Answer:

The actual water in the tank is 29.76 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the farmer estimated amount of water is 25 gallons.

It is also given that he underestimate the water in tank by 16%.

Let the actual water in tank be x.

$(1-\frac{16}{100})x=25$

$(\frac{100-16}{100})x=25$

$84x=25\times 100$

$x=\frac{2500}{84}$

$x=29.7619$

$x\approx 29.76$

Therefore the actual water in the tank is 29.76 gallons.

What is the volume of a square pyramids

frozen [14]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{V=75\ in^3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula ogf a volume of a pyramid:

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}BH$

B - area of a base

H - height

We have a base length a = 5 in and a height H = 9 in.

In the base we have a square. The formula of an area of a square is:

$B=a^2$

Substitute:

$B=5^2=25\ in^2$

Calculate the volume:

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}(25)(9)=(25)(3)=75\ in^3$

Does anyone know the answer to this scale and unit conversion GED math problem? Thank you very much!

Answer:

Flour $5\dfrac{1}{2}\ c$

Sugar $2\dfrac{2}{3}\ c$

Butter $1\dfrac{1}{2}\ c$

Eggs $2$

Baking powder $7\ t$

Vanilla extract $3\ t$

Step-by-step explanation:

There will be 16 people at the party. Each person will eat 3 cookies, so all people will eat $16\cdot 3=48$ cookies.

Given cookie recipe makes 24 cookies, so to make 48 cookies you need

$48:24=2$ portions.

Thus,

1 portion 2 portions

Flour $2 \dfrac{3}{4}\ c$ $2\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot 2=2\cdot 2+\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot 2=4+\dfrac{3}{2}=4+1 \dfrac{1}{2}=5\dfrac{1}{2}\ c$

Sugar $1\dfrac{1}{3}\ c$ $1\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot 2=1\cdot 2+\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot 2=2+\dfrac{2}{3}=2\dfrac{2}{3}\ c$

Butter $\dfrac{3}{4}\ c$ $\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot 2=\dfrac{3}{2}=1\dfrac{1}{2}\ c$

Eggs $1$ $1\cdot 2=2$

Powder $3\dfrac{1}{2}\ t$ $3\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2=3\cdot 2+\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2=6+1=7\ t$

Vanilla $1\dfrac{1}{2}\ t$ $1\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2=1\cdot 2+\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2=2+1=3\ t$

Answer:

Equilateral triangles are always acute triangles.

Scalene triangles are sometimes acute triangles.

Right triangles are never acute triangles.

Obtuse triangles are sometimes isosceles triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equilateral triangles are always acute because each angle is 60⁰.

Scalene triangles have sides that are different lengths. They can be right, obtuse, or acute.

A right triangle is never acute because it has a 90⁰ angle. Acute means all angles are less than 90⁰.

An obtuse triangle can be either scalene or isosceles. It always has one angle greater than 90⁰ (obtuse).
