Answer:

115Gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate the Volume - Volume of a cylinder is done by this formula, V=π*R^2*H.

3.14x1.5^2x4.5=V

V=31.79ft^3

2. Find the amount of Gallons it can hold total - V=31.79 Now per 1ft^3 its roughly 7.5 gallons. 31.79x7.5=238.44gallons

3. Find the amount occupied by the water currently in the barrel - So we need the middle point so we have something to go off of, now 2.5ft isn't half of 4.5, 2.25 is. So 238.44/2=119.22Gallons. Now 2.5 is 53.4% the difference is 3.4. So we need to take 119.22Gallons*.034=4.05 now add that to the 119.22 and you get 123.27 gallons used

4. How much is left over? - Take 238.44-123.27=115.17 more Gallons that the barrel can hold.

Hope this helped :)

Fill in the blanks.<br><br> (x+_)^2=x^2+14x+_
Serga [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

(ax + b)² = a²x² + 2abx + b²

In this case, a = 1, so:

14 = 2b

b = 7

(x + 7)² = x² + 14x + 49

Find an explicit formula for the following sequence, an which starts with a1=2/3. 2/3,3/4,4/5,5/6,…
Flura [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1=2/3

sequence is 2/3,3/4,4/5,...

for numerator a1=2

d=3-2=1

numerator of nth term=a1+(n-1)d=2+(n-1)×1=2+n-1=n+1

denominator = 1 more than numerator=n+1+1=n+2

so an=(n+1)/(n+2)

or for denominator a1=3,d=4-3=1

denominator of nth term=3+(n-1)×1=3+n-1=n+2

an=(n+1)/(n+2)

Use Cramers Rule to solve the system <br> 2x - 3y = 11<br> -6x + 8y = 34
Nastasia [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

given :

2x - 3y = 11

-6x + 8y = 34

find : the solutions of the system by using Cramers Rule.

solutions:

in the matrix 2x2 form =>

[ 2 -3] [x] [11]

=

[-6 8] [ y] [34]

D =

| 2 -3 |

|-6 8 |

= 8×2 - (-3) (-6)

= 16-18 = -2

Dx = | 11 -3 |

| 34 8 |

= 11×8 - (-3) (34)

= 88 + 102

= 190

Dy = | 2 11 |

|-6 34 |

= 2×34 - (-6) (11)

= 68 + 66

= 134

x = Dx/D = 190/-2 = -95

y = Dy/D = 134/-2 = -67

the solutions = {-95, -67}

The ages of the people in attendance at the showing of an award-winning foreign film are shown below.
guapka [62]

Definition: A histogram visualises the distribution of data over a continuous interval or certain time period. Each bar in a histogram represents the tabulated frequency at each interval.

According to the given histogram,

0-20 years occur 15 times,

21-40 years occur 40 times,

41-60 years occur 40 times,

61-80 years occur 15 times.

This shows that the data is symmetrical and the majority of the attendees were between the ages of 21 and 60 (40 times).

Answer: correct choice is B.
