. Find their present ages. 6 years ago a man's age was six times the age of his son. 4 years hence, thrice his age will be equal
ddd [48]

<u>The present age of the man is 36 years and his son is 11 years.</u>

Answer:

Solution given:

let the age of man be x.

and his son be y.

By question

x-6=6(y-6)

x=6y-36+6

x=6y-30. ......(1)

and

3(x+4)=8(y+4)

3x+12=8y+32

3x=8y+32-12

3x=8y+20. ...(2)

substituting value of x in equation 2 ,we get

3(6y-30)=8y+20

18y-90=8y+20

18y-8y=90+20

10y=110

y=110/10

y=11 years

again substituting value of y in equation 1 we get

x=6*11-30

x=66-30

x=36 years

A kite is flying 20 ft off the ground. Its line is pulled taut and casts a 15 ft - shadow. Find the length of the line. If neces
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

height = 20 ft

leg = 15 ft

length of the line = ?

To solve this problem use the Pythagorean theorem.

Height = short leg = b

leg = long leg = a

length of the line = hypotenuse = c

- Substitution

         c² = (20)² + (15)²

-Simplification

         c² = 400 + 225

         c² = 625

-Result

         c = \sqrt{625}

         c = 25 ft

If a cone has a volume of 338 cm^3 and a radius of 6 cm, how tall is it?
Anna35 [415]

The formula for the volume of a cone is V = πr²h ÷3

You are solving for the height, h.

V = 338 cm³ and r = 6 cm

338 = π(6)²h÷3

338 = π36h÷3

338 = π12h

28.16 = πh

8.965 = h

The height of the cone is around 9 cm.

What is interest earned on 3500 invested at 6% compounded quarterly or 12 years
enyata [817]
\bf \qquad \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}&#10;\\\\&#10;A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}&#10;\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\&#10;P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$3500\\&#10;r=rate\to 6\%\to \frac{6}{100}\to &0.06\\&#10;n=&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{times it compounds per year}\\&#10;\textit{quarterly, thus four}&#10;\end{array}\to &4\\&#10;t=years\to &12&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;A=3500\left(1+\frac{0.06}{4}\right)^{4\cdot 12}\implies A=3500(1.015)^{48}

so, the interest earned then will be  A - 3500.
