Answer:

11 and 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The greater of two numbers is 3 times the smaller.

Let the numbers be

n and 3n

sum is 44

n + 3n = 44

4n = 44

Divide both sides by 4

n = 11

3n = 3 * 11

3n = 33

Answer:

smaller number is 11

bigger number is 33.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets make the smaller number be a, the bigger number 3a since its 3 times a's value

the sum of a and 3a is 44

so we write

a+3a = 44

combine like terms

a+3a = 4a

4a = 44

divide both sides by 4

a = 11.

Now we know the smaller number is equal to 11, but we are not done just yet.

We have to find the value of the bigger number by plugging in 11 into our equation

11+3*11 = 44

11 + 33 = 44

which means the bigger number is 33

Find the area of a circle with a diameter of 6. Either enter an exact answer in terms of pi or use 3.14 for pi
ankoles [38]
So it gives you the diameter but you need the radius of the circle to find the area so to find the radius you just divide the diameter by two. the formula for the area of a circle is A=pi*r^2 so you just multiply 3.14 by 3 squared so you just put it in the calculator as A=3.14*3^2 and you get 28.26 hope this helped
