Why do we use letters in mathematics?

I would say we use letters in mathematics so you can understand the problem more or whats really happening for example if they ask you question about how many people went to the party and bought stuff without the letters and only numbers you'll be confused...like umm...how many people went what are the stuff they bought.Or another example is if the question only had an empty graph.People would be like what do I have to do with the empty graph.What's the problem etc.So math problems without letters would be confusing.

A circle with radius of 5 cm sits inside a 11 cm * 11 cm rectangle.
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

42.43  cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A circle with a radius of 5 cm sits inside a 11 cm x 11 cm rectangle.

Question asked:

What is the area of the shaded region as shown in the figure ?

Solution:

First of all calculate area of circle and then area of rectangle:-

Area\ of\  cirle=\pi r^{2}

                      =\frac{22}{7} \times5\times5\\ \\ =\frac{550}{7}\\  \\=78.571\   cm^{2}\\

<u>As here length an width both are 11 cm, we can say that this is a square.</u>

<u />Area\ of\ square=(Side)^{2}

                         =11\times11=121\ cm^{2}

Now, area of shaded region = Area of square - Area of circle

                                               = 121 - 78.571 = 42.429 cm^{2}

Therefore, the area of the shaded region will be 42.43  cm^{2}

(a) It is leaking 18 liters per minute.

Explanation : From 15 minutes to 20 minutes, your starting point at 15 is 590 liters and at 20 you have exactly 500. Next you have 25 which is now at 410. So it's leaking 90 liters every five minutes, so of course dividing the two (90 ÷ 5) you get 18.

(a)² it increases for about the same time that it would decrease of course.

(b) The vat started at 860 liters before they started draining it.

Explanation : Well, all it takes is just working backwards, add 90 liters to the liters at 15 minutes and deduct five minutes from 15. Do this process until you arrive at 0. It's simple

Which of the following statements is needed in order to prove these triangles are congruent by AAS?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

RQ\cong UT

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are congruent by AAS postulate if two adjacent corresponding angles are congruent and the next adjacent sides to any of the angles is are also congruent. The adjacent sides should not be in between the two congruent angles.

From the triangles RQS and UTV

\angle R\cong \angle U\\\angle S\cong \angle V

The adjacent side to \angle R is RQ and for \angle U is UT.

Similarly, the adjacent side to \angle S is QS and for \angle V is TV.

So, the possible sides that could be congruent by AAS postulate are:

RQ\cong UT or QS\cong TV

So, the correct option is RQ\cong UT
