What is the greatest factor of 48x²and 32x³​

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the prime factors making up the two expressions

48x^2: 2 * 2  * 2 * 2 * 3 * x * x

32x^3:  2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * x * x * x

Underline what is common to both

The highest common factor is 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * x  * x

The highest common factor is 16x^2

This may look very simplistic, but try a question like this

5397691 and 3271021

The method I've shown you is likely the only way you could factor these two monsters and they are relatively small numbers.

256π units²   (answer b)

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the surface area of a sphere of radius r

is             a = 4πr²

and so, if r = 8 units, then the surface area is:

a = 4π(8 units)² = 256π units²   (answer b)
