There is a mountain with 45 bat caves in a row. Every cave has at least 2 bats and there are 490 bats in all. Any 7 caves in a r

ow contain exactly 77 bats. Suppose the first cave has 7 times more bats than the last cave. What is the greatest possible number of bats in the 30th cave?

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The first cave has 7 times more bats than the last cave.  So if the 45th cave has b bats, then the first cave has 7b bats.

There are 77 bats in every row of 7 caves.  So if there are 7b bats in the first cave, then there are 77−7b bats in caves 2 through 7.

Since there are also 77 bats in caves 2 through 8, that means cave #8 must have 7b bats.  Repeating this logic:

#1 = 7b

#2-#7 = 77−7b

#8 = 7b

#9-#14 = 77−7b

#15 = 7b

#16-21 = 77−7b

#22 = 7b

#23-28 = 77−7b

#29 = 7b

So the first 29 caves have 5(7b) + 4(77−7b) = 308 + 7b bats.

Now we do the same thing from the other end.  If cave #45 has b bats, then caves #39-#44 have 77−b bats.  And since caves #38-44 have 77 bats, then cave #38 has b bats.  Therefore:

#45 = b

#39-44 = 77−b

#38 = b

#32-37 = 77−b

#31 = b

So caves 31 through 45 have 3b + 2(77−b) = 154 + b bats.

Adding that to the first 29 caves, plus x number of bats in cave #30:

308 + 7b + x + 154 + b = 462 + 8b + x

We know this equals 490.

490 = 462 + 8b + x

28 = 8b + x

x is a maximum when b is a minimum, which is b = 2.

28 = 8(2) + x

x = 12

There are at most 12 bats in the 30th cave.

Answer: 41.16 cm cubed.

= (0.5 • 4.2 • 2.8) • 7 = 41. 16

Explanation: B = 1/2 base times hight of the triangle. Not the figure.
Remember the figure is also tipped over, and its not up right. So you’ll have to try to imagine and image it standing up right.

Answer:

<em>Option </em><em>3</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting input as fractions if necessary:

3/8, 3/20

For the denominators (8, 20) the least common multiple (LCM) is 40.

LCM(8, 20)

Therefore, the least common denominator (LCD) is 40.

Calculations to rewrite the original inputs as equivalent fractions with the LCD:

3/8 = 3/8 × 5/5 = 15/40

3/20 = 3/20 × 2/2 = 6/40

A triangle with vertices A(0,0), B(6,0), and C(0,9) is rotated 360 about the y-axis. What is the volume of the figure?
Luden [163]

Given:

A triangle with vertices A(0,0), B(6,0), and C(0,9) is rotated 360 about the y-axis.

To find:

The volume of the figure.

Solution:

Points A(0,0) and C(0,9) lies on the y-axis. Length of AC is 9 units.

Points A(0,0) and B(6,0) lies on the x-axis. Length of AB is 6 units.

If a triangle with vertices A(0,0), B(6,0), and C(0,9) is rotated 360 about the y-axis, then it will form a cone with radius 6 units and height 9 units.

Volume of a cone is

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

where, r is radius of the base and h is vertical height of the cone.

Putting r=6 and h=9, we get

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi (6)^2(9)

V=\pi (36)(3)

V=108\pi

Therefore, the volume of the figure is 108\pi sq. units.
