Answer:

x^2 - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

since it is in the form of

a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)

u can directly write x^2 - 2^2

=x^2 - 4

process :

(x + 2)(x - 2)

=x(x - 2) + 2(x - 2)

=x^2 - 2x + 2x - 4

=-2x and plus 2x gets cancel

=x^2 - 4

The sum of the ages of Mr Lin and his son Ethan is 38 years. In three years' time, Mr Lin will be three times as old as his son.

Sati [7]

Answer:

Mr.Lin's present age is 30 years now. His son is 8 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = Mr.Lin's present age,

S = his son's present age.

First equation is

L + S = 38. (1)

The second equation is

L + 3 = 3*(S+3) (2) ("In three years' time, Mr.Lin will be three times as old as his son.")

From (1), express S = 38-L and substitute it into (2). You will get

L + 3 = 3*((38-L)+3), or

L + 3 = 114 - 3L + 9,

4L = 114 + 9 - 3,

4L = 120,

L = 30.

If you know that the exact volume of a cylinder is 500 π cm3, how can you find the approximate volume, without knowing the heigh

OLga [1]

The formula for the volume of a cylinder ( V<span>=πr2</span>h) is useable to find the missing height. Then, to find the radius, use the equation, <span>r = square root of (V / (pi x h)). Plug your numbers into the equation and solve.</span>

Arada [10]

Answer: $64\ ft^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The dimension of the box is

$\text{width w=}8\ ft\\\text{height h=}2\ ft\\\text{length l=}4\ ft$

Space occupied by the box is equal to its volume i.e.

$\Rightarrow V=l\times b\times h\\\Rightarrow V=4\times 8\times 2\\\Rightarrow V=64\ ft^3$

The volume of the box is $64\ ft^3$ .
