Answer: 7/8

What you have to do here is to find the highest number which can be divided by both. Or you have to divide both the numerator and denominator until it can not be divided by any number anymore. You can do this by finding the highest common factor (<u>HCF)</u> of both the number, 35 and 40.

Highest Common Factor: HCF of two or more numbers is the greatest factor that divides the numbers. For example, 2 is the HCF of 4 and 6.

So, the highest number which divides 35 and 40, is 5. Now 35 divided by 5 is 7 and 40 divided by 5 is 8. The final answer is 7/8 and there is no more numbers which can divide both of them by a specific number.

What is the area of the pentagon, rounded to the nearest tenth?

Rudik [331]

The area of the pentagon, rounded to the nearest tenth will be 32.7 square cm. Then the correct option is C.

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

The polygon is a 2D geometry that has a finite number of sides. And all the sides of the polygon are straight lines connected to each other side by side.

A regular pentagon has an apothem measuring 3 cm and a perimeter of 21.8 cm.

Then the side length of the pentagon will be

5 x Side length = 21.8 cm

Side length = 4.36 cm

Then the area of the pentagon, rounded to the nearest tenth will be

Area of pentagon = 5 x area of triangle

Area of pentagon = 5 x 1/2 x 4.36 x 3

Area of pentagon = 32.7 square cm

Thus, the correct option is C.

Find the area of the figure above. use 3.14 for π. do not round your answer

professor190 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

This is the combination of three figures semi circle, rectangle and triangle.

We will find the area of each figure and will add them.

The radius of the circle is half of the diameter, so radius is 6.

Area of semi circle will be : $\frac{1}{2} \times 3.14 \times 6^2$

Area of semi circle is : 56.52

Area of rectangle is: $length \times width$

So, area of rectangle is: $40\times 12=480$

Area of triangle is : $\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height$

So, area of triangle is : $\frac{1}{2} \times 12\times 5=30$

Adding all these three areas, the area of above figure will be:

[tex]Area = 56.52+480+30

Hence Area is 566.52............... Answer

At noon the temperature was 6°c over the next five hours the temperature dropped another 8 degrees Then every hour until 9:00 te

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The temperature at 9:00 is 14° C.

Step-by-step explanation:

At noon, the temperature was 6° C.

By 5:00, the temperature had dropped to -2° C.

Every hour until 9:00, the temperature rose 4°, so 4•4 is 16.

16 + -2 is 14.

So, the temperature at 9:00 is 14° C.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

15.10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be helpful to draw the figure from the problem statement above. Drawing it, would give you a right triangle shape where the base is equal to 10 ft + 8 ft = 18 ft with the angle of 40 degrees. We use knowledge on trigonometric functions to solve this.

tan (theta) = opposite side / adjacent side

tan 40 = x / 18

x = 15.10 ft
