Answer:

The two numbers are 37.5 and 25.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

Let the two numbers be x and y

Equations

x + y = 63

x - y =  12

Solution

Add the two equations. The ys cancel out.

2x = 75               Divide by 2

2x/2 = 75/3         Do the division

x = 37.5

Now use one of the given equations to solve for y

x + y = 63

x = 37.5

37.5 + y = 63                     Subtract 37.5 from both sides

37.5-37.5+y= 63 - 37.5     Collect the like terms on both sides

y = 25.5

Check

x - y =? 12

37.5-25.5 =? 12

12 = 12

A cone and its dimensions are shown in the diagram. Which measurement is closest to the volume of the cone in cubic inches?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
20 Cubic Inches^3.

Explanation:

The volume of a cone is Pi*R^2*H*1/3

We know the height, but we are given the diameter instead of radius. So divide 5.625 by 2. You get 2.8125.

Plug everything into the formula.

Pi*2.8125^2*7.5*1/3

(The ^2 means squared, or to the second power)

You get a number close to 20. Since we don’t know Pi, and we are not given a substitute for Pi, we make the answer in terms of Pi.

20 Cubic Inches^3.

Also, people who don’t know the answers to questions shouldn’t just put a random answer for the points. It’s unfair.

What are the relationships among radii, chords, tangents, and inscribed and circumscribed angles?
Mars2501 [29]
These are all parts of circles.

A radius is the distance from the center of a circle to the edge.

A chord is a line segment from 2 different places on a circle.

A tangent is a line that touches the edge of a circle in only 1 place.

Inscribed angles are inside a circle and circumscribed angles are on the outside of a circle.
