Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Le the number be x and x+2

The information given can be formed into and equation as:

(x + 2)² = x² + 120

(x + 2)(x + 2) = x² + 120

x² + 2x + 2x + 4 = x² + 120

Collect like terms

x² - x² + 2x + 2x = 120 - 4

4x = 116

x = 116/4

x = 29

The smallest number is 29

The larger number is x + 2 = 29 + 2 = 31

The volume of a cone is 3rx? cubic units and its height is x units. Which expression represents the radius of the cone's base, i

Marianna [84]

Answer:

It is given that the volume of a cone = $3\pi x^3$ cubic units

Volume of cone with radius 'r' and height 'h' = $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

Equating the given volumes, we get

$3\pi x^3=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

$r^2h=3$ × $3x^3$

$r^2h=9 x^3$

It is given that the height is 'x' units.

Therefore, $r^2x=9x^3$

$r^2=9x^2$

Therefore, $r=3 x$

So, the expression ' $3 x$ ' represents the radius of the cone's base in units.

Answer:

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 4(3x - 7) = 40 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

3x - 7 = - 10 ( add 7 to both sides )

3x = - 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Titus is not correct.

There are two transformations will correctly prove FEDCBA ≅ F'E'D'C'B'A'

First transformation is Reflection over y-axis , then translation 10 units down.

The final formula is ( - x , y - 10 )
