Answer:

24m and 25m.

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras Theorem:

h^2 = x^2 + 7 ^2 where h is the hypotenuse and x is the other leg.

But x and h are consecutive integers

so h = x + 1 and:

(x + 1)^2 = x^2 + 49

x^2 + 2x + 1 - x^2 = 49

2x + 1 = 49

2x = 48

x = 24

So the 2 lengths are 24 and 25.

So the vs eliminate each other which leaves the ws and the 1,7. Then you add the 2 ws to get 2w and then add the numbers to get 2w=8, then divide 8 by 2 and you get w=4

Find the height of a cone with volume 4034.66 cm^3 and radius 13 cm.

pav-90 [236]

Volume of cone=4034.66cm^3
Pi×r^2×h/3=4034.66
Pi×13×13×h=4034.66×3
22×13×13×h/7=4034.66×3
h=4034.66×3×7/13×13×22
h=45.57
So h=45.6cm

The Ferris wheel has a radius of 70 feet. The distance between the wheel and the ground is 4 feet. The rectangular coordinate sy

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The equation of the circular wheel is $x^2+(y-74)^2=(70)^2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Radius of Ferris wheel r = 70 feet.

The distance between the wheel and the ground = 4 feet.

Also, the rectangular coordinate system shown has its origin on the ground directly below the center of the wheel.

So the x coordinate of center of wheel must be 0 , and y coordinate = 70 + 4 = 74

Thus, Coordinates of center = (0,74)

The equation of circle is given by :-

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Now center (h,k) = (0,74) and r = 70 , we get

$x^2+(y-74)^2=(70)^2$

Hence, the equation of the circular wheel is $x^2+(y-74)^2=(70)^2$ .
