How do you can you solve this problem 37 + y = 87; y =

Answers

37+y=87
y=87-37
y=50
............................

Hi there! :)

Answer:

y=50

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you switch sides.

$y+37=87$

Then, you subtract by 37 from both sides of an equation.

$y+37-37=87-37$

You subtract by the numbers from left to right.

$87-37=50$

Final answer is y=50

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

How do you inscribe a square in a circle?

Answers

Make a square with each side (square root of 2) times the cicrcle's radius (1/2 the diameter) and the square exactly fits inside the circle.

Answer:

You draw 2 diameters through the center of the circle. The 2 diameters must be perpendicular. The vertexes of the square are the 4 points where the diameters meet the circles.

volume of cone=(1/3)hpir^2

V=(1/3)6pi1^2
V=2pi in^3 is volume

divide both sides by 3

An ice cream cone is filled with vanilla and chocolate ice cream at a ratio of 2:1. If the diameter of the cone is 2 inches and the height is 6 inches, what is the volume of vanilla ice cream in the cone? (round to nearest tenth)
----
Total volume = pi*r^2*h = pi*1^2*6 = 6pi in^2
---------------------
Equation:
2x + x = 6pi

3x = 6pi
x = 2pi (chocolate volume)
2x = 4pi (vanilla volume)
