The volume of a gas in a container varies inversely with the pressure on the gas. A container of helium has a volume of 370in3 u

nder a pressure of 15psi (pounds per square inch). Write the equation that relates the volume, V, to the pressure, P. What would be the volume of this gas if the pressure was increased to 25psi?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When two variables vary inversely, it means that an increase in one would lead to a decrease in the other and vice versa. Since the volume of a gas, V in a container varies inversely with the pressure on the gas, P, if we introduce a constant of proportionality, k, the expression would be

V = k/P

If V = 370 in³ and P = 15psi, then

370 = k/15

k = 370 × 15 = 5550

The equation that relates the volume, V, to the pressure, P would be

V = 5550/P

if the pressure was increased to 25psi, the volume would be

V = 5550/25 = 222 in³

A 16.0-inch chord is drawn in a circle whose radius is 10.0 inches. what is the angular size of the minor arc of this chord? wha
statuscvo [17]
PART I
Angular size of the minor arc . 
Half of the chord an the radius makes a right angled triangle with the radius as the hypotenuse and half of the chord as one of the shorter side.
Therefore, using trigonometric ratio, sine = opp/hyp
                          sine θ = 8/10  where θ is half the minor angle
                                  θ  = 53.13
Therefore, the angular size of the minor arc will be 53.13 × 2  = 106.26°

PART II
The length of an arc is given by (θ/360 )× 2πr
where θ is the angle subtended by the arc to the center of the circle and r is the radius of the circle.
Therefore, length = (106.26/360) × 3.142 × 2×10
                            = 18.548 Inches

A parallelogram has a length of 6 centimeters and a width of 4.5 centimeters. This parallelogram is dilated by a scale factor of
Arada [10]
Scale factor is given by:
(length of larger figure)/(length of smaller figure)=(width of larger figure)/(width of the smaller figure)=3.4
The length of the larger figure will be given by:
length=(scale factor)*(length of smaller figure)
=3.4*6=20.4 cm
width of the larger figure will be given by:
width=(scale factor)*(width of smaller figure)
=3.4*4.5
=15.3 cm
Therefore the dimension of the new parallelogram will be 20.4 cm by 15.3 cm

1,250 an 15% sale an 6.5 sales tax
eimsori [14]
Given:
price = 1,250
sales discount = 15%
sales tax = 6.5%

The problem is unclear whether the price is the original price or the discounted price. I am assuming that the price is the original price.

Original price times sales discount rate is the value of sales discount
1,250 x 15% = 187.50

Original price less the value of sales discount is the discounted price.
1,250 - 187.50 = 1,062.50

Discounted price times sales tax rate is the value of the sales tax
1,062.50 x 6.5% = 69.06 

Discounted price plus sales tax is the total cost of the purchase
1,062.50 + 69.06 = 1,131.56
