A group of seven adults went to the movies. The total cost of the movie tickets was $30. This doesn't seem possible, does it? Af

ter all, 30 is not evenly divisible by 7. Ah, but there's a hitch. The reason that $30 was the total cost was that some members of the group were senior citizens, so they got to see the movie at half price. How many of the group were senior citizens, and how much did the tickets cost?

Answer:

no. of senior citizens=x

no.of other people=7-x

cost=30=k(7-x)+(k/2)x. k is the cost of a ticket

k(7-x+x/2)

k(7-x/2)-30=0

k=60/(14-x)

now do trial and error substitution for (x<7) until u get a whole number for k also (k<30). if you have the skills you can suggest the number yourself

ie x= 2, k=5$

<span>If you have a $460,000 loan at 6% interest for 25 years; payments should be $2,963.79, not $2962.40. At $2,963.79, $2,300 would be interest, $663.79 would be principal. After that first payment your balance would be $459,336.21.

What is the volume in cubic centimeters of a right circular cone with radius 2 centimeters and height 9 centimeters?
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

V = 37.7cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone is:

V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h

Given:

- Radius = 2cm

- Height = 9cm

Let's plug these into the equation:

V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (2)^2(9)

Now solve:

V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (4)(9)\\V = \frac{1}{3}\pi 36\\V = \frac{36}{3}  \pi \\V = 12\pi \\V = 37.7cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the cone is 37.7cm^3.

We need to attach a support wire to Glendale's flagpole, which is 24 feet high. The
antoniya [11.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

this creates a right-angled triangle.

the right angle (90°) being the angle between flag pole and ground.

the angle ground-wire is 50°.

because we know that the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°, we know then that the angle flagpole-wire is

180 - 90 - 50 = 40°

so, we have the situation to know 1 side and all angles.

to get the other sides we use best the law of sine :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

where the sides and related angles are always opposite of each other.

in our case now we have

24/sin(50) = wire/sin(90) = wire/1 = wire = 31.32977494... ft

so, the rounded answer is that the wire must be

31.3 ft long
