<span>You can use Heron's formula to solve this problem.

</span>A= \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} , where A is the area; a,b,с are the sides;  s<span> is the </span>semiperimeter<span> of the triangle
</span>s= \frac{a+b+c}{2}

<span>According to conditions:
</span>a = x
b = x+1
с = 2x-1

<span>Calculate the semiperimeter:
</span>s= \frac{x+x+1+2x-1}{2} = \frac{4x}{2}=2x

<span>Now we can compose and solve the equation according to Heron's formula:
</span>\sqrt{2x(2x-x)(2x-(x+1))(2x-(2x-1))}=x \sqrt{10}   \\  \sqrt{2x(x)(2x-x-1)(2x-2x+1)}=x \sqrt{10} \\  \sqrt{2x^2(x-1)(1)}=x \sqrt{10} \\  \sqrt{2x^3-2x^2}=x \sqrt{10}  \  \  \ |()^2 \\ 2x^3-2x^2=10x^2 \\ 2x^3-2x^2-10x^2=0 \\ 2x^3-12x^2=0 \ \ |:2 \\ x^3-6x^2=0 \\ x^2(x-6)=0 \\  \\ x^2=0 \\ x=0 \ \ \ \O \\ or \\ x-6=0 \\ x=6

<span>As a result, x = 6 is your answer.
 
I hope this helped.</span>

A cylinder has an 18-inch diameter and is 15 inches tall. It is filled to the top with water. A 6-inch-diameter ball is placed w
evablogger [386]

The water in the cylinder will be 1179π in³. Thus, 2nd answer choice is correct.

<h3>What is the volume of a right circular cylinder?</h3>

Suppose that the radius of the considered right circular cylinder be 'r' units.

And let its height be 'h' units.

Then, its volume is given as:

V = \pi r^2 h \: \rm unit^3

A cylinder has an 18-inch diameter and is 15 inches tall. It is filled to the top with water.

A 6-inch-diameter ball is placed within the cylinder, and then the cylinder is filled with water.

We have to find the volume of the empty cylinder and then the volume of the ball.

Subtract the latter from the former.

The volume of the cylinder = πr^2h.  

= π(9 in)²(15 in)

= 1215π in³

Volume of the ball =  (4/3)π(3 in)³

                                = 36π in³

Subtracting

= 1215π in³ - 36π in³

= 1179π in³  

Thus, 2nd answer choice is correct.

Figure out what the percent is
DaniilM [7]

The percentage of data that is roughly greater than 66, as displayed in the box plot, is 100%.

<h3>How to Determine a Percentage of a Data Represented in a Box Plot?</h3>

In a box plot, we have the following displayed five-number summary which tells what percentage of the data distribution for each part of the data distribution:

Upper quartile (Q3): This is the value at where the box in the box plot ends at the edge of the box. From this point to the left, all data values that fall within the bracket make up 75% of the data.

Lower quartile (Q3): This is the value at where the box in the box plot starts at the edge of the box. From this point to the left, all data values that fall within the bracket make up 25% of the data.

Median: this is the middle value at the point where the line divides the box and data below this point make up 50% of the data.

The other five-number summary are the maximum and the minimum values that are represented by the whiskers.

On the box plot given, 66 is at the extreme whisker at the left. This means that the percentage of data that is roughly greater than 66 is 100%.

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

58

Step-by-step explanation:

The submarine is below the sea level by 40 meters. Then, it goes up by 12. That means 40-12=28. The submarine goes 30m down again which means 28+30=58
