Let Cedric's age be c
tyshon= 3c-3
3c-3 +c =3c+c-3 = 4c-3
4c-3=57
4c=60
c=15
tyshon=15×3-3 = 42

The volume of a cone is 1540cm³. If its radius is 7cm, calculate the height of the cone. (Take pi = 22/7)

Ann [662]

Answer:

$h=30$

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone=1540 $cm^{3}$ , Radius=7cm.

The height of a cone=h

When we need to find the height of a cone, we can use the formula of the volume of a cone, which is $\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$ to find the height of a cone.

$1540cm^{3} =\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h$

Put the pi value=22/7 and the value of radius which is 7 cm into the formula.

$1540cm^{3}=\frac{1}{3}*\frac{22}{7} 7^{2}h$

$1540cm^{3} =\frac{154}{3}h$

Move $\frac{154}{3}$ to another side. 1540 divided by $\frac{154}{3}$ to calculate what is the value of h, h is the height of a cone. Like this.

$\frac{1540cm^{3} }{\frac{154}{3} } =h$

$30=h$

Rearrange the h.

$h=30$

I hope you will understand my solution and explanation. If you still cannot get the point, you can ask me anytime! Thank you!

10 less than 5 times a number is less than 6 times the number decreased by eight

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The Answer is: the Number is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = the number.

Five times the number minus 10 is less than 6 times the number minus eight:

5n - 10 = 6n - 8

-1n = -8 + 10

-n = 2

n = -2, the value of the number is -2.

Proof:

5(-2) - 10 = 6(-2) - 8

-10 - 10 = -12 - 8

-20 = -20

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)
