Answer:

Sally is 23 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

John's age is completely unknown, so it is known as x

Meanwhile, Sally's age can be represented as 3x+2

The sum of both ages is 30.

So, x+3x+2=30

Combine like terms.

4x+2=30

Subtract 2 from both sides.

4x=28

Divide both sides by 4.

x=7

John is 7 years old.

Sally's age: 3(7)+2=23

Sally is 23 years old.

The coordinates A(2, 1), B(7, 1), C(2, 4) form what type of polygon?

Digiron [165]

Step-by-step explanation:

$Slope \: of \: AB = \frac{1 - 1}{7 - 2} = \frac{0}{5} = 0 \\ \\ Slope \: of \: BC = \frac{4 - 1}{2 - 7} = \frac{3}{ - 5} = - \frac{3}{ 5} \\ \\ \because \: Slope \: of \: AB \neq \: Slope \: of \: BC \\ \\ \therefore \: given \: points \: are \: non - collinear. \\$

Hence, coordinates A(2, 1), B(7, 1), C(2, 4) form a triangle.

Consider a solid spherical ball made of wood. Suppose a hole is bored (drilled) vertically through the center of the ball and th

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The volume of solid is 268.08 inches cube.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solid spherical ball has height 8 inches that means the diameter of the sphere is 8 inches. So, the radius will be the half of diameter. Thus, radius is 4 inches.

Now use below formula to find the volume of solid sphere.

$Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{2} \\Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi (4)^{2} \\Volume = 268.08 \ in^{3}$

Therefore, the volume of solid is 268.08 inches cube.
