X+24*(1/x)=11
x+24/x=11
x²+24=11x
x²-11x+24=0
(x+3)(x-8)=0
x=-3, x=8
checking : 8+24*(1/8)=11, 8+3=11 correct
-3+24*(1/-3)=-3-8=-11 incorrect
number is 8, reciprocal is 1/8

Jeannine needs to decide what size to make a rectangular

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Total number of possible combinations are 6

Length width

23 dm 2m

21 dm 4 dm

19 dm 6 dm

17 dm 8 dm

15 dm 10 dm

13 dm 12 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Perimeter of rectangular garden=50 dm

Width is even number.

Length is always longer than or equal to width.

Let length of rectangular garden=x

Width of rectangular garden=y

We have to find the possible number of combinations .

Perimeter of rectangular garden= $2(x+y)$

$2(x+y)=50$

$x+y=50/2$

$x+y=25$

If y=2 dm

x=25-2=23 dm

If y=4 dm

x=25-4=21 dm

If y=6 dm

x=25-6=19 dm

If y=8 dm

x=25-8=17 dm

If y=10 dm

x=25-10=15 dm

If y=12 dm

x=25-12=13 dm

If y=14 dm

x=25-14=11 dm

x<y

It is not possible

Then, possible combinations are 6

Length width

23 dm 2m

21 dm 4 dm

19 dm 6 dm

17 dm 8 dm

15 dm 10 dm

13 dm 12 dm

The volume of this cylinder is 1,909.92384 cubic millimeters. What is the radius? Use n=3.14 and round your answer to the neares

klemol [59]

Remember that the volume of a cylinder is

$\begin{gathered} V=\pi\cdot r^2\cdot h \\ \end{gathered}$

so we have that

$r=\sqrt[]{\frac{V}{\pi\cdot h}}=\sqrt[]{\frac{1909.92384}{3.14\cdot6.6}}=\sqrt[]{92.12}=9.6$

so the radius is 9.6 milimeters

Bisect the angle a b c

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

BR bisects the angle ABC, and is called the bisector of angle ABC.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Draw an arc with B as the centre to cut the arms, BA and BC, of the angle at P and Q respectively.

Step 2: Using the same radius, draw an arc centred at P.

Step 3: With centre Q and using the same radius, draw an arc to cut the arc in Step 2 at R.

Step 4: Join, B, the vertex of the angle to the point R.
