 x = longer section
y = shorter section

x + y = 109
x = 2y + 10

so we sub in eq 2 into eq 1
2y + 10 + y = 109
3y + 10 = 109
3y = 109 - 10
3y = 99
y = 99/3
y = 33 <=== shorter section is 33 cm

x = 2y + 10
x = 2(33) + 10
x = 66 + 10
x = 76 <=== longer section is 76 cm

Mr. Monasterio ran to the store for burritos at 4 miles per hour. On the way back, he increased his speed to 6 miles per hour. I
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

It took 1.2 hours to get to the store

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken to reach the store be t₁

Let the time taken to come back be t₂

Let the speed to and from store = s₁ and s₂ respectively

let the distance to the store = d

To the store:

speed = \frac{distance}{time} \\s = \frac{d}{t_1} \\t_1 = \frac{d}{s_1}\\t_1 =\frac{d}{4} - - - - - (1)

Back from the store:

s_2 = \frac{d}{t_2} \\t_2 = \frac{d}{s_2}\\where:\\s_2 = 6\ miles\ per\ hour\\t_2 = \frac{d}{6} - - - - - - (2)

We are told that total time (t₁ + t₂) = 2 hours

t₁ + t₂ = eqn (1) + eqn (2)

\frac{d}{4} + \frac{d}{6} = 2\\Multiplying\ through\ by\ 12:\\3d\ +\ 2d\ =\ 24\\5d = 24\\d = \frac{24}{5} \\d = 4.8\ miles

∴ length of trip to the store = t₁

from eqn (1)

t_1 = \frac{d}{4} \\t_1 = \frac{4.8}{4} \\t_1 = 1.2\ hours

What is the volume rounded to the nearest whole number?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

13 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a skewed pyramid, but that doesn't change the way you find the volume of the figure.

The formula for the volume of a pyramid is 1/3(b)(h)

Multiply 6 by 6.5 to get 39, then divide it by 3 to get 13 in³
