200 miles over 5 inches = 50 miles over x inches

200/5 = 50/x = 200x/250 =

x = 250/200 = 1.25

1.25 inches = 50 miles

A building engineer analyzes a concrete column with a circular cross section. The circumference of the column is 18 \pi18π18, pi

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

$A=81\pi $ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of the column $=18\pi $ meters$

Circumference of a circle $=2\pi r$

Therefore:

$2\pi r =18\pi $ meters\\2r=18\\r=18 \div 2\\$Radius, r=9 meters$

Area of a Circle $=\pi r^2$

Since radius of the cross section of the column =9 meters

Area of the cross section of the column

$=\pi *9^2\\=81\pi $ m^2$

Papessa [141]

Answer: $m>8$

Mustafa could have written more than 8 articles for the newspaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Heloise has written 1/4 as many articles as Mustafa has. Gia has written 3/2 as many articles as Mustafa has.

Let m be the number of articles Mustafa writes.

Then articles written by Heloise= $\frac{1}{4}m$

And articles written by Gia= $\frac{3}{2}m$

The total number of articles = $m+\frac{1}{4}m+\frac{3}{2}m=\frac{4m+m+6m}{4}=\frac{11m}{4}$

Mustafa, Heloise, and Gia have written more than a combined total of 22 articles for the school newspaper.

$\frac{11m}{4}>22\\\Rightarrow\ m>\frac{22\times4}{11}\\\Rightarrow\ m>8$

Hence, Mustafa could have written more than 8 articles for the newspaper.

Answer:

1) 2(t - 7)(t + 1)

2) $32,000

Step-by-step explanation:

v(t) = 2t² - 12t - 14

v(t) = 2(t² - 6t - 7) = 2(t - 7)(t + 1)

x = -b/2a = 6/2 = 3

y = 2(3)² - 12(3) - 14 = -32

(3, -32) means at 3 months, -32 thousand dollars

AVprozaik [17]

All you have to do is divide the volume of the container (43.875) by 5 (length) and 3.9 (width) because the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is V=lwh. So the answer/height of the storage container is 2.25 meters
