Answer:

14 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the 2 numbers = 7x : 5x

The sum of the 2 numbers is 24, hence

7x + 5x = 24

12x = 24 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 2

7x = 7 × 2 = 14

5x = 5 × 2 = 10

Thus the numbers are 14 and 10

Answer:

27 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

We can use the formula given: $A = \pi r^2$

<h3>Solve</h3>

Plug in 3 for r and 3 for π.

$A = \pi r^2$
$A = 3(3)^2$
$A = 3(9)$
$A = 27$

Kipish [7]

Answer:

7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

At sunset, the temperature=-5 degrees Fahrenheit

Each hour, temperature falling=2degrees Fahrenheit

We have to find time taken to reach the temperature -19° F.

Let x be the time time taken to reach the temperature -19° F

According to question

$-5+x(-2)=-19$

Where we taking 2 negative because temperature decreases.

$-5-2x=-19$

$-5+19=2x$

$14=2x$

$x=\frac{14}{2}$

$x=7$

Hence, it will take 7 hours for the temperature to reach -19° F.

Answer:

A=78

B=102

C=78

Step-by-step explanation:

A= a and 102 are on a straight line so they add up to 180. 180-102=78. The same goes for C

B= the vertical angle for 102, or the same thing with a and c, just flipped around
