Answer:

21, 22, 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Construct equations representing each piece of information.

Three consecutive integers are three numbers in a row, for example, 1, 2 and 3.

Let's let

Integer 1 = X

Integer 2 = Y

Integer 3 = Z

X = (Y + Z) - 24

We also know that

Y = X + 1

and Z = X + 2

We can now sub this information into the first equation. We do this so that we can have only one variable in the equation.

X = (X+1) + (X+2) - 24

now solve for x,

X = 2X + 3 - 24

X = 2X - 21

-X = - 21

X = 21

So, the integers are 21, 22, 23

Answer:

They cost 730 all together.

Step-by-step explanation:

One the surface area of the hall is 310m^2.

so, 310 divided by 25 is 12.4, which means they need 13 tin of paint.

The cost for it is 13*10 which is 130.

For the area of the floor, it is 40*15, which is 600m^2.

Which costs 600.

So, 600+130=730.

Find the radius of the sphere with the given volume. Show all work
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

r = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere is given by

V = 4/3 pi r^3

4500 pi = 4/3 pi r^3

Divide each side by pi

4500 = 4/3  r^3

Multiply each side by 3/4

3/4 *4500  = 3/4 *4/3  r^3

3375 = r^3

Take the cube root of each side

(3375)^(1/3) = (r^3)^(1/3)

15 = r
