The two top NBA players played a basketball game against the RSM team. Together the NBA players made 85 baskets, scoring one poi

nt for free throws and two or three points for field goals. They scored a total of 184 points during the game. If they made 22 free throws, how many three-point field goals did they make?

Answer: 36 three-point field goals.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, set up a system of equations. Let's call the number of  one-pointers w, the number of two-pointers x, and the number of three-pointers y. We are trying to find y here. We also know that w+x+y=85, because that is the total amount of baskets, and also that w+2x+3y=184, which is the total amount of points. We know that there were 22 free throws,  so that means we can take away 22 baskets from the first equation, and also 22 points from the second equation. Now the equations are x+y=63 and 2x+3y=184. Solving the equations using our knowledge of systems of equations, you get that y=36. So, 36 is the answer. Let me know if anything was unclear, and I hope this helped.

Given : Diameter of the right circular cone ==> 8 cm

It means : The Radius of the right circular cone is 4 cm (as Radius is half of the Diameter)

Given : Volume of the right circular cone ==> 48π cm³

We know that :

\bigstar \ \ \boxed{\textsf{Volume of a right circular cone is given by : $\pi r^2\dfrac{h}{3}$}}

where : r is the radius of the circular cross-section.

             h is the height of the right circular cone.

Substituting the respective values in the formula, we get :

\mathsf{\implies \pi \times (4)^2 \times \dfrac{h}{3} = 48\pi}

\mathsf{\implies 16 \times \dfrac{h}{3} = 48}

\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{h}{3} = 3}

\implies \boxed{\mathsf{h= 9 \ cm}}

<u>Answer</u> : Height of the given right circular cone is 9 cm

You are designing a miniature golf course and need to calculate the surface area and volume of many of the objects that will be
laiz [17]
a. To solve the first part, we are going to use the formula for the surface area of a sphere: A=4 \pi r^2
where
A is the surface area of the sphere
r is the radius of the sphere
We know from our problem that r=5ft; so lets replace that value in our formula:
A=4 \pi (5ft)^2
A=314.16ft^2

To solve the second part, we are going to use the formula for the volume of a sphere: V= \frac{4}{3}  \pi r^3
Where
V is the volume of the sphere
r is the radius 
We know form our problem that r=5ft, so lets replace that in our formula:
V= \frac{4}{3}  \pi (5ft)^3
V=523.6ft^3

We can conclude that the surface area of the sphere is 314.16 square feet and its volume is 523.6 cubic feet.

b. To solve the first part, we are going to use the formula for the surface area of a square pyramid: A=a^2+2a \sqrt{ \frac{a^2}{4} +h^2}
where
A is the surface area
a is the measure of the base
h is the height of the pyramid 
We know form our problem that a=8ft and h=12ft, so lets replace those value sin our formula:
A=(8ft)^2+2(8ft) \sqrt{ \frac{(8ft)^2}{4} +(12ft)^2}
A=266.39ft^2

To solve the second part, we are going to use the formula for the volume of a square pyramid: V=a^2 \frac{h}{3}
where
V is the volume 
a is the measure of the base
h is the height of the pyramid
We know form our problem that a=8ft and h=12ft, so lets replace those value sin our formula:
V=(8ft)^2 \frac{(12ft)}{3}
V=256ft^3

We can conclude that the surface area of our pyramid is 266.39 square feet and its volume is 256 cubic feet.

c. To solve the first part, we are going to use the formula for the surface area of a circular cone: A= \pi r(r+ \sqrt{h^2+r^2}
where
A is the surface area
r is the radius of the circular base
h is the height of the cone
We know form our problem that r=5ft and h=8ft, so lets replace those values in our formula:
A= \pi (5ft)[(5ft)+ \sqrt{(8ft)^2+(5ft)^2}]
A=226.73ft^2

To solve the second part, we are going to use the formula for the volume os a circular cone: V= \pi r^2 \frac{h}{3}
where
V is the volume
r is the radius of the circular base
h is the height of the cone 
We know form our problem that r=5ft and h=8ft, so lets replace those values in our formula:
V= \pi (5ft)^2 \frac{(8ft)}{3}
V=209.44ft^3

We can conclude that the surface area of our cone is 226.73 square feet and its surface area is 209.44 cubic feet.

d. To solve the first part, we are going to use the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism: A=2(wl+hl+hw)
where
A is the surface area
w is the width
l is the length 
h is the height
We know from our problem that w=6ft, l=10ft, and h=16ft, so lets replace those values in our formula:
A=2[(6ft)(10ft)+(16ft)(10ft)+(16ft)(6ft)]
A=632ft^2

To solve the second part, we are going to use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: V=whl
where
V is the volume 
w is the width
l is the length 
h is the height
We know from our problem that w=6ft, l=10ft, and h=16ft, so lets replace those values in our formula:
V=(6ft)(16ft)(10ft)
V=960ft^3

We can conclude that the surface area of our solid is 632 square feet and its volume is 960 cubic feet.

e.  Remember that a face of a polygon is a side of polygon.
    - A sphere has no faces.
    - A square pyramid has 5 faces.
    - A cone has 1 face.
    - A rectangular prism has 6 faces.
Total faces: 5 + 1 + 6 = 12 faces

<span>We can conclude that there are 12 faces in on the four geometric shapes on the holes.
</span>
f. Remember that an edge is a line segment on the boundary of the polygon.
   - A sphere has no edges.
   - A cone has no edges.
   - A rectangular pyramid has 8 edges.
   - A rectangular prism has 12 edges.
Total edges: 8 + 20 = 20 edges

Since we have 20 edges in total, we can conclude that your boss will need 20 brackets on the four shapes.

g. Remember that the vertices are the corner points of a polygon.
   - A sphere has no vertices.
   - A cone has no vertices.
   - A rectangular pyramid has 5 vertices.
   - A rectangular prism has 8 vertices.
Total vertices: 5 + 8 = 13 vertices

We can conclude that there are 0 vertices for the sphere and the cone; there are 5 vertices for the pyramid, and there are are 8 vertices for the solid (rectangular prism). We can also conclude that your boss will need 13 brackets for the vertices of the four figures.

What is 2 to the power of -2? My teacher said it does not equal -4… does it equal positive 4??
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 to the power of -2 would be 1/4.

This is because 2 to the power of -1 would be 1/2. And the power of 2 would square the 2 as the denominator making it 1/4.

The reason -1 makes the 2 turn into a fraction is that to the power of 2 means 2x2, to the power of one means 2, The power of zero would therefore divide by 2 so 2/2 = 1 and so 2 to the power of -1 would be 1/2.

Find the area of the shape?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

12π ≈ 37.7

Step-by-step explanation:

                      A = π*r² - π*r²/4

                      A = 3πr²/4

r = 4

                      A = 3π(4)²/4

                     A = 12π ≈ 37.7
