Why do we use cubic units and not square units to find the the volume of solid figures ?

It has to do with the number of dimensions you have in the figure. For example, in a square you have 2 dimensions, length and width. Since you have only two you use units^2. In a cube, you have 3 dimensions, length, width and height, which is where you get the units^3.

An Olympic gold medal has the diameter is 8 cm what is is area
denis23 [38]
The area is 50.24 cm.
The formula is π·r^2.

Then you multiply 16 by 3.14 (π). And you get 50.24 cm as the area.

A similarity ratio is the ratio of the lengths
kow [346]
Similarity ratio is a ratio of two figures having the same side.

Ratio can be rate but rate can never be ratio. In essence, rate is comparison between ratios.  While ratio is comparison between two or more numbers. Further, ratio on one hand, involves numbers either in amount, size, measurement, degrees, percentages or fractions with the absence of specific unit of measurement. On the contrary, rate is comparing quantities, amounts or unit of events happened expressed in a specific measurement or expressed under time. Take for instance, an example, Joe eats 2 while John eats 4 meals in a day. The ratio can be Joe: John, 2:4 meals. While the rate, is Joe eats 2 meals/day and John 4 meals/day.<span>

Answer this one for me thanks ppppp
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

16.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to help us solve this problem: a^2+b^2=c^2 where c is the longest side of a right triangle (the hypotenuse) and a and b are the other two sides

It's safe to assume that x is the longest side in this triangle, making it the c value. Plug 14 and 9 into the equation as a and b and solve for x:

14^2+9^2=x^2\\196+81=x^2\\277=x^2\\x=16.6

Therefore, the value of x is 16.6 units when rounded to the nearest tenth.

I hope this helps!
