Kate sold 12 of her paintings and purchased 7 more. if kate has 21 paintings now, how many paintings did she have to begin with?

1 answer:

7 0

First, let x or any variable represent the number of paintings Kate initially has. After selling 12 of it, her paintings now becomes only x - 12. Then, she purchased 7 more making the number of her paintings become x - 12 + 7 = x - 5. This number tantamount to 21.

x - 5 = 21 ; x = 26

Thus, Kate initially had 26 paintings.

A cylindrical cake with a height of 5 inches has a 30 degree slice removed. If the volume of the removed slice is 40 inches what

sesenic [268]

Answer: $5.52\ in.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Height of cylindrical cake is $h=5\ in.$

$30^{\circ}$ slice is removed

Volume of the slice is $V=40\ in.^3$

Area of slice is

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{30^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\times \pi r^2\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\pi r^2}{12}$

Volume of slice will be multiplication of area and height

$\Rightarrow V=A\times h\\\\\Rightarrow 40=\dfrac{\pi r^2}{12}\times 5\\\\\Rightarrow \pi r^2=\dfrac{40\times 12}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow r^2=\dfrac{40\times 12}{3.142\times 5}\\\\\Rightarrow r^2=30.55\\\Rightarrow r=5.52\ in.$

Hence, the radius of the cake is $5.52\ in.$
