Answer:

x= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Ratio= 5:2:x

Combined ratio= 5+2+x

                        = 7+x

Total amount of money= $15000

Let us apply the part to all method

Hence for Matthew whose share = $7500

5/7+x=  7500/15000

Cross multiply we have

7500*(7+x)= 15000*5

52500+7500x= 75000

Collect like terms we have

7500x= 75000-52500

7500x=22500

x= 22500/7500

x=3

Hence the value of x= 3

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

new length=15+x

width=19+x

then area=(15+x)×(19+x)=285+15x+19x+x²=x²+34x+285 ft²

original area=15×19=285 ft²

then 285+98=x²+34x+285

or

x²+34x-98=0

x²+34x+17²=98+17²

(x+17)²=98+289=387

x+17=√387=3√43

x=3√43-17 ft

Which of the following functions gives the radius, r(v), of a conical artifact that is 20 inches tall as a function of its volum
nalin [4]
By calculus or elementary geometry, we know that the formula for the volume of a cone, given pi (the constant), its height h and its radius r is:
V=pi*h*r^2/3
Lets solve this relation for the radius:
3V=pi*h*r^2

\frac{3V}{pi*h} =r^2
\sqrt{\frac{3V}{pi*h}} = r
Now we have found a general formula that gives us the radius of a cone, given its volume and height. We need only substitute height (20in) and pi=3.14 to get the numerical equation: r=0.2185*\sqrt{V}
