Answer: 1/3 pound pecans and 2/3 pound walnuts.

Explanation: 

x ==> weight of walnuts
y ==> weight of pecans

║ x + y = 1 
║ 8x +2y = 6

║ x = 1 - y
║ 8x + 2y = 6

8(1 - y) + 2y = 6

8 - 8y + 2y  = 6

6y = 2

y = 1/3

x = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

Inside a semicircular tunnel of diameter 30 feet, a vertical support beam is placed 6 feet from the side of the tunnel. How tall
adell [148]

Answer:

The height of the beam is: h=12\: feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the tunnel is r = 15 feet

The distance of the beam from the center of the tunnel is:

d_{beam}=15-6=9\: feet

We have a right triangle, where:  

  • The Hypotenuse is 15 feet
  • One side is 9 feet
  • The other side is the height of the beam

Let's use Pythagoras theorem.

15^{2}=9^{2}+h^{2}

h^{2}=15^{2}-9^{2}

h=\sqrt{15^{2}-9^{2}}

Therefore, the heigh of the beam is:

h=12\: feet

I hope it helps you!
