The cost of glass is: £4

The cost of mug = £2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g be the number of glasses and

m be the number of mugs

$3g+3m = 18\ \ \ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\6g+4m=32\ \ \ \ \ Eqn\ 2$

Multiplying equation 1 by 2

$6g+6m=36\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

$6g+6m - (6g+4m) = 36-32\\6g+6m-6g-4m=4\\2m=4$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2m}{2} = \frac{4}{2}\\m = 2$

Putting m=2 in eqn 1

$3g+3(2) = 18\\3g+6 = 18\\3g = 18-6\\3g = 12$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3g}{3} = \frac{12}{3}\\g = 4$

Hence,

The cost of glass is: £4

The cost of mug = £2

Diameter=16in

Radius= 16/2= 8in

Area= πr^2

Area= 3.132*8^2

Area= 201.09 in^2

pizzeria2

Diameter=15in

Radius= 15/2= 7.5in

Area= πr^2

Area= 3.132*7.5^2

Area= 176.74n^2

Alex

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b) 1- scale factor from the first map to the second map:

$\frac{8}{6}$ = 1.33

2- landmark on the first map is a triangle with side lengths of 3 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mm.

Side lengths of the landmark on the second map

Divide the length by scale factor:

side lengths of 3 mm: $\frac{3}{1.33}$ = 2.25 mm

side lengths of 4 mm: $\frac{4}{1.33}$ = 3.007 mm

side lengths of 5 mm: $\frac{5}{1.33}$ = 3.75 mm

Two garden plots are to have the same area. One is square and one is rectangular. The rectangular plot is 4 meters wide and 16 m

AlexFokin [52]

side = 8 m

the area of the rectangle = length × width = 16 × 4 = 64 m²

the area of the square = s² ( where s is the length of a side ), hence

s² = 64 ( since areas are equal )

take the square root of both sides

s = √64 = 8 m
