will balance the cube?

Answer:

Three toothpicks balance one cube.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B, T and C stand for bean, toothpick and cube respectively.

If two cubes and one bean are balanced by eight toothpick, this means:

2C + B = 8T

If one cube is balanced by one bean and one toothpick, this means:

B + T = C. Therefore, we have two equations:

2C + B = 8T

B + T = C

Multiplying the second equation by 2, we have:

2B + 2T = 2C

Rearranging the resulting equation, we have:

-2C + 2B = -2T. Therefore, we have:

2C + B = 8T

-2C + 2B = -2T

Adding the last two equations, we have:

3B = 6T

Divide both sides by 3, we have:

B = 2T

Hence, two toothpicks balances one bean.

From the question, we are told

B + T = C

Substituting B = 2T, we have:

2T + T = C

3T = C.

Therefore, three toothpicks balance one cube.

What is the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 18.8 m and a base with a radius of 19.3 m
12345 [234]

Answer: 7,333.32 m3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Volume of a cone = 1/3 x π x radius^2 x height

Replacing with the values given:

V = 1/3 π (19.3)^2 (18.8) = 7,333.32 m3

The volume of the right circular cone is 7,333.32 cubic meters.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Artemon [7]

Answer:

233445.54 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Diameter= 15m

Radius= 7.5m

Height= 5m

Let us first find the volume

the volume of a cylinder is given as

V= πr^2h

substitute

V= 3.142*7.5^2*5

V= 3.142*56.25*5

V=883.6875 m^3

Hence the volume in gallons is

233445.54 gallons  (from conversion tables)
