The sum of the area of 2 circles is 80pi square meters. Find the length of a radius of each circle if one of them is twice as lo

IgorC [24]

80p=pr^2+p(2r)^2
80p=pr^2+4pr^2
80=r^2+4r^2
80=5r^2
16=r^2
r=4 for the smaller circle´s radius, and 8 is the larger circle´s radius.

Have a nice day, I hope this was helpful :D

Find a formula for the sum of the first n even integers : 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2n.

Sedbober [7]

Let S be the sum,

S = 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2 (n - 2) + 2 (n - 1) + 2n

Reverse the order of terms:

S = 2n + 2 (n - 1) + 2 (n - 2) + ... + 6 + 4 + 2

Add up terms in the same positions, so that twice the sum is

2S = (2n + 2) + (2n + 2) + (2n + 2) + ... + (2n + 2)

2S = n (2n + 2)

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for S :

S = n (n + 1)

A cylinder has a volume of 540 cm cubed. if the height of the cylidner is 15 cm, find the radius.

Tamiku [17]

You should always remember that a cylinder consists of circles that are all over each other to form the height of the cylinder.
So the volume of the cylinder= the area of the surface circle* the height.
$V=540=\pi r^2*h= \pi r^2*15$
Then,
$r^2= \frac{540}{15 \pi }$
So, $r= \sqrt{\frac{540}{15 \pi }}$
radius is approximately 3.4cm

What is the value of x in the solution to the following system of equations?

denis-greek [22]

U can use elimination and multiply all the terms in the top expression to get 3x-3y = -4, or 4x = -4, so x = -1. plug it in to find y if needed
