Answer:

8.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a circle means the circumference. In this question it says the perimeter of a quarter circle is 17.85 miles and we want to find the quarter circle’s radius.

We know that the perimeter of the quarter circle is 17.85 which means that the 2 radii and the circumference of the circle sum to 17.85.

The formula to work out the perimeter of a quarter circle is $2r+\frac{\pi }{2}$ . We can form an equation to work out the radius so,

$2r+\frac{\pi }{2}$ = 17.85

→ Multiply everything by 2 to get rid of the fraction

4r + π = 35.7

→ Minus π from both sides to isolate 4r

4r = 32.55840735

→ Divide both sides by 4 to isolate 4

r = 8.139601837

The radius of the quarter circle is 8.1 miles to 1 decimal place

Lelechka [254]

Answer: 5/7

Step-by-step explanation: 27 and 9 are both irrelevant numbers.

If we see here, it is given that they have a cat. 7 people have a cat! And because those 5 students who have both are listed under both categories, there are 5 students in the 7! Therefore, 5/7 is the desired probability...

In the 30-60-90 triangle below, side s has a length of<br> and side q has a<br> length of

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean triple for a 30-60-90 triangle is, in terms of patterns,

(x, x√3, 2x) where x is the length of the side across from the 30 degree angle, x√3 is the length of the side across from the 60 degree angle, and the length of the hypotenuse is represented by 2x. We have the length of the hypotenuse given as 10. Therefore:

2x = 10 (the formula for the length of the hypotenuse is set equal to the value of the hypotenuse, allowing us to solve for x) so

x = 5. Look up above at the triple. The side length across from the 30 degree angle measures x; if x = 5, then side s = 5.

The formula for the side length across from the 60 degree angle is x√3, and again, if x = 5, side q = 5√3 which is choice C.

the oval track below is formed by a straight section on each side and a semicircle at each end. what is the approximate distance

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

1040

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of the Circle: 439.82

Add that to the length of the rectangle time two: 439.82+(300x2)

That will give you the perimeter around the entire track:

439.82+(300x2)

439.82+600

1039.82

Rounded that is: 1040

X = 1
y = -4
xy = (1)(-4) = -4

answer
C) -4

double check:
y - 4 = 4x + 3y = -(9-x)
-4 - 4 = 4(1) + 3(-4) = -(9 - 1)
- 8 = -8 = -8
