<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

The surface area of the pyramid is multiplied by 100.

======================================================

Explanation:

Consider a square that is 3 by 3. Its area is 3*3 = 9.

Then we'll multiply each dimension by 10 to get a 30 by 30 square. The new larger area is 30*30 = 900. The jump from the old area (9) to the new area (900) is "times 100". We can write 100 as 10^2, where the base of that exponential is the scale factor 10.

This idea can apply to any surface area and not just squares. This is why the surface area of the enlarged pyramid is 100 times that of the original pyramid.

new surface area = 100*(old surface area)

Latanya buys 5 yard of blue fabric and 8 yards of green fabric. the blue fabric cost $2 dollars more than the green fabric.she p
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: $10

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = the price of green fabric, then x+2 = blue fabric price

8x+5(x+2)=62

8x+5x+10=62

    13x+10=62

          13x=52

              x=4

price of green fabric=$4

price of blue fabric=$6

4+6=$10

The cost, in dollars, of a one-day car rental, is given by C (x) = 31 + 0.18x, where x is the number of miles driven. In this fu
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

hi

Step-by-step explanation:

the function is c(x) = 31 + 0.18*x

where $31 is a fixed cost, and $0.18 is the cost per mile drive (where the number of miles driven)

So the fixed cost, $31, is the cost per day of rent (this price does not depend on the number x), and the linear cost, $0.18, is the cost per mile driven (because this number is multiplied by x in the function), then the right answer is B: "$31 is the cost per day to rent the car and $0.18 is the cost per mile."

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Larger sample size gives less std error and hence test statistic is larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a newspaper  is conducting a statewide survey concerning the race for governor. The newspaper will take a simple random sample of n registered voters and determine X = the number of voters that will vote for the Democratic candidate. Is there evidence that a clear majority of the population will vote for the Democratic candidate

Group        I   II

Success    640 64

Total   1200 120

p 0.533333333 0.533333333

q 0.466666667 0.466666667

se 0.014401646 0.045542003

p diff 0.033333333 0.033333333

Z 2.314550249 0.731925055

p      0.01           0.233

we find that though p is the same, std error is very small for larger sample size thus making z statistic much bigger.  So we get p value less than 0.05 whereas for 120 sample size, std error is large so Z statistic is small thus making p value to accept null hypothesis
