I would start by setting up a chart like I did below.

Label one column age now and the other age in 5 years.

Since we don't know the son's age we use x.

We do know that the man's age is 4 times the son's age.

So the man's age will be 4x.

In the age in 5 year column, we add 5 to their current ages.

Now set up our equation.

Since it says "in five years" we use information in second column.

In 5 years time, he, "4x + 5", will be, equals,

3 times as old as his son, "3(x + 5)".

So we have 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5).

Solving from here, we find that x = 10.

So the son is 10 and the man is 4 times his age or 40.

Answer:

Median

Step-by-step explanation:

Center of distribution is the middle of a distribution, much like the median. The median of a set of numbers is the number in the middle. Since these two are pretty similar, median would be the best to describe the centers of distribution out of the terms provided.

Edit: I'm leaning towards B.) Both aren't symmetrical

What is the exact volume of the cone? with a 5 ft radius and a 16 ft height
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The volume is 418.93 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the volume of a cone

Mathematically, we use the formula;

V = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h

r = 5 ft

h = 16 ft

Substituting these values;

V = 1/3 * 3.142 * 5^2 * 16

V = 418.93 ft^3
