Answer: Russia earned 13 gold medals, 11 silver medals and 9 bronze medals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of gold medals that Russia earned.

Let y represent the number of silver medals that Russia earned.

Let z represent the number of bronze medals that Russia earned.

Russia earned a total of 33 medals. This means that

x + y + z = 33 - - - - - - - - - - - 1!

In the 2014 winter olympics in sochi russia earned 4 more gold medals than bronze. This means that

x = z + 4

The number of silver medals earned was 7 less than twice the number of bronze. This means that

y = 2z - 7

Substituting x = z + 4 and y = 2z - 7 into equation 1, it becomes

z + 4 + 2z - 7 + z = 33

4z - 3 = 33

4z = 33 + 3 = 36

z = 36/4 = 9

x = z + 4 = 9 + 4

x = 13

y = 2z - 7 = 2 × 9 - 7

y = 11

The volume of a cone with a height of 10 meters is 20 pi cubic meters. what is the diameter of the cone?
lesya [120]

Answer:

2√6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the vol. of a cone is V = (1/3)(area of base)(height).

Here, V = 20π m³ = (1/3)(area of the base)(10 m)

We need to solve for (area of the base).

Multiplying both sides of this equation by (3/10) results in:

(3/10)(20 π m³) = (area of the base)

This simplifies to 6π m² = (area of the base)

We still must find the diameter of the base.  Let's find the radius of the base first:      The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr².  Here we have 6π m² = πr², which tells us that r² = 6 m².  Since d = 2r, and r = d/2, r² = d²/4.     Then the equation 6 m² = r²  becomes:

6 m² = d²/4.

Solve this for d.   Multiplying both sides by 4, we get:

24 m² = d²2, and d = √(24 m²) = 2√6 m  

The cone diameter is 2√6 m.
