Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, B is between A and C.

$\therefore AB + BC=AC \\ 27 + 11x = 159 \\ 11x = 159 - 27 \\ 11x = 132 \\ x = \frac{132}{11} \\ x = 12$

8x - 2 = -9 + 7x what does x equal

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 2 = -9 + 7x (add 2 to both sides)

8x - 2 + 2 = -9 + 7x + 2

8x = 7x - 7 (subtract 7x from both sides)

8x - 7x = 7x - 7 - 7x

x = - 7

A cylinder has a base radius of 4m and a height of 6m. What is its volume in cubic m,

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

301.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder=pi* $r^{2}$ *h. Assuming you want 3.14 for pi, we can substitue the 4m for r, 6 for h and 3.14 for pi.

V=3.14* $4^{2}$ *6

V=301.44

Since you want to round to nearest tenths, the answer is 301.4

Ellis is painting wooden fenceposts before putting them in his yard. They are each 5 feet tall and have a diameter of 1 foot. Th

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

39.25 cubic feet of paint will be needed by Ellis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder:

The volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is given by:

$V = \pi r^2h = 3.14r^2h$

How much paint will Ellis need to paint all the surfaces of the 10 fenceposts?

This is the combined volume of these 10 fenceposts.

They are each 5 feet tall and have a diameter of 1 foot.

Radius is half the diameter, so $r = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$ . Also $h = 5$

10 fenceposts:

Each has the same volume, so:

$V = 10(3.14)r^2h = 31.4(0.5)^2(5) = 39.25$

39.25 cubic feet of paint will be needed by Ellis.
