Answer:

a : b = 25 : 9

Step-by-step explanation:

(3a - 5b) : (3a + 5b) = 1 : 4

Product of extremes = product of means

(3a - 5b) *4 = (3a +5b) * 1 {Distributive property}

3a * 4 - 5b*4 = 3a + 5b

12a - 20b = 3a + 5b

Add 20b to both sides

12a = 3a + 5b + 20b

12a = 3a + 25b

Subtract 3a from both sides

12a - 3a = 25b

9a = 25b

$\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{25}{9}$

a:b = 25 : 9

What is the area to this shape ?

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

249.42 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given only the apothem of an n-sided regular polygon, the area can be computed as ...

... A = n·a²·tan(180°/n)

For n=3 and a=4√3, this is ...

... A = 3·(4√3)²·tan(60°)

... A = 3·48·√3 = 144√3 . . . . units²

... A ≈ 249.42 units²

A cone has a height 25 ft and a radius of 7 ft. Is a reasonable that the volume of this cone is 100 ft3? Why or why not?

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the radius squared is 49 times π, which is roughly 3 means the area of the base is roughly 150 ft².

This means that one third of the height cannot be more than 100 / 150 = 2/3 of a foot. That makes the height about 2 ft, much less than the reported 25 ft.

An airplane travels at 150 miles per hour. The total distance traveled is 637.5 miles. Which equation should be solved to determ

OverLord2011 [107]

The distance (d) traveled by the airplane is the product of multiplying the speed (s) and the trip took (h). The equation is shown below,
d = s x h
Substitute the known values to the equation,
637.5 miles = (150 mile/ hour) x h
Manipulating the equation,
h = (637.5 miles) / (150 mile/ hr)
h is equal to 4.25 hours.
