This problem is an example of solving equations with variables on both sides. To solve, we must first set up an equation for both the red balloon and the blue balloon.
Since the red balloon rises at 2.6 meters per second, we can represent this part of the equation as 2.6s. The balloon is already 7.3 meters off of the ground, so we just add the 7.3 to the 2.6s:
2.6s + 7.3
Since the blue balloon rises at 1.5 meters per second, we can represent this part of the equation as 1.5s. The balloon is already 12.4 meters off of the ground, so we just add the 12.4 to the 1.5:
1.5s + 12.4
To determine when both balloons are at the same height, we set the two equations equal to each other:
2.6s + 7.3 = 1.5s + 12.4
Then, we solve for s. First, the variables must be on the same side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 1.5s from both sides of the equation:
1.1s + 7.3 = 12.4
Next, we must get s by itself. We work towards this by subtracting 7.3 from both sides of the equation:
1.1s = 5.1
Last, we divide both sides by 1.1. So s = 4.63.
This means that it will take 4.63 seconds for both balloons to reach the same height. If we want to know what height that is, we simply plug the 4.63 back into each equation:
2.6s + 7.3
= 2.6 (4.63) + 7.3
= 19.33
1.5s + 12.4
= 1.5 (4.63) + 12.4
= 19.33
After 4.63 seconds, the balloons will have reached the same height: 19.33 meters.
40! When you add all four angles of a quadrilateral together, you will always end up with 360. So, 360-75-120-125=40 :) have a great day!
Marina is taller because since Juan is 4 feet, he is 48 inches tall and Marina is 52 inches tall so Marina is taller than Juan.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
r = 3 in
h = 7 in
volume of cone = ⅓πr²h = 21π in³
cylinder has radius r = 3 and height h.
volume of cylinder = πr²h = 9πh in³
volume of cylinder is two times the volume of cone
9πh = 2×21π
9h = 42
h = 42/9 = 4⅔ in
