Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning. After 5 hours of burning, a candle has a height of 21.5 centimeters. After 21 hours of burning, its height is 16.7 centimeters. What is the height of the candle after 15 hours?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The height is 18.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

[tex]y =height[/tex]

[tex]x = time[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (5,21.5)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (21,16.7)[/tex]

Required

The height after 15 hours

First, calculate the slope (m)

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]m = \frac{16.7-21.5}{21-5}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-4.8}{16}[/tex]

[tex]m = -0.3[/tex]

The linear equation is then calculated as:

[tex]y =m(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]

Where

[tex]m = -0.3[/tex]

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (5,21.5)[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]y =-0.3(x - 5) + 21.5[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]y =-0.3x + 1.5 + 21.5[/tex]

[tex]y =-0.3x + 23[/tex]

After 15 hours

[tex]x = 15[/tex]

[tex]y =-0.3*15 + 23[/tex]

[tex]y =-4.5 + 23[/tex]

[tex]y =18.5[/tex]

The height is 18.5cm

MARKING BRAINLIEST IF U HELP 19 - s = 13; s = -6 yes no question

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation 19 - s = 13, and are asked to determine whether s = -6 fits in.

To solve, we need to isolate "s", do as followed and subtract 19 from both sides :

s = -6

Since this is equal to what the question is asking, yes s = -6 is correct.

He dimensions are tripled. The new surface area would be times larger than the original surface area.

Answers

Answer:

The new surface area would be 9 times larger than the original surface area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we do not know what was the original shape, but we will see that it does not matter.

Let's start with a square of side length L.

The original area of this square will be:

A = L^2

Now if each dimension is tripled, then all the sides of the square now will be equal to 3*L

Then the new area of the square is:

A' = (3*L)^2 = (3*L)*(3*L) = 9*L^2 = 9*A

So the new surface area is 9 times the original one.

Now, if the figure was a circle instead of a square?

For a circle of radius R, the area is:

A = pi*R^2

where pi = 3.14

Now if the dimensions of the circle are tripled, the new radius will be 3*R

Then the new area of the circle is:

A' = pi*(3*R)^2 = pi*9*R^2 = 9*(pi*R^2) = 9*A

Again, the new area is 9 times the original one.

If the figure is a triangle?

We know that for a triangle of base B and height H, the area is:

A = B*H/2

If we triple each measure, we will have a base 3*B and a height 3*H

Then the new area is:

A' = (3*B)*(3*H)/2 = (3*3)*(B*H/2) = 9*(B*H/2) = 9*A

Again, the new area is 9 times the original area.

So we can conclude that for any shape, the new area will be 9 times the original area.

Answer:

A)The angles in the smaller prism measure 90 degrees.

B)The perimeter of the rectangular bases changes by a factor of 2.  

E)The area of the rectangular bases changes by a factor of 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The right rectangular prisms are similar.

Which statements are correct? Check all that apply.

A)The angles in the smaller prism measure 90 degrees.

B)The perimeter of the rectangular bases changes by a factor of 2.

C)The surface area changes by a factor of 8.

D)The larger prism has twice the volume of the smaller prism.

E)The area of the rectangular bases changes by a factor of 4.

Solution:

Two polygons are said to be similar if they have the same shape, the ratio of their sides are in the same proportion and they have the same size of angles.

A) Since the bigger prism has angles with measure of 90°, hence the angles in the smaller prism will also measure 90.

Option A is correct.

B) Perimeter of bigger prism base = 2(2.2 + 0.8) = 6

Perimeter of smaller prism base = 2(1.1 + 0.4) = 3

The perimeter of the rectangular bases changes by a factor of 2 (6 / 3).

Option B is correct.

C) Surface area of bigger prism = 2(3.2*0.8 + 2.2*0.8 + 3.2*2.2) = 22.72

Surface area of smaller prism = 2(1.6*0.4 + 1.1*0.4 + 1.6*1.1) = 5.68

The surface area does not change by a factor of 8 (22.72 / 5.68 ≠ 8)

Option C is wrong

D) Volume of bigger prism = 2.2 * 3.2 * 0.8 = 5.632

Volume of smaller prism = 1.1 * 1.6 * 0.4 = 0.704

The larger prism volume is not twice of the smaller prism

Option D is wrong

E) Area of bigger prism base = 2.2*0.8 = 1.76

Area of smaller prism base = 2.2*0.8 = 0.44

The area of the rectangular bases changes by a  factor of 4 (1.76 / 0.44 = 4)

Answers

Given:

Of the 50 flips, the coin landed on heads 30 times.

To find:

The experimental probability of flipping heads and compare it with the theoretical probability of flipping heads.

Solution:

We have,

Total number of trials = 50

Total number of heads = 30

The experimental probability of flipping heads is:

[tex]\text{Experimental probability}=\dfrac{\text{Total number of heads}}{\text{Total number of trials}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Experimental probability}=\dfrac{30}{50}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Experimental probability}=\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Experimental probability}=0.6[/tex]

A coin has two sides one is heads and another is tails. So, the theoretical probability of flipping heads is:

[tex]\text{Theoretical probability}=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Theoretical probability}=0.5[/tex]

Therefore, the experimental probability of flipping heads is 0.6 and the theoretical probability of flipping heads is 0.5. So, the experimental probability is greater than the theoretical probability of flipping heads.

Answers

Answer:

185590 m

or 185 km 590 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

to calculate total distance covered, convert km to meter and adding the numbers together

1km = 1000m

34 Kilometre 46 metre = (34 x 1000) + 46 = 34046m

143 kilometre 92 metre = ( 143 x 1000) + 92 =  143,092m

5 kilometre 92 metre = (5 x 1000) + 92 = 5092
