Answer:

v = 72 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The distance covered by the Patrick, d = 288 km

Time taken, t = 4 hours

We need to find the average speed of Patrick. We know that the average speed of an object is equal to the total distance covered divided by total time taken. Let it is v. So,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{288\ km}{4\ h}\\\\v=72\ km/h$

So, his average speed is equal to 72 km/h.

Here are two sets of numbers, a and b. Set a :200,104,100,160. Set b: 270,400,483,300, x. Mean of set a: mean of set b= 3:8. Wor

LenKa [72]

Given:

The given sets are:

Set a : 200, 104, 100, 160.

Set b: 270, 400, 483, 300, x.

Mean of set a: mean of set b= 3:8

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

Formula for mean:

$Mean=\dfrac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observation}}$

The mean of set of a is:

$Mean=\dfrac{200+104+100+160}{4}$

$Mean=\dfrac{564}{4}$

$Mean=141$

The mean of set of b is:

$Mean=\dfrac{270+400+483+300+x}{5}$

$Mean=\dfrac{1453+x}{5}$

It is given that,

Mean of set a: mean of set b= 3:8

$\dfrac{141}{\dfrac{1453+x}{5}}=\dfrac{3}{8}$

$\dfrac{705}{1453+x}=\dfrac{3}{8}$

$8\times 705=3\times (1453+x)$

$5640=4359
+3x$

Isolate the variable x.

$5640-4359
=3x$

$1281
=3x$

Divide both sides by 3.

$\dfrac{1281}{3}
=x$

$427
=x$

Therefore, the value of x is 427.

Find the volume of a cylinder with a diameter of 6 inches and a height that is three times the radius. Use pi on your calculator

Virty [35]

ANSWER
$V=254.47in^3$

EXPLANATION

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula:

$V=\pi \: {r}^{2} h$

The given cylinder has diameter 6. This means that, the radius is

$r = \frac{6}{2}$

$r = 3cm$

The is height is

$h = 3r$

$h = 3(3) = 9cm$

We substitute the values into the formula to obtain;

$V=\pi \: {3}^{2} \times 9$

$V=81\pi$

$V=254.46900494$

The volume is $254.47in^3$ to the nearest hundredth

HELP PLEASE ASAP..........

Usimov [2.4K]

Volume = l x w x h
180 = l (5 x 4)
180 = 20 l
6 = l

That means that the couch will fit, because the length of the van is 6 ft, which is also the length of the couch.
