This question is incomplete because it lacks the required diagram. Please find attached the diagram required to answer the question.

Answer:

14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone = 1/3 πr²h

In the above question, we are given the volume = 314 cubic feet

the height is given in the attached diagram = 6ft

Step 1

We find the radius.

From the formula for the volume of a cone, we can derive the formula for radius of the cone.

Radius of the cone = √(3 × V/π × h

π = 3.14

Radius of the cone = √( 3 × 314 /3.14 × 6

Radius of the cone = √942/3.14× 6

Radius = √50

= 7.0710678119feet

Step 2

Diameter of the cone = Radius of the cone × 2

= 7.0710678119 × 2

= 14.142135624 feet

Approximately to the nearest foot = 14 feet

Therefore, the diameter of the cone to the nearest foot = 14 feet.

abruzzese [7]

Given:

On the first day, she drove 650 miles in 10 hours.

On the second day, she got a later start and drove 540 miles in 8 hours.

To find:

Difference between average speed of second day and first day.

Solution:

We know that,

$Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}$

On the first day, she drove 650 miles in 10 hours. So, the average speed is

$Speed=\dfrac{650}{10}$

$Speed=65$

So, the average speed on first day is 65 miles per hour.

On the second day, she got a later start and drove 540 miles in 8 hours.

$Speed=\dfrac{540}{8}$

$Speed=67.5$

So, the average speed on second day is 67.5 miles per hour.

Difference between average speed is

$67.5-65=2.5$

Therefore, the average speed on the second day is 2.5 miles per hour is faster than first day.

Over [174]

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of best fit is y = 2.599x + 105.08. At x = 20, the estimated height is y = 157.06. The actual height is 160 cm, so the residual is:

160 cm − 157.06 cm = 2.94 cm

What is the solution to this system of equations? Y= 2x - 3.5 x - 2y = -14

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

x=7

y=10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can apply the method of substitution, as you can see below:

- Substitute $y=2x-3.5$ into the other equation and solve fo x:

$x-2(2x-3.5)=-14\\x-4x+7=-14\\x=7$

- Substitute the value of x obtain into the first equation, then the value of y is:

$y=2(7)-3.5\\y=10.5$
