Estimate how many tennis balls can fit into a small room

Mathematics

a tennis ball has a diameter of about 2.5 inches

so volume of a tennis ball is: 4/3 x pi x r^3 = 8.2 cubic inches ( estimating you could say 8 cubic inches

1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches

so you could fit 1728/8 = 216 tennis balls in a cubic foot.( estimated)

you would then need to calculate the volume of the room

lets say a small room is 9 foo by 9 foot by 8 feet high

9 x 9 x 8 = 648 square feet

now multiply the 216 by the square feet of the room

216 * 648 = 139,968tennis balls

now because they are round, there will be empty space around them

so you could estimate about 139,000 tennis balls would fit I a 9 x 9 room that is 8 feet high.

You didn't give the dimensions of the room, but this gives you the idea of how to estimate

I mean...the number ends in a even number, you could go by 2's, or is that not what you mean. I can help you some other way if you could explain a bit more :)

Sovle the system of linear equations by graphing y=2x-1 y=x+1

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

2x-1=x+1

2x-x=x

1+1=2

x=2

Knowing x's value, we substitute it with the equations

y=x+1

y=2+1

or y=2x-1

y=2(2)-1

y=4-1

y=3

(2,3) are your coordinates :D

Surface area is just the area of all these 4 triangles plus the rectangle.

First we can find the area of the rectangle.

$\sf A=lw$

Half of the length is 28 cm, so the full length must be 28 * 2 = 56 cm.

$\sf A=(56)(27)$

$\sf A=1512cm^2$

The base for the left and right triangles are 27. The heights would be the net length minus half the length of the rectangle:

$\sf 82.8-28=54.8\? cm$

Calculate the area:

$\sf A=\dfrac{1}{2}bh$

$\sf A=\dfrac{1}{2}(27)(54.8)$

$\sf A=739.8\?cm^2$

We have two of these triangles.

$\sf 739.8\times 2=1479.6\? cm^2$

Now do the other two pair of triangles. The bases for them are 28 + 28 = 56 cm. The heights would be the net width minus the width of the rectangle:

$\sf 81.2-27=54.2\?cm$

Now find the area:

$\sf A=\dfrac{1}{2}bh$

$\sf A=\dfrac{1}{2}(56)(54.2)$

$\sf A=1517.6\? cm^2$

We have two of these triangles.

$\sf 1517.6\times 2=3035.2\?cm^2$

Add all the areas together:

$\sf 1512+1479.6+3035.2=\boxed{\sf 6026.80\? cm^2}$

Answer:

2S + J = 24000

Step-by-step explanation:

let Susan be S

let Jinan be J

they paid 24000

susan paid twice as muh as jinan did

2S + J = 24000

therefore equation is

2S + J = 24000
