Answer:

1.33 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of any shape is given by cross sectional area multiplied by height. Therefore, V=Ah

Where A is area and h is height

Since their cross sections are the same, then volume depends on height.

If 12cm equals 2 liters

8cm equals x

X=(2*8)/12=1.3333333333333 liters

Approximayely, the smaller pail has capacity of 1.33 liters

Least to greatest, the triples are (2x, x²-1, x²+1). Thus the value in the first column of the table is half the value of the first of the triples. Your completed table will be

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{x-value}&\text{triple}\\3&\bf{(6,8,10)}\\\bf{4}&(8,15,17)\\5&\bf{(10,24,26)}\\\bf{6}&(12,35,36)\end{array}$

arlik [135]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of people = 165
Adult = $6
Child = $2
Total collected = $618

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assumptions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be the number of adults and y be the number of children

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form equations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of people
x + y = 165
Total amount collected
6x + 2y = 618

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: The two equations are x + y = 165 and 6x + 2y = 618
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The question is not asking for it but if you need to solve the equation to find the answer to x and y

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Present the two equations and solve for x and y
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 165 ------------------------- (eqn 1)
6x + 2y = 618 ------------------------- (eqn 2)

(eqn 1) :
x + y = 165
x = 165 - y ------------------------- substitute into (eqn 2)

6(165 - y) + 2y = 618
990 - 6y + 2y = 618
4y = 990 - 618
4y = 372
y = 93 ------------------------- substitute into (eqn 1)

x + y = 165
x + 93 = 165
x = 165 - 93
x = 72

x = 72 and y = 93

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: 72 adults and 93 children
