Answer:  The total number of logs in the pile is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a stack of logs has 32 logs on the bottom layer. Each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs than the previous layer and the top layer has two​ logs.

We are to find the total number of logs in the pile.

Let n represents the total number of logs in the pile.

Since each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs then the previous layer, so the number of logs in each layer will become an ARITHMETIC sequence with

first term, a = 32  and  common difference, d = -6.

We know that

the n-th term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a and common difference d is

a_n=a+(n-10)d.

Since there are n logs in the pile, so we get

a+(n-1)d=2\\\\\Rightarrow 32+(n-1)(-6)=2\\\\\Rightarrow 32-6n+6=2\\\\\Rightarrow 6n=36\\\\\Rightarrow n=6.

Thus, the total number of logs in the pile is 6.

A cylindrical piece of iron pipe is shown below. The wall of the pipe is 0.75 inch thick, and the pipe is open at both ends:
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

(A)398 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a cylindrical piece of iron pipe with the following dimensions:

  • Height = 12 inches
  • Diameter = 8 inches

Therefore: External radius =4 Inches

Since the wall of the pipe is 0.75 inch thick,

Internal Radius =4-0.75 =3.25 Inches

Volume of a Cylinder = \pi r^2 h

Inside Volume of the Pipe

= \pi*3.25^2*12\\=398$ cubic inches

The correct option is A.
