A ship is carrying gold bars and silver bars in the ratio 13:17. The ship's load

1 answer:

4 0

Using proportions, considering the weight of each bar and the ratio, it is found that the ship is carrying 52 gold bars.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Each bar weighs 5 kg, and the total weight is of 600 kg, hence the number of bars is given by:

n = 600/5 = 120.

The proportion of gold bars is given by:

p = 13/(13 + 17) = 13/30

Hence, out of 120 bars, the number of gold bars is given by:

nG = 120 x 13/30 = 4 x 13 = 52.

A circle has a diameter with endpoints at (6, 5) and (8, 5). Write the equation for the circle.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

$(x-7)^2+(y-5)^2=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

The two things that are required to formulate the equation of the circle is the center coordinate and the radius of the circle!

<u>Center of the circle:</u>

The center of the circle always lies at the midpoint of the endpoints of its diameter: Let's call the endpoints A(6,5) and B(8,5).

Using the midpoint formula we'll get:

$(x_m, y_m) = \left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

$(x_m, y_m) = \left(\dfrac{6+8}{2},\dfrac{5+5}{2}\right)$

$(x_m, y_m) = (7,5)$

This is the center coordinate of our circle.

<u>Radius: </u>

The radius of the circle is the distance from the center of the circle to any of the endpoints of the diameter (A or B)

We can use the distance formula:

$r = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$

$r = \sqrt{(x_1-x_m)^2+(y_1-y_m)^2}$

$r = \sqrt{(6-7)^2+(5-5)^2}$

$r = \sqrt{1^2}$

$r = 1$

<u>Equation of the circle: </u>

The equation is written as:

$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$

here, (a,b) are the center points of the circle

in our case this is $(a,b)=(x_m,y_m)=(7,5)$

and r = 1

$(x-7)^2+(y-5)^2=1^2$

$(x-7)^2+(y-5)^2=1$

This is the equation of the circle!
