Answer:

Speed of the cheetah would be 28 m/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance covered = 518 meters

Time taken = 18.5 seconds

To Find:

Speed of cheetah = ?

Solution:

We are given with the distance and time of the cheetah and we have to find the speed of the cheetah which we can find out by the formula i.e.

Distance = speed * time

Putting in the values

518 = speed * 18.5

Dividing both sides by 18.5

it gives us

518 / 18.5 = speed                               ∴ 18.5 / 18.5 = 1  and 1* speed = speed

28 m/sec = speed

Or Speed = 28 m/sec

Speed of the cheetah would be 28 m/sec

A closed can, in a shape of a circular, is to contain 500cm^3 of liquid when full. The cylinder, radius r cm and height h cm, is
Gemiola [76]
To express the height as a function of the volume and the radius, we are going to use the volume formula for a cylinder: V= \pi r^2h
where
V is the volume 
r is the radius 
h is the height 

We know for our problem that the cylindrical can is to contain 500cm^3 when full, so the volume of our cylinder is 500cm^3. In other words: V=500cm^3. We also know that the radius is r cm and height is h cm, so r=rcm and h=hcm. Lets replace the values in our formula:
V= \pi r^2h
500cm^3= \pi (rcm^2)(hcm)
500cm^3=h \pi r^2cm^3
h= \frac{500cm^3}{ \pi r^2cm^3}
h= \frac{500}{ \pi r^2}

Next, we are going to use the formula for the area of a cylinder: A=2 \pi rh+2 \pi r^2
where
A is the area 
r is the radius 
h is the height

We know from our previous calculation that h= \frac{500}{ \pi r^2}, so lets replace that value in our area formula:
A=2 \pi rh+2 \pi r^2
A=2 \pi r(\frac{500}{ \pi r^2})+2 \pi r^2
A= \frac{1000}{r} +2 \pi r^2
By the commutative property of addition, we can conclude that:
A=2 \pi r^2+\frac{1000}{r}

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? y=8x+3y=8x+3
Mrac [35]

Multiply the first equation by 4 (so that both equations will have 8x terms) and then subtract:  

8x-20y = -24

8x +3y = 68

------------

0 -23y = -92  

Now divide both sides by -23:  

y = 4  

Find x by plugging y=4 into either equation:  

8x +3(4) = 68

8x = 68 - 12

8x = 56

x = 7  

So the answer is ordered pair is (7,4)
