Answer:

  4√(3π) ft ≈ 12.28 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulas for volume of a cone and a cylinder can be used to find the radius of the silo. Then the formula for the circumference of a circle can be used to find the circumference.

__

Relevant formulas are ...

  • V = πr²h . . . . . volume, cylinder with radius r, height h
  • V = 1/3πr²h . . . . volume, cone with radius r, height h
  • C = 2πr . . . . . . . . circumference of a circle with radius r

__

<h3>radius from volume</h3>

The total volume of the silo is the sum of the volumes of a cylinder of height (15 -6) = 9 ft, and a cone of height 6 ft. Both have the same radius: r. The total volume is given as 132 ft³.

  V = πr²h + 1/3πr²h' . . . . . . h = cylinder height, h' = cone height

  132 ft³ =  πr²(9 ft +1/3(6 ft)) = πr²(11 ft)

  r² = 132 ft³/(11π ft) = 12/π ft²

  r = √(12/π) ft = 2√(3/π) ft

<h3>circumference from radius</h3>

Then the circumference of the silo is ...

  C = 2πr = 2π(2√(3/π)) ft = 4√(3π) ft ≈ 12.28 ft

The circumference of the base of the silo is 4√(3π), about 12.28 feet.

kozerog [31]

Answer: C.  6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Time taken by Machine R to do the job = 36 hours

Time taken by Machine S to do the job = 18 hours

Let x be the number of each type of machine to do the job.

Then , according to the question the required equation will be :-

\dfrac{x}{36}+\dfrac{x}{18}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x(\dfrac{1}{36}+\dfrac{1}{18})=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{x}{12}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12}{2}=6

Hence, the number of machines of type R were used =6

Answer:

PB = 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

PQ = 8 cm, BC = 10 cm and AB = 9 cm

∆ABC is similar to ∆APQ.

Therefore:

\frac{AB}{AP} = \frac{BC}{PQ}

Plug in the values

\frac{9}{AP} = \frac{10}{8}

Cross multiply

AP × 10 = 8 × 9

AP × 10 = 72

Divide both sides by 10

AP = 7.2

PB = AB - AP

PB = 9 - 7.2

PB = 1.8

Answer:

32.5

Step-by-step explanation:

% over 100 = is/ of

50% over 100 = x / 65

cross multiply

3250/ 100x = 32.5
