Dixon is 6 feet tall,  Ariadne is 4 feet tall by proportion.

What in mathematics is a proportion?

  • A proportion is an equation that sets two ratios at the same value.
  • For instance, you could express the ratio as follows: 1: 3 if there is 1 boy and 3 girls (for every one boy there are 3 girls) There are 1 in 4 boys and 3 in 4 girls. 0.25 are male (by dividing 1 by 4)

We can use the proportion.

We already know that Dixon is 6 ft tall and that his shadow is 9 ft long.

Also we know that the shadow of his sister is 6 ft long.

6 : x = 9 : 6, or 6 / x = 9 / 6.

After that we will cross multiply : 9 * x = 6 * 6,

9 x = 36 ,

x = 36 /9,

x = 4.

Ariadne is 4 feet tall.

The point Z(5, -3) is rotated 270° clockwise around the origin. What are the coordinates of the resulting point, Z′?
g100num [7]

Answer:

(3, - 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Under a clockwise rotation about the origin of 270°

a point (x, y ) → (- y, x ), hence

Z(5, - 3 ) → Z'(3, - 5 )

Kenyl covers the front of a circular bulletin board with fabric that costs 1.48 per square foot. The bulletin board has a radius
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we are trying to calculate the cost of exact amount of fabric used given the cost per area of the fabric.

To answer this question mathematically, we need to know the area of the bulletin board. To do this , we employ a mathematical approach. We know that the bulletin board is circular in shape from the question and thus we calculate the area of this shape.

Mathematically, the area of the circular bulletin board is pi * r^2 where r refers to the radius. From the question, we can identify that this radius is 2.5 feet. let’s insert this into the equation we have.

mathematically A = 2.5^2 * pi = 19.63 sq. feet

The cost of the fabric per square feet is 1.48.

now the cost for this area that we have will be 1.48 * 19.63 = 29.0524

This is nearest to 29

Doss [256]

question 9

a) 2 x 3 = 6m^2

b) diameter = 2m and radius = 1m

c) πr^2 is the equation, so 3.14 x 1^2 = 3.14m^2

and the semi circle is half of that, 1.57m^2

d) 6 + 1.57 = 7.57m^7

question 10

30 x 70 = 2,100m^2

πr^2 so 3.14 x 15^2 = 706.5m^2

2,100 + 706.5 = 2,806.5m^2

i hope this is correct :D
