the length of the shorter side must be 10 feet

Plz someone help I will mark brainlest diameter is 8.8 yd​
sweet [91]

Answer:

60.79 square yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

d = 2r; d = 8.8.

8.8 = 2r

r = 8.8 / 2

r = 4.4 yards.

Since we now have the radius, we can find the area of the circle, which can be found using πr^2, or 3.14 * r^2.

4.4^2 * 3.14 = 19.36 * 3.14 = 60.7904.

Since the question tells us to round to the nearest hundredth, our final answer will be 60.79 square yards.

Hope this helps!

Help please been stuck on this for a week.
Anettt [7]
They give the formula as:
Surface Area =<span> (2 • <span>π <span>• r²) + (2 • <span>π • r • height)</span></span></span></span>
However the 2*PI*r^2 part of the formula is used to calculate the 2 "ends" of a cylinder.  Since the problem states that you are NOT to count any of surface area of the "ends" then you only need the <span>(2 • <span>π • r • height) part of the formula.
So, r = 3 inches and height = 8 * 3 inches, the side area equals
2 * PI * r * height
2 * 3.14159 * 3 * 24 =
</span></span>
<span> <span> <span> 452.39 cubic inches which is the lateral area.</span></span></span>
