Answer:

QC - PB = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given PQ is parallel to BC then it divides the sides proportionally, that is

\frac{AP}{AQ} = \frac{PB}{QC} = \frac{15}{24} = \frac{5}{8} , then

\frac{PB}{QC} = \frac{5}{8} ( cross- multiply )

8PB = 5QC → *

Given PB + QC = 26 , then

PB = 26 - QC

Substitute into *

8(26 - QC) = 5QC ← distribute left side

208 - 8QC = 5QC ( subtract 5QC from both sides )

208 - 13QC = 0 ( subtract 208 from both sides )

- 13QC = - 208 ( divide both sides by - 13 )

QC = 16

Thus PB = 26 - QC = 26 - 16 = 10

QC - PB = 16 - 10 = 6

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

B. \frac{4}{3}\pi (10)^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A spherical ball just fits inside a cylindrical can, 20 centimeters tall, with a diameter of 20 centimeters.

diameter of Sphere = 20 centimeters

hence radius = half of diameter = \frac{1}{2}\times 20 = 10\ cm

Hence we need to find the volume of sphere.

Volume of sphere = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Here r is the radius of the circle.

Hence Volume of sphere = \frac{4}{3}\pi (10)^3

Hence Option B \frac{4}{3}\pi (10)^3 is the correct answer.

kotegsom [21]
\sf I=prt

Plug in what we know:

\sf I=5000(0.04)(5)

Multiply:

\sf I=1000

Add this to the original amount.

\sf 5000+1000=\boxed{\sf \$ 6000}

So he will have $6000 in his account after 5 years.
