along the median. The top base of each tile is 15 inches in length and the
bottom base is 21 inches. How long of a cut will John need to make so that
he cuts the tiles along the median?

step-by-step explanation:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

3/20

step-by-step explanation:

well, there are 20 outcomes, and 3 of them you want. so, 3/20

the answer is:

the correct option is the option b.

to calculate the surface area of the right cylinder, we need to use the following formula:

from the picture we know that:

so, substituting and calculting we have:

hence, we have that the correct option is the option b.

have a nice day!
