Answer:

At a combined speed of 6 in/min, it takes us 24 mins to clean the wall

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the question did not provide the speed with which each student cleans, we can make assumptions. This is so that we can solve the question before us

Assuming student 1 cleans at a speed of 2 inches per minute, student 2 cleans at a speed of 2½ inches per minute & student 3 cleans at a speed of 1½ inches per minute.

Let's list the parameters we have:

Height of wall (h) = 12 ft, Speed (student 1) = 2 in/min, Speed (student 2) = 2½ in/min, Speed (student 3) = 1½ in/min

Speed of cleaning wall = Height of wall ÷ Time to clean wall

Time to clean wall (t) = Height of wall ÷ Speed of cleaning wall

since students 1, 2 and 3 are working together, we will add their speed together; v = (2 + 2½ + 1½) = 6 in/min

1 ft = 12 in

Time (t) = h ÷ v = (12 * 12) ÷ 6 = 144 ÷ 6

Time (t) = 24 mins

A.) Since there are no restrictions as to the dimensions of the candle except that their volumes must equal 1 cubic foot and that each must be a cylinder, we have the freedom to decide the candles' dimensions. 

I decided to have the candles equal in volume. So, 1 cubic foot divided by 8 gives us 0.125 cubic foot, 216 in cubic inches.

With each candle having a volume of 216 cubic inches, I assign a radius to each: 0.5 in, 1.0 in, 1.5 in, 2.0 in, 2.5 in, 3.0 in, 3.5 in, and 4.0 in. Then, using the formula of the volume of a cylinder, which is:

V=pi(r^2)(h)

we then solve the corresponding height per candle. Let us let the value of pi be 3.14.

Hence, we will have the following heights (expressed to the nearest hundredths) for each of the radius: for 

r=2.5 in: h=11.01 in
r=3.0 in: h= 7.64 in
r=3.5 in: h= 5.62 in
r=4.0 in: h= 4.30 in
r=4.5 in: h= 3.40 in
r=5.0 in: h= 2.75 in
r=5.5 in: h= 2.27 in
r=6.0 in: h= 1.91 in

b. each candle should sell for $15.00 each

($20+$100)/8=$15.00

c. yes, because the candles are priced according to the volume of wax used to make them, which in this case, is just the same for all sizes

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

x^2 + y^2 = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

For center (h,k) and radius r, eqution of the respective circle is
