8 0

Answer:

Sam have $\$174$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> amount of money that Sam has

y-----> amount of money that Andy has

we know that

$x+y=340$ -----> equation A

$x=y+8$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$y+8+y=340$

$2y=340-8$

$y=332/2=\$166$

Find the value of x

$x=166+8=\$174$

The formula for the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of length a and b is shown.

fomenos

Answer: $b=\sqrt{c^{2}-a^{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the exercise you must solve for b from the formula for the hypotenuse, as you can see below:

- Square both sides of the equation as following:

$c^{2}=(\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}})^{2}$

- Now you must subtract a² from each side of the equation, then you obtain:

$c^2-a^{2}=a^{2}-a^{2}+b^{2}$

$c^2-a^{2}=b^{2}$

- Apply square root to both sides:

$\sqrt{b^{2}}=\sqrt{c^{2}-a^{2}}$

Then:

$b=\sqrt{c^{2}-a^{2}}$

A cylinder has a height h, and a radius (3h-2)

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

$V= 4\pi (9h^2 -12h + 4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Cylinder

$Radius = 3h - 2$

$Height = h$

$Base\ Area = \pi (3h - 2)^2$

Required

Simplify the volume

The volume is calculated as:

$Volume = Base\ Area * Height$

Substitute values for Base Area and Height

$V= \pi(3h-2)^2*h$

Expand the bracket

$V= \pi(3h-2)(3h-2)*h$

Open brackets

$V= \pi (9h^2 -6h - 6h + 4) *h$

$V= \pi (9h^2 -12h + 4) *h$

$V= 4\pi (9h^2 -12h + 4)$

Gina Chuez has considered starting her own custom greeting card business. With an initial start up cost of $1500, she figures it

nordsb [41]

1500 + 0.45x < 1.70x
1500 < 1.70x - 0.45x
1500 < 1.25x
1500/1.25 < x
1200 < x.....so she would have to sell 1201 cards to make a profit
