7/12-1/6=7/12-2/12=5/12

In order to subtract two fractions, they need to have a common denominator which would be 12, so you need to change all the denominators to 12.
7/12 is still 7/12
1/6 is multiplied by 2/2 to become 2/12.
Then you can subtract.
7/12 - 2/12 = 5/12
So the simplest form would be 5/12

By finding the size of each exterior angle of a regular polygon with 24 sides, calculate the size of each interior angle of the

Dima020 [189]

We can find the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon using the formula : (n-2) x 180, where n is the number of sides.

We replaced in : (24-2) x 180 = 3960

So, all the interior angles in this polygon add up to 3960.
-> Each interior angle is equal to 3960 : 24 = 165.

What the surface area of the regular square pyramid?is (Figure is not drawn to scale.)7 cm9 cm A) 120.5 cmo B) 144 cm C) 207 cm

Sindrei [870]

The answer is C. 207 cm. The formula to find the area of a triangle is 1/2 base times height. So the base is 9cm and the height is 7cm. Multiply them and you get 63, but you have to divide by 2 because the formula so you get 31.5 cm. Multiply that by 4 because there are four triangles. So you get 126 cm. Then to find the area of the square, you do s times s. Side times side so 9 times 9 is 81. Add the 81 and 126 together and your answer is 207. hope i helped ya!!

I need help with this problem I didn't really pay that much attention to this part of the subject.

Flauer [41]

To check if a piecewise defined function is continuous, you need to check how the pieces "glue" together when you step from one domain to the other.

So, the question is: what happens at x=3? If you reach x=3 from values slightly smaller than 3, you obey the rule f(x)=log(3x). So, as you approach 3, you get values closer and closer to

$\log(3\cdot 3)=\log(9)$

Similarly, if you reach x=3 from values slightly greater than 3, you obey the rule f(x)=(4-x)log(9). So, as you approach 3, you get values closer and closer to

$(4-3)\log(9)=\log(9)$

So, the function is continuous at x=3, because both pieces approach log(9) as x approaches 3.

A car is moving at a uniform speed of 75km /hour.

Svetllana [295]

Answer to a is 25 km. Reason is that 75/60= 1.25 , therefore going 1.25 km a min. Now myltiply that by 20 and you get 25 km in 20 minutes. Answer to b should be roughly 3 hours and 33 minutes. The reason is that 250 km / 75km/ hour = 3 hours 33 min.
Hope this helps
