The diagonal of a cube can be represented by the formula d = √3a, where a is the side of the cube. Solving 8√3 = √3a gives a = 8cm. The surface area is then 6a² = 6(8)² = 384 cm² .
The sum of -8/19 and -4/57 involves finding a common denominator for the fractions. The least common multiple of 19 and 57 is 57, so we convert -8/19 to an equivalent fraction with 57 as the denominator, giving -24/57. Adding -24/57 and -4/57 results in -28/57 .
Assuming the volumes of the original cylinder and resulting cone are equal and given the same radius, the formulae for their volumes (V = πr²h for the cylinder and V = 1/3πr²H for the cone) can be equated. Solving for H (height of cone), we find the ratio of heights to be a consideration of these parameters, though the document provided incorrect options for the ratio .
Two angles are complementary if their sum is 90 degrees. Thus, the equation x + y - 90 = 0 represents complementary angles x and y .
To find the divisor, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by the divisor's reciprocal. Thus, (5/12) ÷ (d) = -35/18 can be rewritten as 5/12 = -35/18 × d, giving d as -5/18 after simplification .
The standard form of a rational number is when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. Among the options given, -9/28 is in standard form because -9 and 28 do not have any common factors .
Following the encoding pattern from 'MISSIONS' to 'MSIISNOS', the same scrambling applies: 'ONLINE' would be transposed to 'OLNNIE' .
Given X*y = 200 and X - y = 100, solve for X and y. By substitution and simplifying, y = 2 and X = 102, giving X%y = 102%2 = 1 .
The series alternates between steps of +1 and +3. The pattern is: +1 to 4, +3 to 7, +1 to 8, +3 to 11, +1 to 12. Following this, the next step is +3, predicting the next number to be 15 .
For 2 to be a zero of the polynomial, substituting 2 for x should satisfy the equation: 3(2)² - 3(2) - a = 0. This simplifies to 12 - 6 - a = 0, so a = 6 .
