Answer: x = 2.25

y = 1.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the diagram attached, two similar triangles, ABC and EDC are formed. Therefore, AB/ED = BC/DC= AC/EC.

AB = 6

ED = x

AC = 3

EC = y

BC = 4

DC = 1.5

Therefore,

3/y = 4/1.5

Cross multiplying,

3×1.5 = 4 × y

4.5 = 4y

y = 4.5/4 = 1.125

6/x = 4/1.5

Cross multiplying

6×1.5 = x×4

4x = 9

x = 9/4 = 2.25

What is the volume of a cylinder with the base radius of 10 units and a height of nine units?

Otrada [13]

Answer:

$V = 2827.43\ units^3$ or $V = 900\pi\ units^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is calculated by the following formula

$V = \pi r^2 *h$

Where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height

In this case we know that the radius r of the base is:

$r=10\ units$

and

$h=9\ units$

So the Volume is:

$V = \pi (10)^2 *9$

$V = 900\pi\ units^3$

$V = 2827.43\ units^3$

$\bf \stackrel{150~days}{\textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life}} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &1\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &150\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &74 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{150}{74}}\implies A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{75}{37}}\implies \boxed{A\approx 0.24536}$
