Hurry and answer this! circle x with a radius of 6 units and circle y with a radius of 2 units are shown which steps would prove the circles similar? translate the circles so they share a common center point, and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 4. translate the circles so the center of one circle rests on the edge of the other circle, and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 4. translate the circles so they share a common center point, and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 3. translate the circles so the center of one circle rests on the edge of the other circle, and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 3

The mass of a marine organism, in pounds, p years after it is born is given by the polynomial function r(p) = -4p2 + 300p. find the mass when p = 20 years.

Nthe opening scene of the movie raiders of the lost ark, indiana jones replaces a golden statue with a bag of sand. the platform on which the statue is placed is designed to detect the mass of the statue. if the bag of sand has a different mass than the statue, then a mechanism triggers and destruction ensues. the density of gold is about 20\text{ g/cm}^320 g/cm 3 20, space, g, slash, c, m, start superscript, 3, end superscript. the density of sand can be estimated at 2.5\text{ g/cm}^32.5 g/cm 3 2, point, 5, space, g, slash, c, m, start superscript, 3, end superscript. the gold statue can be modeled as a cylinder with height 25\text{ cm}25 cm25, space, c, m and radius 8\text{ cm}8 cm8, space, c, m. in terms of \piπpi, what is the mass of sand indiana jones needs to avoid triggering the mechanism?
