Let's call the 13¢ stamps a and the 18¢ stamps b: a+b = 42 and therefore a= 42-b (formula 1) 0.13a+0.18b= 6.66 In this formula, substitute the value of a according to formula 1: 0.13(42-b)+0.18b= 6.66 Multiply on the left to get rid of the parenthesis: 5.46-0.13b+0.18b= 6.66 Subtract 5.46 from both sides: -0.13b+0.18b= 1.20 Add on the left: 0.05b= 1.20 Divide both sides by 0.05 b= 24 You have 24 18¢ stamps and: 42-24= 18 13¢ stamps Check: (24 x 0.18) + (18 x 0.13)= 6.66 Correct.

Gage is building a model rocket for a science fair project. He attaches a nosecone to a cylindrical body to form the rocket's fu
denpristay [2]

Answer:

305.78 in2

Step-by-step explanation:

The rocket has two parts: one is a cylinder and the other is a cone.

To find the total volume of the rocket, we need to find firstly the volume of each part.

The cylinder has a radius of 2 inches and a height of 2*12 + 5 - 7 = 22 inches, so its volume is:

V1 = pi * r^2 * h = pi * 2^2 * 22 = 276.46 in2

The cone has a radius of 2 inches and a height of 7 inches, so its volume is:

V2 = (1/3) * pi * r^2 * h = (1/3) * pi * 2^2 * 7 = 29.32 in2

Then, we have that the volume of the rocket is:

V = V1 + V2 = 276.46 + 29.32 = 305.78 in2
