What is 6y - 12 = -3x in standard form?

Answers

To get it into standard you need to simplify
6y - 12 = -3x add 12 to both sides
6y = -3x + 12 add 3x to both sides
3x + 6y = 12
And that is in standard which is A + B = C

a cylindrical water tower is 24 feet high and has a diameter of 20 feet. approximately how many cubic feet if water could the tower hold? (answers above^^)

Answers

Answer:

Helloo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this question is asking how much water the water tower can hold, it's asking for the volume of a cylindrical figure. Let's use this formula:

V

=  

π

r

2

h

First, let's find our variables by plugging in our information.

r

=  

(

1

2

)

d

 

r

=  

(

1

2

)

20

r

=  

10

h

=  

24

V

=  

π

(

10

2

)

(

24

)

Following PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract), we'll find  

(

10

2

)

first.

V

=  

π

(

100

)

(

24

)

 

Now, multiply (100) and (24):

V

=  

π

(

2400

)

 

V

=  

2400
