The 5.25 m combined height of John, Jim, and Joe, the 12 cm height difference between John and Jim and the 0.09 m difference in height between Jim and Joe, indicates that solution to the word problem is Joe was 1.73  meters tall

<h3>What is a word problem?</h3>

A word problem is a presentation of a math problem using verbal description rather than numbers, variables and operators.

The combined height of John, Jim and Joe = 5.25 m

John's height = Jim's height - 12 cm = Jim's height - 0.12

Jim's height = Joe's height + 0.09 m

Let <em>h </em>represent Joe's height, we get;

Jim's height = h + 0.09

John's height = h + 0.09 - 0.12 = h - 0.03

John's height = h - 0.03

The sum of the heights is therefore; h + h + 0.09 + h - 0.03 = 3·h + 0.06

The sum of their heights = Their combined height = 5.25 meters

Therefore; 3·h + 0.06 = 5.25

h = (5.25 - 0.06)/3 = 1.73

Joe's height, <em>h</em> = 1.73 meters

Jim's height = 1.73 + 0.09 = 1.82

Jim's height = 1.82 meters

John's height = 1.73 - 0.03 = 1.7

John's height is 1.7 meters

Joe was 1,73 meters tall

Find the weight of the cast iron shape shown below at 0.26 pounds per cubic inch. (round to the nearest pound). The height of th
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

<u>640 pounds </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The rest of the question is the attached figure

So, the total volume = V(cylinder ) + V(cone)

The volume of cylinder = π r² h

The volume of cone = π r² h/3

Both of the cylinder and the cone have the same diameter = 14 inches

So, the radius = 14/2 = 7 inches

The height of the cylinder is 13 inches and the height of the cone is 9 inches.

So, The volume of cylinder = π r² h = π * 7² * 13 = 2,001.2 in³

And The volume of cone = π r² h/3 = π * 7² * 9/3 = 461.8 in³

So, the total volume = 2,001.2 + 461.8 = 2,463 in³

So, the total weight = 0.26 pounds per cubic inch times the total volume

                                = 0.26 * 2463 = 640.38 pounds

                                = <u>640 pounds (to the nearest pound)</u>
