Hi
V(cylinder) = pi*r^2 h |Note the use of ^ (uppercase 6)
r = 7cm V = 4618.1 cm^3
V(cylinder) = pi*r^2 h
V/pi*r^2 = h
4618.1/(3.14*49) = h
30.0cm = h (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Hi
I'M going to a lake that is 60 miles away,an i'm driving 40 mph
how long is it going to take for me to get there?
d = r*t OR t = d/r
60mi/40mph = 3/2 hr Or 1 1/2 hrs

Hi
6x^4-7x^2+2=0
Let a = x^2
6a^2 - 7a + 2 = 0
factoring
(3a-2)(2a-1)=0 Note:SUM of the inner product(-4a) and the outer product(-3a) = -7a
(3a -2)= 0 a = 2/3
(2a-1) = 0 a = 1/2
x^2 = 2/3 x = ±sqrt%282%2F3%29
x^2 = 1/2 x = ±sqrt%281%2F2%29

Hi
Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
Determine whether each pair of equations represents parallel lines.
parallel Lines have identical slopes
3x=5y-2 OR y = (3/5)x + 2/5
10y=4-6x OR y = (-6/10)x + 4/10 OR y = (-3/5)x + 2/5

Hi
The length of a rectangle is 8 cm more than two times the width
Let x and (2x+8cm) represent the widthe and length respectively
Question states***
2(2x+8) + 2x = 40cm
Solving for x
6x = 24
x = 4cm. the width, the length is 16cm. (2*4cm + 8cm)
CHECKING our Answer***
2*16cm + 2*4cm = 40cm
