The answer is 5 since there are no numbers in front you just subtract 3 from both sides leaving you with -w=-5 and a negative divided by a negative is a positive

Absolute value represents distance. Distances can't be negative.

So it's impossible to have |3-w| be some negative value.

Which is why $|3-w| = -2$ has no solutions

Write the equation of the circle centered at (3, 5) and tangent to x = -1. I need help pleasse

Annette [7]

Answer:

(x - 3)² + (y - 5)² = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the centre and r the radius

given (h, k ) = (3, 5 ) we require to find r

r is the distance from the centre to a point on the circle

given x = - 1 is a tangent the r is the distance between the x- coordinates

r = | 3 - (- 1) | = | 3 + 1 | = | 4 | = 4

then equation of circle is

(x - 3)² + (y - 5)² = 4² , that is

(x - 3)² + (y - 5)² = 16

Badal has 120 cm 3 of water. He wants to pour it into a rectangular vase that is 4 cm high, 4 cm wide, and 5 cm long. Can he pou

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

volume= 4×4×5

Therefore he can't pour all the water into the vase because the amount of water is 120cm³ whilst the vase is 80. An amount of water as that can't fill the vase

The area and the perimeter of the picture are:

Area = 160 cm^2
Perimeter = 67.31 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of that figure, you can find the area how if it was a rectangle and next subtract the area of the triangle in the upper part. The area of a rectangle could be found by the next formula:

Area of a rectangle = base * height

As you can see in the picture, the base is 16 cm and the height is 12 cm, then we replace in the formula:

Area of a rectangle = 16 cm * 12 cm
Area of a rectangle = 192 cm^2

Now, we calculate the area of the triangle to subtract to the area we found and obtain the real area, the formula to obtain the area of a triangle is:

Area of a triangle = (base * height) / 2

The height of the triangle is 8 cm, and the base is 8 cm too, because you subtract to the base of the rectangle (16 cm) the measurements in the upper part (16 - 4 - 4 = 8), Now, we replace in the formula:

Area of a triangle = (8 cm * 8 cm) / 2
Area of a triangle = (64 cm^2) / 2
Area of a triangle = 32 cm^2

We subtract to the found area:

Area of the picture = 192 cm^2 - 32 cm^2
Area of the picture = 160 cm^2

To find the perimeter, you must add all the sides of the picture, but, as you can see, there is a side that doesn't have the measurent, this is the hypotenuse of the triangle used before, but how we know the other sides, we can use Pythagorean theorem:
