Answer:

The metallurgist must use 20 kilograms of the metal alloy which is 20% copper and 80 kilograms of the metal alloy which is 65% copper.

Step-by-step explanation:

We call the alloy 20% copper.

We call the alloy 65% ​​copper.

Let's call the new version you want to create.

When mixing the M Alloy with the S you want to obtain 100 kg of the new alloy

M + S = 100    (i)

Then

0.2M + 0.65S = 100(0.56)    (ii)

We substitute (i) in (ii)

0.2(100-S) + 0.65S = 100(0.56)

20 - 0.2S + 0.65S = 56

0.45S = 36

S = \frac{36}{0.45}

S = 80 kg    (iii)

Now we substitute (iii) in (i)

M + 80 = 100

M = 20

The circumference of a circle is 22π in. What is the area, in square inches? Express your answer in terms of π
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

A = 121 pi in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference is given by

C = 2 * pi*r

22 pi = 2 * pi *r

Divide each side by 2 pi

22 pi / (2 pi) = 2 pi r / (2pi)

11 = r

Now find the area

A = pi r^2

A = pi (11)^2

A = 121 pi in^2
