Answer:

a = 10/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We write the linear function as follows:

f(x) = mx + b   where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

f(6) = 6m + b = 8

f(2) = 2m + b = 20    Subtracting these 2 equations:

4m = -12

m = -3.

and  -3 * 2 + b = 20 so:

b =   20 + 6 = 26.

So we have the linear function:

f(x) = -3 x + 26

f(a) = 16 = -3 a + 26

-3 a = 16-26

a = -10 * -3 =  10/3.

Answer:

V= 7,241.1

Step-by-step explanation:

V = 4/3 × π × r^3

V = 4/3 × 22/7 × 1,728

V = 88/21 × 1,728

V = 4.190 × 1,728

V= 7,241.1
