Gnom [1K]

Answer:

$7803.72

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a silo is in the shape of a cone. The silo is 8 meters tall and it's base has a diameter of 3 meters. Soybeans cost $414 per cubic meter. We are asked to find the total cost to fill the silo with soybeans.

First of all, we will find the volume of silo using volume of cone formula.

$\text{Volume of cone}=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$ , where,

r = radius

h = Height

We know that radius is half the diameter, so radius of silo would be $r=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$ .

$\text{Volume of cone}=\frac{1}{3}\pi (1.5\text{ m})^2 (8)\text{ m}$

$\text{Volume of cone}=\frac{1}{3}\pi\times 2.25\text{ m}^2 (8)\text{ m}$

$\text{Volume of cone}=\pi\times 0.75\text{ m}^2 (8)\text{ m}$

$\text{Volume of cone}=\pi\times 6\text{ m}^3$

$\text{Volume of cone}=18.8495559\text{ m}^3$

Now we will multiply total volume by $414 to find total cost.\

$\text{Total cost of soybeans}=\$414 \times 18.8495559$

$\text{Total cost of soybeans}=\$7803.7161426$

$\text{Total cost of soybeans}\approx \$7803.72$

Therefore, it will cost $7803.72 to fill the silo with soybeans.

A grocery store sells a bag of 6 oranges for $2.34. If Mav spent $1.95 on oranges, how many did she buy?

poizon [28]

Answer:

5 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this problem we need to make a cross-multiplication equation

2.34 is to 6 as 1.95 is to ?

? is the number of oranges that are needed to be found that were bought

2.34/6 = 1.95/?

Now we cross multiply 6 and 1.95 = 11.7

11.7/2.34 = 5

Give brainliest, please!
hope this helps :)

A telephone pole has a wire to its top that is anchored to the ground. The distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor po

Bumek [7]

Answer:

The height of the pole is 105ft,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call $h$ the height of the pole, then we know that the distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor point is 49, or it is $h - 49$ .

The wire length $d$ is 14 ft longer than height $h$ , hence

$d= h+14$ .

Thus we get a right triangle with hypotenuse $d= y+14$ , perpendicular $h$ , and base $h-49$ ; therefore, the Pythagorean theorem gives

$(h-49)^2+h^2 = (h+14)^2$

which upon expanding we get:

$h^2-98h+2401 = h^2+28h+196$

further simplification gives

$h^2-126h+2205=0$ ,

which is a quadratic equation with solutions

$h =21ft\\h = 105ft.$

Since the first solution $h =21ft$ will give the triangle base length of $21ft-49ft = -28ft$ which is negative; therefore, we disregard it and pick the solution $h = 105ft$ .
