Answer:

You have to take 15 pens to get at least one red pencil.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there were one red and 6 green pens, there would be more red than green pens.

If there were 3 or more blue and thus 18 or more green pens, the number of pens would be over 20.

So there must be 2 blue, 12 green and thus 6 red pencils. So you have to take at least 15 pens to be sure that you got a red one.

Since the bottom shape is a semi-circle, the 3yd is the radius making the triangle's area 7 x 3 / 2 = 10.5

The semi-circle's area is \pi 3^{2} /2 = 14.14

Combined, you get an area of 10.5 + 14.14 = 24.64yd^{2}

lianna [129]

Step-by-step explanation:

here \: given \: that \: total \: lenth = bd = 67 \\ then \: bd = bc + cd \\ so \: we \: can \: write \: that \\ 67 = 3x - 2 + 4x + 13 \\67 =  3x + 4x - 2 + 13 \\ 67 = 7x + 11 \\ 7x = 67 - 11 \\ 7x = 56 \\ x =  \frac{56}{7}  \\ x = 8 \\ thankyou

Two cyclists, 112 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 3 times as fast as the other, and the
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

r = Speed of b= 7 miles/hr

Speed of a = 3r

Step-by-step explanation:

The cyclist are 112 miles apart

Time traveled by two = 4 hours

Speed of a = 3 * speed of b

If a cylcles 3 times More than b, then a will cover 3*distance of b

But speed = distance/time

Time = 4hours

Total distance=112

a = 3b

3b + b = 112

4b = 112

b = 112/4

b = 28 miles

a = 3b

a = 3*28

a = 84 Miles

They bought traveled 4 hours

Speed of a = 84miles/4 hours

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

Speed of b = 28miles/4 hours

Speed of b = 7 miles/hr
