Answer:

The model is 6 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios:

10 in.         x

--------- = ----------

40 ft.      24 ft.

Cross-multiplication yields:

240 in = 40x, so x = 6 inches.

The model is 6 inches tall.

3. A prop for the theater club’s play is constructed as a cone topped with a half-sphere. What is the volume of the prop? Round
Mariana [72]

The volume of the prop is calculated to be 2,712.96 cubic inches.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

The prop consists of a cone and a half-sphere on top. We will have to calculate the volumes of the cone and the half-sphere separately and then add them to obtain the total volume.

Step 2:

The volume of a cone is determined by multiplying  \frac{1}{3} with π, the square of the radius (r²) and height (h). Here we substitute π as 3.14. The radius is 9 inches and the height is 14 inches.

The volume of the cone :  V=\pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3} = 3.14 \times 9^{2} \times \frac{14}{3} = 1,186.92 cubic inches.

Step 3:

The area of a half-sphere is half of a full sphere. The volume of a sphere is given by multiplying  \frac{4}{3} with π and the cube of the radius (r³).

Here the radius is 9 inches. We take π as 3.14.

The volume of a full sphere =  V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} =  \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 9^{3} = 3,052.08 cubic inches.

The volume of the half-sphere =  \frac{3,052.08}{2} = 1,526.04 cubic inches.

Step 4:

The total volume = The volume of the cone + The volume of the half sphere,

The total volume = 1,186.92 + 1,526.04 = 2,712.96 cubic inches.

A restaurant has fixed costs of $147.50 per day and an average unit cost of $5.75 for each meal served. If a typical meal costs
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The answer is 118.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to subtract the meal cost from average unit cost for each meal:

7-5.75=1.25

A restaurant profits 1.25$ for each meal. If we divide fixed cost to profit for each meal:

147.5/1.25=118

The restaurant have to sell 118 meals at least each day for the owner to break even

Find the degree of the polynomial: a^3+3a^2−5a
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The degree of the polynomial is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a^3+3a^2-5a

To Find:

The degree of the polynomial= ?

Solution:

The degree of the polynomial   is the value of the greatest exponent of any expression (except the constant ) in the polynomial. To find the degree all that you have to do is find the largest exponent in the polynomial

Here in the given polynomial

a^3+3a^2- 5a

The terms are

a^3

3a^2

5a

The term  a^3 has  the largest exponent of  3

Note:  The degree of the polynomial does not depend  on coefficients of the terms
