Write each statement as a proportion using colons. a. 4 is to 20 as 2 is to 10. b. 9 is to 27 as 2 is to 6.

Remark
You should always write proportions the way you normally do first. Most people write a proportion as
4/20 = 2 / 10 Using colons helps to make clear what is comparred all on one line.

4:20::2:10

:: is the equal sign
/ is the division sign.
: (a single colon) takes the place of /

9/27 = 2 / 6

Which can be
9:27::2:6

Note
The colon method is not in current use as much as it was.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We should always remember that a is to b is always represented by single colon a : b and as is denoted by double colon.

Part a 4 is to 20 as 2 is 10

4:20 :: 2:10

Part b 9 is to 27 as 2 is to 6

9:27 :: 2:6

What is the perimeter of the trapezoid with vertices Q(8, 8), R(14, 16), S(20, 16), and T(22, 8)? Round to the nearest hundredth

uysha [10]

Answer:

The perimeter of the trapezoid is $38.25\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of the trapezoid is the sum of its four side lengths

In this problem

$P=QR+RS+ST+QT$

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

$Q(8, 8), R(14, 16), S(20, 16),T(22, 8)$

step 1

Find the distance QR

$Q(8, 8), R(14, 16)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(16-8)^{2}+(14-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(8)^{2}+(6)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{100}$

$QR=10\ units$

step 2

Find the distance RS

$R(14, 16), S(20, 16)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(16-16)^{2}+(20-14)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(6)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{36}$

$RS=6\ units$

step 3

Find the distance ST

$S(20, 16),T(22, 8)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-16)^{2}+(22-20)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{68}$

$ST=8.25\ units$

step 4

Find the distance QT

$Q(8, 8),T(22, 8)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-8)^{2}+(22-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(14)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{196}$

$QT=14\ units$

step 5

Find the perimeter

$P=10+6+8.25+14=38.25\ units$

Which expression represents the lateral surface area of the cone?

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Option "3" is the correct answer to the following question:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Radius of cone (r) = 6 centimeter

height of cone (h) = 8 centimeter

slant height of cone (l) = 10 centimeter

Find:

Lateral surface area of the cone = ?

Computation:

⇒ Lateral surface area of the cone = $\pi$ rl

⇒ Lateral surface area of the cone = $\pi$ (6 centimeters) (10 centimeters)

⇒ Therefore, option "3" is the correct answer.
