DC/AC=EC/BC
x/(x+3)=10/16
10(x+3)=16x
10x+30=16x
30=6x
x=5
DC=x=5
DC=5 units long

10/16=DE/AB, DE=y

10/16=y/10
16*y=10*10
y=6.25≈6.3
DE≈6.3

A cone has a height 25 ft and a radius of 7 ft. Is a reasonable that the volume of this cone is 100 ft3? Why or why not?

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the radius squared is 49 times π, which is roughly 3 means the area of the base is roughly 150 ft².

This means that one third of the height cannot be more than 100 / 150 = 2/3 of a foot. That makes the height about 2 ft, much less than the reported 25 ft.

A bakery the price of the cake is nine dollars more than the price of a pie. One day the bakery sold 8 cakes and 14 pies for a t

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The price of the cake is $24 and the price of the Pie is $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<em>Represent price of Cake with C and Price of Pie with P</em>

$C = 9 + P$

Cakes sold = 8

Pies sold = 14

$Total = \$402$

Required

Determine C and P

To represent the cakes and pies sold, we have the following expression

$8C + 14P = 402$

Substitute 9 + P for C

$8(9+P) + 14P = 402$

Open the bracket

$72 + 8P + 14P = 402$

Collect Like Terms

$8P + 14P = 402 - 72$

$22P= 330$

Divide both sides by 22

$P = \frac{330}{22}$

$P = 15$

Recall that

$C = 9 + P$

$C = 9 + 15$

$C = 24$

<em>Hence, the price of the cake is $24 and the price of the Pie is $15</em>
