Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to set up a system of equations. Let x represent the larger number and y represent the smaller number.

x + y = 17

x - y = 7

We can solve this system by adding them together. The y cancels out because y + (-y) = 0. After that, we solve for x

2x = 24          

x = 12              (Divide both sides by 2)

Now that we know the value of x, we can substitute it into one of our original equations to solve for y.

12 + y = 17      

y = 5                (Subtract 12 from both sides)

So, the smaller number is 5.

The diameter of a sphere is measured to be 4.17 in.
gtnhenbr [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the radius of the sphere we must convert the inches to centimeters

Using the conversation

1 inch = 2.54 cm

If 1 inch = 2.54 cm

4.17 inch = 2.54 × 4.17 = 10.59 cm

<h2>a).</h2>

We can find the radius using the formula

radius =  \frac{diameter}{2}

From the question

diameter = 10.59 cm

So we have

radius =  \frac{10.59}{2}

<h3>radius = 5.30 cm</h3>

<h2>b).</h2>

Surface area of a sphere= 4πr²

where

r is the radius

Surface area = 4(5.30)²π

= 112.36π

= 352.989

We have the answer as

<h3>Surface area = 353 cm²</h3>

<h2>c).</h2>

Volume of a sphere is given by

\frac{4}{3} \pi  {r}^{3}

r = 5.30

The volume of the sphere is

\frac{4}{3} ( {5.30})^{3} \pi

= 623.61451

We have the answer as

<h2>Volume = 623.6 cm³</h2>

Hope this helps you
