Question

The area of the base of a cylinder is found by dividing the volume of the cylinder by its height. If the volume of the cylinder is represented by 5x2 + 15x + 2 and the height is 5x, which expression represents the area of the base?

Answer 1

x+3+2/5x

Explanation:

Answer 2

Area = x + 3 +
`(2)/(5x)`

Explanation:

Volume = 5x² + 15x + 2

Height = 5x

Area = Volume ÷ Height

Area = 5x²/5x + 15x/5x + 2/5x

Area = x + 3 + 2/5x
