$4

You can get this by setting up 2 equations. One for you and one for your friend. Each should have a cost equation. Let x = adult and y = student.

You: 7x + 16y = 120
Friend: 13x + 9 = 140

Solve using any method.

Answer:

The cost of student ticket is $4

Step-by-step explanation:

let

price for an adult = a

price for a student = b

7a + 16b = 120...........(i)

13a + 9b = 140............(ii)

make a subject of the formula in equation(i)

7a = 120 - 16b

divide through by 7

a = 120/7 - 16/7b

insert a in equation(ii)

13(120/7 - 16b/7)  + 9b = 140

1560 /7 - 208b/7 + 9b = 140

collect like terms

(-208b + 63b)/7 = 140 - 1560/7

-145b/7 =(980 - 1560) /7

-145b/7 = -580/7

multiply both sides by 7

-145b = -580

divide both sides by -145

b = -580/-145

b = 4

Insert the value of b in equation(ii)

13a + 9b = 140............(ii)

13a + 9(4) = 140

13a + 36 = 140

13a = 140 - 36

13a = 104

divide both sides by 13

a = 104/13

a = 8

The cost of student ticket is $4

A cone has a volume of 2560π cm cubed and a heigh of 30 cm.
Korolek [52]

Answer:

r = 16 cm

g = 34 cm

LA = 1708.16 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that for the cone, the formula is as follows:

v = pi / 3 * r ^ 2 * h

the first thing they ask is to calculate the radius, therefore we solve for r

r ^ 2 = 3 * v / (pi * h)

replacing the volume and height, it remains:

r ^ 2 = 3 * 2560 * pi / (pi * 30)

r ^ 2 = 3 * 2560/30 = 256

r = 16

Now, to calculate the slant height, that is to say g, we can calculate it knowing the height and the radius:

g ^ 2 = r ^ 2 + h ^ 2

g ^ 2 = 16 ^ 2 + 30 ^ 2

g ^ 2 = 1156

g = 34

The lateral area of the cone is given by the following equation:

LA = pi * r * g

replacing

LA = 3.14 * 16 * 34

LA = 1708.16 cm ^ 2

the lateral area is 1708.16 cm ^ 2
