Acandle burned at a steady rate. after 32 minutes, the candle was 11.2 inches tall. eighteen minutes later, it was 10.75 inches tall. use an equation in point-slope form to determine the height of the candle after 3 hours. round the answer to the tenth place if necessary.

Let
x = time, minutes
y = length, inches

When x = 32 min, y = 11.2 in
When x = 32+18 = 50, y = 10.75 in
Assume that a linear relatioship exists between x and y.

In table form, the given data is
x, min:   32       50
y, in:     11.2   10.75

The slope is
m = (10.75 - 11.2)/(50 - 32) = -0.025

In point-slope form, the required equation is


When x = 3 hours = 180 minutes, obtain
y - 10.75 = -0.025*(180 - 50) = -3.25
y = -3.25 + 10.75 = 7.5 in

7.5 inches

You have 2 sides that are 2 cms and you have 6 sides that are 1/2 cm and you have 4 sides that are 1 cm. the smallest sides are 1/2 the medium sized sides are 1 and the smallest are 1/2. so to find the perimeter you have to add them all up together so your answer will be 11 cm's
