To determine the amount of gold plating necessary for the similar box, you will use the fact that it is 8 times larger in volume to determine how many times larger the area is. This would be what you will multiply $125 by.
Volume is a three dimensional measurement, so the fact that it is 8 times larger tells us each dimension was 2 times larger (2 x 2 x 2=8).
Area is a two dimensional measurement, so the area would have been 2 x 2 or 4 times larger. This means the price would be 4 times as much.
$125 x 4 = $500.
It will cost $500 to gold plate the similar jewelry box.
The student is correct. Due to the meaning of perimeter which is all sides added up to make a number total, it is possible for a square and a rectangle to have the same perimeter if the numbers add up.
Answer:
First, you have to add 11 on both sides, so the answer is A
Answer:
<u>x = -7.5 - 1.5(n−1) </u>
Step-by-step explanation:
the explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence has the form
x = a + d(n−1)
a is the first term and d is the common difference
The given arithmetic sequence is
-7.5,-9,-10.5,-12
The first term is -7.5
d = common difference = -9 - (-7.5) = -1.5
∴ x = -7.5 - 1.5(n−1)
