Writing the equation that governs this situation:


-3C - (2.5C/hr)x = -18C


Simplifying, -3 - 2.5x = -18, or 3 + 2.5x = 18


Combining like terms: 2.5x = 18-3 = 15


Then x = 15/2.5 = 6. The temp. will reach -18C after 6 hours.

Answer:

After six hours temperature in the city should be -18 °C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial temperature is -3 °C.  

Rate of temperature decreasing is 2.5 °C/hour. It means negative value.

Final temperature should be -18 °C.

If we write those data as equation we have:

(-3 °C - 2.5 (°C/h)* t) = -18 °C

We can isolate the value of t, t will be the total hours.  

-2.5 t = -18 + 3

-2.5 t = -15

t = (-15)/(-2.5) = 6  

t = 6 hours.

After six hours temperature in the city should be -18 °C.

Answer:

The shortest walking route is through the diagonal AC: 102.89m

Step-by-step explanation:

One can go from A to C using 2 paths:

- ADC or ABC

- using diagonal AC and half of that inner circle.

We need to compute the length of each path.

1) ADC=AD+DC=80+50=130m

2) AC²=AD²+DC²=80²+50⁵=6400+2500= 8900m²

AC=sqrt(8900)=94.34m.

Note that the diagonal AC has a missing segment, whose length is the diameter of the inner circle. So the straight line has a length of: AC-d=94.34-15=79.34m.

Perimeter of half the circle=pi×r= 3.14×(15/2)= 3.14×7.5=23.55m

So, if one is using the diagonal to go from A to C, then he has to walk:

79.34+23.55=102.89m

Comparing the two routes: 130m vs 102.89m, we notice that the route using the diagonal AC is shorter.

Find the volume and surface area of this shape.
Allushta [10]

Answer:

171.65

Step-by-step explanation:

A=2AB+(a+b+c)h

AB=s(s﹣a)(s﹣b)(s﹣c)

s=a+b+c

2

Solving forA

A=ah+bh+ch+1

2﹣a4+2(ab)2+2(ac)2﹣b4+2(bc)2﹣c4=5·10+5·10+5·10+1

2·﹣54+2·(5·5)2+2·(5·5)2﹣54+2·(5·5)2﹣54≈171.65064
