<span>Correct answer: B
The first thing to be done is to convert the 2 tons into pounds.
1 pound is equal to 0.0005 tons (US). So, 2 tons divided by 0.0005 will give us the aluminium pounds per week that are processed by the Recycling Centre B.
</span>\frac{2}{0.0005}=4000
<span>Recycling Centre B processes 4000 pounds/week. In order to compare to Recycling Centre A, we need to find the rate in pounds per hour. To do so divide the 4000 pounds by 168 (24</span>×7 = number of hours in a week).
\frac{4000}{168}≈23.8
The Recycling Centre B processes about 23.8 pounds/hour whereas the Recycling Centre A processes 100pounds/hour.

Find the slant height l of the cone given the surface area S.
Oduvanchick [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the surface area of the cone is ...

  A = πr² +πrL =  πr(r +L)

The radius of this cone is half its diameter so is (12 cm)/2 = 6 cm. Then the slant height L can be found from ...

  126π cm² = π(6 cm)(6 cm +L)

  21 cm = 6 cm +L . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6π cm

  15 cm = L . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6 cm

The slant height is 15 centimeters.
