24-14=10 that's the half, so he began with 2*10=20

You have to work backwards to solve this. Take 24 and subtract 14. Then take your answer and multiply it by 2. Your answer is 20.

The diameter of the base of the cone measures 8 units. The height measure 6 units. What is the volume of the cone?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The  volume of the cone is  100.48 units³ approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a cone with a diameter of 8 unit   and height of 6 units, we will follow the steps below;

first, write down the formula for calculating the volume of a cone

v= πr²\frac{h}{3}

where v is the volume of the cone

r is the radius    and h is the height of the cone

from the question given, diameter d = 8 units  but d=2r    which implies  r=d/2

r=8/2 = 4 units

Hence r= 4 units

height = 6 units

π is a constant and is ≈ 3.14

we can now proceed to insert the values into the formula

v= πr²\frac{h}{3}

v ≈ 3.14 × 4² × 6/3

v  ≈ 3.14 × 16 × 2

v ≈ 100 .48 units³

Therefore the  volume of the cone is  100 .48 units³ approximately

dem82 [27]

Answer:

x = \frac{7}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we need to isolate it [get it alone on one side]

We should start by simplifying (combining the like-terms of our equation):

5 + 5 = 5x + 5 - 2

10 = 5x + 3

- 3         - 3        (subtract 3 from both sides to isolate x)

7 = 5x

÷5  ÷5   (divide both sides by 5 to find "1"x)

\frac{7}{5}=x  

So, x = \frac{7}{5}

(x = 7/5)

hope this helps!!
