1 yard = 3 feet
2 yards = 6 feet
2 feet * 3 = 6 feet
so 5.5 ft * 3 = 16.5 feet, so pole is 16 feet 6 inches
Let us say that:
K = age of Kristen
B = age of Ben
From the problem, we make the equations:
eqtn 1: K + B = 32
eqtn 2: (K – 4) = 2 (B – 4)
Simplifying eqtn 2:
K – 4 = 2 B – 8
K = 2 B – 4
Plugging in this to eqtn 2:
(2 B – 4) + B = 32
3 B – 4 = 32
3 B = 36
B = 12
From eqtn 2:
K = 2 B – 4 = 2 (12) – 4 = 20
So Kristen is 20 while Ben is 12.
Answer:
(a) $60
(b) $180
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of 1 table lamp be t.
Then the price of a fan is 3t.
2(3t) + 3t = 540
6t + 3t = 540
9t = 540
t = 60
A table lamp costs $60.
3($60) = $180
A fan costs $180.
Circumference is equal to diameter multiplied by pi. C=d X pi. To find the radius we need to rearrange this equation. We know what pi and the circumference are, so to find diameter we do circumference divided by pi. D=c/pi. 942/pi = 299.85. This gives us the diameter, for the radius simply divide by 2 which is 149.92 :)
