The surface area of the planet is 103,184,713.4 miles².

<h3>What is the surface area?</h3>

A planet has the shape of a sphere.

The first step is to determine the radius of the planet from the circumference.

Radius = circumference / (π x 2)

18,000 / (3.14 x 2) = 2,866.24 miles

Surface area of a sphere = 4πr²

4 x 3.14 x ( 2,866.24²) = 103,184,713.4 miles²

The equation formula of the circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
where (h,k) the point of the center of the circle
and (r) is the radius of the circle
so if the center of the circle = (-2,-4)
by subs. in the formula we get (x-(-2))^2 + (y-(-4))^2 = r^2
then the equation will be (x+2)^2 + (y+4)^2 = r^2
now we want to define the radius of the circle r
since point (3,8) lay on the circle so we can
then subs. in the equation to get the radius
(x+2)^2 +(y+4)^2 = r^2
(3+2)^2 +(8+4)^2 = r^2
25 + 144 = r^2
r^2 = 169
r= 13
the radius of the circle is 13
so by subs in the equation we get
(x+2)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 169
so it is the first answer in the choices

A bag of marbles has 5 green, 2 yellow, 8 red, and 3 purple marbles. What is the probability of picking a red marble, not replac

hram777 [196]

Sample space ={5G, 2Y, 8R, 3P} =18 POSSIBLE OUTCOME

1st draw: P(R) = 8/18 = 4/9 = 0.444
2nd draw (no replacement, means already one Red is picked up, so the sample space has been reduced): P(another one more RED) = 7/17 =0.411

Maria and Edwin have $23.00 each to spend at a book fair, where all students receive a 25% discount. They both want to purchase

KIM [24]

The way Maria calculates the final price of the book is correct. We know that the book normally sells for $26.50 plus a 10% sales tax. We also know that the students will receive an additional 25% discount. We must understand that the sales tax is applied to the discounted price. So first we will calculate 25% of 26.50 and subtract it from that amount. So the price will then be: (26.50 - 6.625). The price is now $18.34. Then to calculate the tax, it will be (10% * 18.34), so 1.834. We add this amount to the discounted price so: (18.34+1.834) = 20.12.

The final price of the book is $20.12 and Maria can get it and still save a little money

In an experiment, a ball is drawn from an urn containing 12 purple balls and 13 green balls. If the ball is purple, two coins ar

UNO [17]

Answer:

4 elements of the sample space will have a purple ball

There are 10 elements altogether

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is given by number of possible outcomes ÷ number of total outcomes

Number of purple balls = 12, number of green balls = 13, total number of balls = 12+13 = 25

Probability (a ball drawn is purple) = 12/25

If a purple ball is drawn, two coins are tossed

1 coin has 2 elements

2 coins have 2×2 = 4 elements

Probability (a ball drawn is not purple) = 1 - 12/25 = (25-12)/25 = 13/25

If a ball drawn is not purple, three coins are tossed

1 coin has 2 elements

3 coins have 3×2 = 6 elements

Total elements = 4 + 6= 10 elements
