Answer:

height of the man is ≈ 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

shadow of the man/ shadow of the tree = height of the man/ height of the tree

4/11 = x/18 cross multiply

11x = 4(18)

11x = 72

x = 6.5

Jenny's parents deposit $10,000 for her college tuition in an account with a 3% simple interest rate. How long will it take to e

KiRa [710]

Ok so <span>Interest = Principle * rate * time P = 10,000 R = 3% = 0.03 T (we need to solve for t I = 3600 now we sub.. 3600 = (10,000)(0.03)(t) 3600 = 300t -- divide both sides by 300 3600/300 = t 12 = t check.. I = prt 3600 = (10000)(0.03)(12) 3600 = (300)(12) 3600 = 3600 (correct) It would take 12 years</span>

Hal has a steel barrel with a diameter of 6 feet that can be filled to a depth of 4.6 feet with oil. What is the volume of the b

scoray [572]

Answer:

129.996 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the barrel is a perfect cylinder, we can use the formula to find the volume:

$\pi(r)^2(h)$

First, we have to find the radius, which is:

D = 2r

So the radius is 3 feet, since it is half of the diameter. Then, we plug in the values.

$3.14(3)^2(4.6)$

Now, we solve. Exponents are first...

3.14(9)(4.6)

Now multiply left to right.

28.26(4.6)

129.996 cubic feet

Therefore, the barrel can hold 129.996 cubic feet of oil. Hope this helps you!
