You know where the glacier is now, and how far it moves in
one year. The question is asking how close to the sea it will be
after many years.
Step-1 ... you have to find out how many years
Step-2 ... you have to figure out how far it moves in that many years
Step-3 ... you have to figure out where it is after it moves that far
The first time I worked this problem, I left out the most important
step ... READ the problem carefully and make SURE you know
the real question. The first time I worked the problem, I thought
I was done after Step-2.
============================
Step-1: How many years is it from 2010 to 2030 ?
(2030 - 2010) = 20 years .
Step-2: How far will the glacier move in 20 years ?
It moves 0.004 mile in 1 year.
In 20 years, it moves 0.004 mile 20 times
0.004 x 20 = 0.08 mile
Step-3: How far will it be from the sea after all those years ?
In 2010, when we started watching it, it was 6.9 miles
from the sea.
The glacier moves toward the sea.
In 20 years, it will be 0.08 mile closer to the sea.
How close will it be ?
6.9 miles - 0.08 mile = 6.82 miles (if it doesn't melt)
Answer:
It's easy to figure it out. The equation we have is 8 = y - 9. We need to isolate y. Simply add 9 to each side of the equation to get this: 17 = y.
ANSWER: 17 = y
Exact form: 9/20 and decimal form: 0.45
Some objected to slavery on moral grounds, believing that it violated christian teachings , while others simply did not want to complete economically with slave-owners.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Circumference of the base of the cone = 24in.
Recall that circumference (in this case) is the distance round the base of the cone and from here the diameter D=12in. Radius = 6in
Surface area l = pie x radius ( slant height + radius)
= 3.142 x 6 (20 + 6)
= 3.142 x 6 (26)
= 3.142 x 156
= 490.152in^2
