Answer:

I would set this up as:

let: lesser number = x

greater number = 2x + 5

Restating the word problem:

lesser number + greater number = 38

x + 2x + 5 = 38

Solving: 3x + 5 = 38

- 5 -5

---------------

3x = 33

x = 11

Substitution for the greater number:

2(11) + 5

22 + 5

Answer:

Let the 2 no.s be x and x+15. According to the question,. x+x+15=41. 2x+15=41. 2x=41−15. 2x=26. x=262. x=13. ∴ The no.s are 13 and 13+15=28.

Helen has 48 cubic inches of clay to make a solid square right pyramid with a base edge measuring 6 inches. Which is the slant h

Nikitich [7]

Answer: 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Volume of clay = 48 cubic inches

If we make a solid square right pyramid with a base edge a= 6 inches.

Then its base area = $a^2=6^2=36\ inches^2$

we know that volume of square right pyramid= $\frac{1}{3}\times\ a^2h$

Therefore, volume of square right pyramid made by all of clay= $\frac{1}{3}\times\ a^2h$ =48 cubic inches

$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}\times\ (36)\times\ h=48\\\Rightarrow12h=48\\\Rightarrow\ h=4\ inches.....\text{[Divide 12 on both sides]}$

Now, slant height $l=\sqrt{(\frac{a}{2})^2+h^2}$

$\\\Rightarrow\ l=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}\\\Rightarrow\ l=\sqrt{9+16}\\\rightarrow\ l=\sqrt{25}\\\Rightarrow\ l=5$

The slant height of the pyramid if Helen uses all the clay=5 inches
