Answer:

27mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sailing course is equilateral in shape, then all their sides are equal.

Get one of the sides using Pythagoras theorem as shown;

Let one of the side be x

Two base will be x/2

According to the theorem;

x² = 9² +(x/2)²

x² = 81 + x²/4

x²-x²/4 = 81

3x²/4 = 81

3x² = 324

x² = 324/4

x² = 81

x = 9

Perimeter of the triangle = 3x

Perimeter of the triangle = 3(9)

Perimeter of the triangle = 27mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula y=mx+b

m= slope

b= y-int

Rate of change can also be interpreted as the slope.

0.03

The initial value can be interpreted as the y-intercept.

A rectangular box with an open top has a length of x feet, a width of y feet, and a height of z feet. It costs $4.30 per square
almond37 [142]

Answer:

C=$(4.30xy+5.40(xz+yz))

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Area of a Cuboid=2(LW+LH+HW)

Since the top is open

Surface Area = LW+2(LH+HW)

If Length = x feet,

Width =y feet

Height = z feet

Surface Area = xy+2(xz+yz)

Area of the base=xy

If it costs $4.30 per square foot to build the base

Cost of the base=Cost Per Square Foot X Area = $4.30xy

Area of the sides =2(xz+yz)

If it costs $2.70 per square foot to build the sides

Cost of the sides=Cost Per Square Foot X Area of the sides

= 2.70 X 2(xz+yz)

=5.40(xz+yz)

Cost of Constructing the Box = Cost of Constructing the Base + Cost of Constructing the Sides.

Therefore,

C=$(4.30xy+5.40(xz+yz))

A cylindrical cup is 10 centimeters in height. When filled to the very top, it holds 500 cubic centimeters of water. What is the
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for radius is

r=\sqrt{\frac{v}{\pi h } }

so. 500 divided by pi times 10. then square root your final answer. cool. let's get started.

3.14*10 is 31.4, you can do that without thinking.

500/31.4=15.92

\sqrt{}15.92= 3.99, or just 4

the radius is four.
