We have been given that area of a square postage stamp is $\frac{81}{100} \text{ in}^2$

We have to find the side length of the stamp. In order to find the same, we use the formula for area of a square.

The area of a square with side length 'a' is given by

$A=a^2$

Substituting the value of area in this formula, we get

$\frac{81}{100} = a^2\\
\\
a=\frac{9}{10}$

Therefore, the side length of the stamp is given by 9/10 inches.

amid [387]

There are two bags: a bag with 4 blue marbles and 6 black marbles and another one containing 6 blue marbles and 6 black marbles. the probability of getting a blue marble in the first bag is 6/10 or 3/5 while that on the second bag is 6/12 or 1/2. Hence the total probability of getting two marbles is c. 3/10.

The angle measures of a triangle are (6x + 6)°, (8x - 8)°, and (12x)°. The triangle can be classified as?

Aleks [24]

Answer:

Acute triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add up are those angle equations, set it equal to 0, 26x - 2 = 180, you get x = 7/ Plug that back into each equation, and you realize none of the angles are more than 90. This makes it an acute triangle.

Write the differential equation model that fits the given description. (a) The rate of change of the volume of a snowball (due t

miskamm [114]

Answer:

a) he rate of change of the volume of a snowball (due to melting) is proportional to the square of the volume at time t. Initially, the snowball has a volume of 900 cm3

$\frac{dV(t)}{dT} = A*V(t)^{2} \\$ and V(0) = 900 $cm^{3}$

where A is a real constant, it appears because it says that the change i volume (dV/dt) is "proportional" to $V(t)^{2}$ . Furthermore, we should assume that A is a negative number, because the volume of the snowball will decrease as the time pasese by.

(b) For an insect moving along some path, the velocity at time t is proportional to the square root of its position.

$\frac{dr(t)}{dt} = B*\sqrt{r(t)}$

Here again appears a constant B for the "proportional" part. And i wrote the velocity as $\frac{dr(t)}{dt}$ "the rate of change of the position with respect to te time".
