Answer: The initial elevation of the plane was 8.75 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that the initial elevation of the plane is E.

Then the plane descends 3.5 miles.

Then the new elevation of the plane will be:

E - 3.5 miles.

Now, we know that the new elevation of the plane is 5.25 miles, then:

E - 3.5 miles = 5.25 miles.

Now we need to solve this for E.

To solve this, we can add the same number to both sides of the equation, so we can add 3.5 miles to both sides to get:

(E - 3.5 miles) + 3.5 miles = 5.25 miles + 3.5 miles

E + (3.5 miles - 3.5 miles) = 5.25 miles + 3.5 miles

E = 8.75 miles.

The initial elevation of the plane was 8.75 miles.

What is 3 3/8 tons equal to in pounds?
guapka [62]

1 ton is equivalent to 2000 pounds

we have to find how many pounds 3 3/8 tons are equal to

if 1 ton --> 2000 pounds

we can break down the fraction into 3 + 3/8

then 3 tons --> 2000 x 3 = 6000 pounds

3/8 ton ---> 2000 x 3/8 = \frac{3*2000}{8} = \frac{6000}{8} = 750 pounds

after adding 6000 + 750 = 6750 pounds

answer is 6750 pounds

<h2>Answer</h2>

After the dilation \frac{5}{3} around the center of dilation (2, -2), our triangle will have coordinates:

R'=(2,3)

S'=(2,-2)

T'=(-3,-2)

<h2>Explanation</h2>

First, we are going to translate the center of dilation to the origin. Since the center of dilation is (2, -2) we need to move two units to the left (-2) and two units up (2) to get to the origin. Therefore, our first partial rule will be:

(x,y)→(x-2, y+2)

Next, we are going to perform our dilation, so we are going to multiply our resulting point by the dilation factor \frac{5}{3}. Therefore our second partial rule will be:

(x,y)→\frac{5}{3} (x-2,y+2)

(x,y)→(\frac{5}{3} x-\frac{10}{3} ,\frac{5}{3} y+\frac{10}{3} )

Now, the only thing left to create our actual rule is going back from the origin to the original center of dilation, so we need to move two units to the right (2) and two units down (-2)

(x,y)→(\frac{5}{3} x-\frac{10}{3}+2,\frac{5}{3} y+\frac{10}{3}-2)

(x,y)→(\frac{5}{3} x-\frac{4}{3} ,\frac{5}{3}y+ \frac{4}{3})

Now that we have our rule, we just need to apply it to each point of our triangle to perform the required dilation:

R=(2,1)

R'=(\frac{5}{3} x-\frac{4}{3} ,\frac{5}{3}y+ \frac{4}{3})

R'=(\frac{5}{3} (2)-\frac{4}{3} ,\frac{5}{3}(1)+ \frac{4}{3})

R'=(\frac{10}{3} -\frac{4}{3} ,\frac{5}{3}+ \frac{4}{3})

R'=(2,3)

S=(2,-2)

S'=(\frac{5}{3} (2)-\frac{4}{3} ,\frac{5}{3}(-2)+ \frac{4}{3})

S'=(\frac{10}{3} -\frac{4}{3} ,-\frac{10}{3}+ \frac{4}{3})

S'=(2,-2)

T=(-1,-2)

T'=(\frac{5}{3} (-1)-\frac{4}{3} ,\frac{5}{3}(-2)+ \frac{4}{3})

T'=(-\frac{5}{3} -\frac{4}{3} ,-\frac{10}{3}+ \frac{4}{3})

T'=(-3,-2)

Now we can finally draw our triangle:

How do you determine volume?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:   V = πr 2 h

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volume of a cylinder, you must know its height and the radius of the circular base (the distance from the center of the circle to its edge) at the top and bottom. The formula is V = πr 2 h, where V is the Volume, r is the radius of the circular base, h is the height, and π is the constant pi.
