Answer:

Nina will be 18 years old when she is half as old as her mother.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, you can write an equation that indicates that Mrs. Matthews current age plus x which would be the number of years until Nina will be half as old as her mother would be equal to two times nina's age plus x, as you would have to multiply Nina's age at that time for 2 to be equal to her mother's age. The equation would be:

24+x=2(6+x)

Now, you can solve for x:

24+x=12+2x

24-12=2x-x

12=x

Finally, you  have to add the value of x plus Nina's current age to determine her age when she is half as old as her mother:

12+6=18

Acording to this, the answer is that Nina will be 18 years old when she is half as old as her mother.

The volume of a cylinder is 12,566.4 cm3. The height of the cylinder is 8 cm.
scoundrel [369]
Using the formulas here: http://www.1728.org/diamform.htm

A)  Volume   =   <span>π <span>• r² • height
radius^2 = Volume / (PI*height)
</span></span><span>radius^2 = 12,566.4 / (PI * 8)
</span>radius^2 =  <span> <span> <span> 500.0011692175 </span> </span> </span>
radius = <span> <span> <span> 22.3607059195 </span> </span> </span>
radius (rounded) = 22.4 cm

B) Area of base = PI * radius^2
Area of base = 3.14159265 * 500
Area of base = <span> <span> <span> 1,570.7963267949 </span>
</span></span><span><span>Area of base (rounded) = </span> 1,570.8 square cm
</span> 
C) <span><span>lateral area = </span>2 • </span><span>π • r • height </span>
<span>lateral area = 2 • </span><span>π • 22.4 * 8
</span>lateral area = <span> <span> <span> 1,125.9468070466 </span> </span> </span>
lateral area = 1,125.9 <span>square cm

D) Total Surface Area = </span><span>(2 • <span>π <span>• r²) + (2 • <span>π • r • height)</span></span></span></span>
Total Surface Area = <span><span>2 * (top AND bottom area which is the Part B answer times 2) + (the lateral area which is the Part C answer)
</span>
Total Surface Area = </span>( 2 * 1,570.8 ) + (1,125.9)
<span>Total Surface Area = 3,141.6 + 1,125.9
</span><span>Total Surface Area = </span> <span> <span> <span> 4,267.5 </span> </span> </span> square cm

How do you use units and convert them to understand and solve problems?
Andrews [41]
A unit is a measurement. for example, a unit could be an inch, or it could be a foot. to convert you need the exact measurement so if a line is 12 inches it's 1 foot. if it is 13 then it stays in inches. You convert units to the easiest variable to calculate and then you solve your equation from there. 

Hope I helped! :)
