Answer:

DE = 15

DF = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

E___D___F

EF = DE + DF

38 = (3x +9) + (12x-1)

38 = 15x + 8

15x = 38 - 8

15x = 30

x = 30/15

x = 2

DE = 3x + 9 = 3(2) + 9 = 6 + 9 = 15

DF = 12x - 1 = 12(2) - 1 = 24 - 1 = 23

I hope I helped you^_^

Red and grey bricks were used to build a decorative wall. The number of red bricks and grey bricks was 5/2. There were 140 brick
ozzi

Answer:

100 red bricks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say red bricks is equal to 5x

Gray bricks is equal to 2x

We have an equation

2x + 5x = 140

= 7x = 140

Divide through by 7 to get the value of x

X = 140/7

X = 20

Red bricks = 5(x)

= 5(20)

= 100

Gray bricks = 2(x)

= 2(20)

= 40

Therefore in conclusion the number of red bricks is 100.

(1/3) × the cone's volume = The cylinder's volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The volume of any cone is obtained by multiplying \frac{1}{3} with π, the square of the radius (r^{2}) and the height (h).

So the volume of the cone, V=\pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}.

Step 2:  

The cylinder's volume is nearly the same as the cone but instead by multiplying \frac{1}{3} we multiply with 1.

So the cylinder's volume is determined by multiplying π with the square of the radius of the cylinder (r^{2}) and the height of the cylinder (h).

So the the cone's volume, V = \pi r^{2} h.

Step 3:

Now we equate both the volumes to each other.

The cone's volume : The cylinder's volume = \pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}: \pi r^{2} h = \frac{1}{3} : 1.

So if we multiply the cone's volume with \frac{1}{3} we will get the cylinder's volume with the same dimensions.
