60.
The question gives you the fact that 6 bricks is 2 feet high.
What do you do to get from 2 to 20?
You multiply by 10.
Since you multiplied one thing by 10, you must do it to the other side so it remains balanced.
2 ft x 10ft = 20ft
6 bricks x 10 bricks = 60 bricks
"Half of a number decreased by 27" can be displayed as:
<u>1/2x - 27</u>
Let x = the unknown number to get x = 6
Answer:
x = 9 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cylinder is given by
V = pi r^2 h
We know the radius is x
4069.44 = pi x^2 16
Divide each side by 16 pi
4069.44 / 16 pi = x^2
Using 3.14 for pi
81 = x^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(81) = sqrt(x^2)
x = 9
