Answer:
a =7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2+ b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
a^2 + 10 ^2 = 12.5^2
a^2 + 100 =156.25
Subtract 100 from each side
a^2 = 56.25
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(a^2) = sqrt( 56.25)
a =7.5
If there are 189 children, then there are 189 divided 7 = <em>27 groups of 7 children.</em>
As mentioned in the problem,<em> for every 7 children, there are 2 caretakers </em>therefore, there are a total of 2 x 27 = 54 caretakers in the local daycare.
So, in total, there are 189 children + 54 caretakers = 243 people in the daycare facility.
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the equation of the line, and let y = 0. Then solve for x.
y = 2/3 x - 6
Let y = 0:
0 = 2/3 x - 6
Add 6 to both sides.
6 = 2/3 x
Multiply both sides by 3/2.
3/2 * 6 = x
x = 9
Ur x axis will be the number of cans and ur y axis will be the weight in oz
u will label ur x axis( the number of cans) in intervals of 1......from 0 to 4
u will label ur y axis (the weight) in intervals of 10....from 0 to 40
ur equation would be : y = 10x
points on this line are : (0,0), (1,10), (2,20), (3,30), (4,40)
The question is incorrect. X is not defined UNLESS the hexagon is a regular hexagon, which means that all sides are equal (given) AND all angles are equal (not given).
Error in question aside, and ASSUMING the hexagon is regular, you can apply the principle that
1. the sum of exterior angles of ANY polygon is 360.
2. the sum of exterior angles and interior angles at EACH vertex is 180.
3. Multiply sum from (2) above by the number of vertices and subtract 360 gives the sum of the interior angles.
4. IF the polygon is regular (all angles equal), then each interior angle equals the result from (3) divided by n, the number of vertices.
Example for a regular heptagon (7 sides, 7 verfices).
1. Sum of exterior angles = 360
2. sum of interior and exterior angles at EACH vertex=180
3. multiply 180 by 7, subtract 360
180*7-360=900
4. since heptagon is regular, each interior angle equals 900/7=128.57 deg.
