How a number is rounded to the nearest tenth?

To round a number to the nearest tenth, it will have only one decimal digit, and the rule is as follows:

If the second decimal digit is less than 5, the first decimal digit remains constant.If the second decimal digit is of 5 or greater, one is added to the first decimal digit.

The square root of 20 is given by:

sqrt(20) = 4.47.

The volume of the square frustrum, the volume of the pyramid and the volume of the obelisc are 1018791.667 ft³, 22019.625 ft³ and 1040811.292 ft³, respectively.

How to determine the volume of the Washington Monument

In this problem we must determine the volume of a obelisc, which is equal to the sum of the volumes of a square frustrum and a pyramid with a square base. First, sum the volumes of the frustrum and the pyramid:

V' = (1 / 3) · 500 · (55² + 55 · 34.5 + 34.5²)

V' = 1018791.667 ft³

V'' = (1 / 3) · (34.5)² · 55.5

V'' = 22019.625 ft³

Second, calculate the volume of the obelisc:

V = V' + V''

V = 1018791.667 ft³ + 22019.625 ft³

V = 1040811.292 ft³

In the graph there is line.

To know is the line is one to one or not we have to check 1st that the line is a function or not.

To check the line is function or not we have to do by vertical line test.

Graphically, the vertical line test is a way to determine if a line is a function or not.

To perform the vertical line test, we pass the vertical lines arrows the graph and if it does not intersect the graph more then one point it passes the vertical line then it can say as a function.

In the given figure1 we can see the vertical lines does not touch the line in the graph more then one point so it is a function.

Now, we know the line is a function so now we have to check if the line is one to one or not.

To check the line is one to one or not we have to do by horizontal line test.

Graphically, the horizontal line test is a way to determine if a line is a one to one or not.

To perform the horizontal line test, we pass the horizontal lines arrows the graph and if it does not intersect the graph more then one point it passes the horizontal line then it can say as a one to one function.

Answer:

4x^3 (3)_/x + 10x^3 (3)_/x

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets solve the first term

When you multiply exponents you add them, so x^10 can be split into:

x^3 * x^3 * x^3 * x^1

We can then take it out.

4x^3 (3)_/x

Then for the other part we can also factor it.

2*2*2 is 8 so we can take that out and multiply it by 5 =10

You can keep x in there since you can factor it into smaller pieces.

The final answer you get when you add all of it together is :
4x^3 (3)_/x + 10x^3 (3)_/x

m<H = 38 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation: sub in 9 for x in 5x-7. we get 38. add 38 and 89 and then subtract that sum from 180, which is 53. now add 53 to 14x+1 and make it equal to 180. To solve for x, subtract 54 from both sides, which gives us 14x=126. Divide both sides by 14 and we get x =9. Now that we know that 9 works for x in both equations, the answer is 9.


The area of the parallelogram is 4 times the area of the triangle.
The perpendicular height of the parallelogram is h cm.
Find the value of h.
*HOMEWORK QUESTION*

Answers

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = 0.5 × base × height

= 0.5 × 6 × 13

= 39

Area of parallelogram = 4 × Area of triangle

Note - Area of parallelogram = base × perpendicular height

Hence,

Base × perpendicular height = 4 × 39

12 × H = 156

H = 156 ÷ 12

= 13

Answer = 13

Answer:

h = 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

here b = 6 and h = 13 , then

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 6 × 13 = 3 × 13 = 39 cm²

Then the area (A) of the parallelogram = 4 × 39 = 156 cm²

the area (A) of the parallelogram is calculated as

A = bh ( b is the base and h the height )

here b = 12 , then

12h = 156 ( divide both sides by 12 )

h = 13

How to complete the given statements?

Here we know that the graph shows the relationship between the pounds of grapes (g) and the cost (c). Such that the cost is on the horizontal axis, and the weight on the vertical axis.

We have the points:

(0, 0) For 0 dollars you buy 0 pounds.(2, 1) for 2 dollars you buy one pound.(4, 2) for 4 dollars you buy 2 pounds.(6, 3) for 6 dollars you buy 3 pounds.

Then this is a proportional relationship, and we can see that each pound of grapes costs $2

Then the statements are:

1) "For every dollar you spend, you can get pounds of grapes."

If one pound costs $2, then for each dollar you will get half a pound.

Then answer the question that follows.A farmer had a horse that had been an excellent faithful servant to him: but he was now grown too old to work; so the farmer would give him nothing more to eat, and said, 'I want you no longer, so take yourself off out of my stable; I shall not take you back again until you are stronger than a lion.' Then he opened the door and turned him adrift.The poor horse was very melancholy, and wandered up and down in the wood, seeking some little shelter from the cold wind and rain. Presently a fox met him: 'What's the matter, my friend?' said he, 'why do you hang down your head and look so lonely and woe-begone?' 'Ah!' replied the horse, 'justice and avarice never dwell in one house; my master has forgotten all that I have done for him so many years, and because I can no longer work he has turned me adrift, and says unless I become stronger than a lion he will not take me back again; what chance can I have of that? he knows I have none, or he would not talk so.'However, the fox bid him be of good cheer, and said, 'I will help you; lie down there, stretch yourself out quite stiff, and pretend to be dead.' The horse did as he was told, and the fox went straight to the lion who lived in a cave close by, and said to him, 'A little way off lies a dead horse; come with me and you may make an excellent meal of his carcass.' The lion was greatly pleased, and set off immediately; and when they came to the horse, the fox said, 'You will not be able to eat him comfortably here; I'll tell you whatI will tie you fast to his tail, and then you can draw him to your den, and eat him at your leisure.'This advice pleased the lion, so he laid himself down quietly for the fox to make him fast to the horse. But the fox managed to tie his legs together and bound all so hard and fast that with all his strength he could not set himself free. When the work was done, the fox clapped the horse on the shoulder, and said, 'Jip! Dobbin! Jip!' Then up he sprang, and moved off, dragging the lion behind him. The beast began to roar and bellow, till all the birds of the wood flew away for fright; but the horse let him sing on and made his way quietly over the fields to his master's house.'Here he is, farmer, ' said he, 'I have got the better of him': and when the farmer saw his old servant, his heart relented, and he said. 'Thou shalt stay in thy stable and be well taken care of.'
