Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

First distribute the 1/3 to the "a" and the 5, which leaves you with 8= 1/3a+ 5/3.

Then subtract 5/3 from both sides. 8-5/3, which solves out to 19/3= 1/3a. Now times both sides by 3/1 (the reciprocal of 1/3 to get it to cancel out) 19/3*3. The 3's cancel out and you are left with 19=a.

I hope this helped! :)

Answer: a=19

Step-by-step explanation: In order to solve this question, we must first take out the parenthesis, we can do this by taking 1/3 and multiply it by a and 5. This will give us 8=1/3a+5/3, with this we can subtract 5/3 on both sides of the equation, which will then give us, 19/3=1/3a. Last, we can divide 19/3 by 1/3 giving us 19 as our final anwser. a=19

find the surface areas of the larger cone and the smaller cone in terms of pi. compare the surface areas using a percent. (the m
serious [3.7K]

ANSWER :

Surface area of larger cone : 24π units^2

Surface area of smaller cone : 6π units^2

The surface area of the smaller cone is 25% of that of the larger cone.

EXPLANATION :

From the given problem,

AB = 3 is the radius of the larger cone and the slanted height is BC = 5

DE = 1.5 is the radius of the smaller cone and the slanted height is EC = 2.5

Recall the surface area of the cone :

A=\pi r^2+\pi rL

where r = radius and L = slanted height.

For the larger cone, r = 3 and L = 5

\begin{gathered} A=\pi(3)^2+\pi(3)(5) \\ A=24\pi \end{gathered}

For the smaller cone, r = 1.5 and L = 2.5

\begin{gathered} A=\pi(1.5)^2+\pi(1.5)(2.5) \\ A=6\pi \end{gathered}

Comparing the surface areas :

The area of the smaller cone compared to the larger cone is :

\begin{gathered} \frac{smaller}{larger}\times100=\frac{6\pi}{24\pi}\times100 \\  \\ =25\% \end{gathered}

You and your friend are rolling number cubes. Each cube has 6 sides with the numbers 1 to 6. If a sum of 7 is rolled, your frien
Ad libitum [116K]
You don't list the "sums listed below" but I can still help you.
There are 6 ways to get a sum of 7 using a pair of dice:
1+6
6+1    You might be asking why 2+5 isn't the same as 5+2
2+5      Imagine the dice are different colors.  Is a red 2 and green 5 the
5+2          same as a green 2 and red 5?  (No, it's not)
3+4
4+3
You need two numbers that also provide 6 ways to win.  One pair that would work is 11 and 9   There are two ways to make 11 (5+6) and (6+5)  and there are four ways to make 9 (3+6), (6+3) (4+5) and (5+4) - that's a total of six ways.  So to balance your friend's 7 - you could go for sums of 11's and 9's.  Check the choices you were given and find the numbers (it could be three numbers like 2,3, and 12) that give you 6 ways to win.
Here are the numbers and their ways
Sum of the dice                          Ways to get it
2                                                      1
3                                                      2
4                                                      3
5                                                      4
6                                                      5
7                                                      6
8                                                      5
9                                                      4
10                                                    3
11                                                    2
