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.

If you were to graph the linear equation 4x+6y=−12 on the semester test, you would need to determine the x- and y-intercepts, pl
goblinko [34]

The x intercept is -3, and the y intercept is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given is 4x+6y= -12

Rewrite the equation in slope intercept form of y=mx +c where c is the y intercept

y=mx+c

6y=-4x-12

y= -4/6 x -12/6

y=-2/3x -2

c= -2

To get x intercept replace value of y in the equation with 0;

y= -2/3 x -2

0= -2/3 x -2

2= -2/3 x

2*3=-2x

6=-2x

6/-2 =x

-3 =x

x intercept is -3

Explain how mental math can be used to estimate a 15% tip on a taxi ride that costs $23.25 Find the tip using that method. Halp
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

$3.4875

Step-by-step explanation:

AS the ride is completed and according the rule the person have to give a tip on the total taxi ride

according to the given

tip given 15%

Total ride cost = $23.25

To find is the total tip given in dollars

Solution:

Total tip in dollars = 15 % of total ride cost

Putting the values of the given

Total tip in dollars = 15 % of 23.25

it can be written as

                             = \frac{15*23.25}{100}

                              =\frac{348.75}{100}

                               =$ 3.4875

So the total tip would be $3.4875

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

17.4456 Pretty sure they want you to round up not sure

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to divide by 100 the get the rate for 1% and then multiply by the actual number in your case 9 you can use a calculator for this to make it easy and you can get it pretty simple this usually works for all percent's if you have multiple like 9.74 use the lowest percent .04 that way you can use it to find the rest I hope this helps :) lmk if you want me to explain more
