A book shows an enlarged photo of a carpenter bee. A carpenter bee is about 6×10^-3 m long. The photo is 13.5 cm long. About how many times as long as a carpenter bee is the photo?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: A ratio compares values. A ratio says how much of one thing there is compared to another thing. We do as follows:

length of photo/ length of a carpenter bee = ratio of the two
13.5 / 6x10^-3 = 2250

Therefore, the photo is 2250 longer than the carpenter bee.

Find the surface area and volume of a cube with sides of 5.5 cm each.

Answers

Answer:

$V= 166.375cm^3$ and $As = 181.5cm^2.$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's calculate the volume. The volume of a cube is $V= s^3$ where s is the side. Then,

$V = (5.5cm)^3 = 166.375cm^3$

Now, the surface area will be the sum of the areas of each face. Each face of the cube is a square and the area of a square is $A=s^2$ , also we know that the cube has 6 faces, then the surface area of the cube will be

$As = 6*s^2$ , so

$As = 6*(5.5cm)^2$

$As = 6*30.25cm^2$

$As = 181.5cm^2.$

The equation to find the surface area of a cube is: 2*base+lateral area. The base of a cube is just the area of the square. So you would multiply 5.5*5.5. That would equal 30.25
The equation to find the lateral area is: perimeter*height. So you would add 5.5 four times since its a square. It would equal 22. Then you would multiply it by the height of which is also 5.5. 5.5*22=121.

Now that you have all the information just plug it back in the equation.(side note, because cubes are prisms you have two bases which is why you multiply them by two.) 2*30.25+121=181.5

your awnser is 185.5cm squared

If 28% of a sum is $100.80, what is the sum?

Answers

Call the sum S. Then, you can use the definition of percentage to obtain an equation to find the value of S: 1) 28% = 28 / 100; 2) 28% of x = (28/100)x; 3) that is equal to $100.80 => (28/100)x = 100.8 => x = 100.8 * 100 / 28 => x = 360. You can verify that the 28% of 360 is 100.80: 360 * 28/100 = 100.80. Then, the answer is $360.

From the top of a building, 40 feet above the ground, a construction worker locates a rock at a 12° angle of depression. How far is the rock from the building?

Answers

Answer:

188 m

Step-by-step explanation:

$\tan(12) = (40)/(x) \n x = (40)/( \tan(12) ) \n x = 188$

Answer:

I think that the other answer is WRONG

tan(12) = $(x)/(40)$

x = tan(12)*40 = 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

$(sin\left(78\right))/(40)=(sin\left(12\right))/(x)$ = 8.5

Solve for x.6 – 3(2x – 4) = 2(1 + x)

A. -2
B. 0
C. -1
D. 2

Answers

6 - 3(2x - 4) = 2(1 + x) Use the Distributive Property (Multiply the number on the outside of the parentheses by all of the numbers in parentheses to get rid of the parentheses.)
6 - 6x + 12 = 2 + 2x Isolate the variable. Start by subtracting 2 from both sides.
6 - 6x + 12 - 2 = 2x Combine like terms. (6, 12, and -2)
16 - 6x = 2x Add 6x to both sides to get all the x's on one side of the equation.
16 = 8x Divide both sides by 8.
2 = x

X equals D. 2 .

Hi Brainiac

6 - 3(2x - 4) = 2(1 + x)
Use the distributive property
6+(-3)(2x)+(-3)(-4) = (2)(1)+(2)(x)
6 - 6x + 12 = 2 + 2x
Now we need to combine like terms
-6x +(6+12) = 2x +2
-6x + 18 = 2x + 2
-6x -2x = 2 - 18
-8x = -16
x = -16/-8
x= 2

I hope that's help... If you have any further questions please let me know. Good night :)
