Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=24

2x=y

x+2x=24

3x=24

x=8

Answer:

(x + y = 24 where x < y) (Ex. 3 + 21 = 24)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, you can use various combinations of numbers to fulfill the requirements in the question. As long as you don't do 12 + 12, and your sum is 24, any answer will be correct. Just follow:

x + y = 24 where x < y or y < x

Find the surface area of a right cone with diameter 30 in. and slant height 8 in.Your answerEXTRA CREDIT: Find the surface area

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Surface area = 1084 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area of a right cone, we can use the following formula:

$\boxed{{Area = \pi r^2 + \pi rl}}$ ,

where:

• r = radius

• l = slant height.

In the question, we are told that the diameter of the cone is 30 in. Therefore its radius is (30 ÷ 2 = ) 15 in. We are also told that its height is 8 in.

Using this information and the formula above, we can calculate the surface area of the cone:

Surface area = $\pi \times (15)^2 + \pi \times 15 \times 8$
