During a school event, Noah is selling pizza at the food stand for $1.25 per slice.

Eddi Din [679]

A book is 0.33 meters long. How many millimeters long is it?

Phoenix [80]

we know that

$1\ meter=1,000\ millimeters$

so

by proportion

Find how many millimeters are in $0.33$ meters

$\frac{1,000}{1} \frac{mm}{m} =\frac{x}{0.33} \frac{mm}{m} \\ \\x=1,000*0.33 \\ \\ x=330\ mm$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$330\ mm$

What is the volume of corn held in this cone-shaped grain silo? Use 3.14 for π and round to the nearest cubic foot. Enter your a

babymother [125]

Answer:

V = 301 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by

V =1/3 pi r^2 h

We know pi = 3.14 r =6 and

We need to determine h

We can find h from the Pythagorean theorem where 6 is a leg and 10 is the hypotenuse

h^2 +6^2 = 10^2

h^2 +36 = 100

h^2 = 64

Taking the square root of each side

h = 8

V =1/3 pi r^2 h

V = 1/3 (3.14) (6)^2 * 8

V = 301.44 ft^3

Rounding to the nearest cubic foot

V = 301 ft^3
