When reading a book, Charlie made a list by writing down the page number of the last page he finished reading at the end of each

day. (He always finished reading a page that he started.) His mom thought his list indicated the amount of pages he had read on each day. At the end of the 8^{\text{th}} day of reading, she added the numbers on his list and thought Charlie had read 432 pages. If Charlie started reading the book on page one, and he read the same amount of pages each day of this eight- day period, how many pages did he actually read by the end of the 8^{\text{th}} day?

Answer:

No. of pages he read by the end of the 8th day = 425

Step-by-step explanation:

Charlie started from page 1 and read the same number of pages each day. Suppose x is the number of pages he read each day, the last page he read on the first day would be:

<u>Last page for day 1 = 1 + x</u>

This would be the first number he noted on the list.

The second page number can be determined by adding the number of pages he read to the last page for day 1.

Last page for day 2 = 1 + x + x

                                 = 1 + 2x

Similarly, the last page he read on the third day is:

Last page for day 3 = 1 + 3x. Similarly,

Last page for day 4 = 1 + 4x

Last page for day 5 = 1 + 5x

Last page for day 6 = 1 + 6x

Last page for day 7 = 1 + 7x

Last page for day 8 = 1 + 8x

His Mom added all of the page numbers and got a total of 432. So,

432 = 1+x + 1+2x + 1+3x + 1+4x + 1+5x + 1+6x + 1+7x + 1+8x

432 = 8 + 8x

8x = 432-8

8x = 424

x = 424/8

x = 53

By the end of the 8th day he actually read 1 + 8x pages. Substituting the value of x in this expression, we get:

No. of pages he read by the end of the 8th day = 1 + 8(53)

                                                                               = 1 + 424

No. of pages he read by the end of the 8th day = 425

What is the volume of a cylinder with base radius 222 and height 666? either enter an exact answer in terms of \piπpi or use 3.1
Leno4ka [110]

In this question, it is given that the base radius is 2 , height is 6 and the value of pi is 3.14 .

And we have to find the volume of the cylinder, and for that, we have to use the following formula

V = \pi r^2 h

Substituting the values of pi,r and h, we will get

V = 3.14(2)^2 * 6 = 75.36 \ cubic \ units

The area of a parallelogram is 96 cm squared the height is 4 cm less than the length what is
andrey2020 [161]
Area of paralellogram=legnth times height

l=legnth
h=height
area=96

lh=96

h is 4 less than l
h=-4+l
sub
l(-4+l)=96
-4l+l^2=96
minus 96 both sides
l^2-4l-96=0
factor
(l-12)(x+8)=0
set to zero
l-12=0
l=12

l+8=0
l=-8, imossible, legnth cannot be negative, disreagard this soultion

legnth=12cm

Find the angle between the given vector in degrees. u=&lt;6, 4&gt;, v=&lt;7, 5&gt; HELPPPPPPPPPP
Paladinen [302]

Recall that

\vec a\cdot\vec b=\|\vec a\|\|\vec b\|\cos\theta

where \theta is the angle between the vectors \vec a,\vec b whose magnitudes are \|\vec a\|,\|\vec b\|, respectively.

We have

\langle6,4\rangle\cdot\langle7,5\rangle=\sqrt{6^2+4^2}\sqrt{7^2+5^2}\cos\theta

\cos\theta=\dfrac{31}{\sqrt{962}}\implies\theta\approx88.2^\circ
