One pound of horsehair is divided into "pulls" to make horsehair belts. One "pull" weights about 0.011 ounces. How many "pulls"

could be made from 6 pounds of horsehair?

1 pound = 16 ounces

If you have 6 pounds of horsehair,
16 ounces × 6 pounds = 96 ounces

One pull weights about 0.011 ounces, in order to find how many pulls you can make with 96 ounces of horsehair, you divide 96 ÷ 0.011 .
96 ÷ 0.011 = 8727 (rounded to whole number)

8727 pulls could be made from 6 pounds of horsehair.

Find parametric equations for the path of a particle that moves along the circle x2 + (y − 1)2 = 16 in the manner described. (En

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) $x = 4\cdot \cos t$ , $y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t$ , b) $x = 4\cdot \cos t$ , $y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t$ , c) $x = 4\cdot \cos \left(t+\frac{\pi}{2} \right)$ , $y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin \left(t + \frac{\pi}{2} \right)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the circle is:

$x^{2} + (y-1)^{2} = 16$

After some algebraic and trigonometric handling:

$\frac{x^{2}}{16} + \frac{(y-1)^{2}}{16} = 1$

$\frac{x^{2}}{16} + \frac{(y-1)^{2}}{16} = \cos^{2} t + \sin^{2} t$

Where:

$\frac{x}{4} = \cos t$

$\frac{y-1}{4} = \sin t$

Finally,

$x = 4\cdot \cos t$

$y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t$

a) $x = 4\cdot \cos t$ , $y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t$ .

b) $x = 4\cdot \cos t$ , $y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t$ .

c) $x = 4\cdot \cos t''$ , $y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t''$

Where:

$4\cdot \cos t' = 0$

$1 + 4\cdot \sin t' = 5$

The solution is $t' = \frac{\pi}{2}$

The parametric equations are:

$x = 4\cdot \cos \left(t+\frac{\pi}{2} \right)$

$y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin \left(t + \frac{\pi}{2} \right)$

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

195

Step-by-step explanation:

4 drinks = 1.5 * 4 = 6.

3 sandwiches = 2 * 3 = 6

2 treats = 1 * 2 = 2

$6+$6+$2+$25 = 39

Multiply by 5 for each kid

39*5=195

What is the area of triangle PQR? Round to the nearest tenth of a square unit.

larisa86 [58]

ANSWER

111.3 square units.

EXPLANATION

The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is.

$Area = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height$
Let us the side of the triangle with side 12 units to be the base of the triangle.

Then the height of the triangle can be determined from the diagram using trigonometry.

$\sin(68 \degree) = \frac{height}{20 }$

$height = 20 \sin(68 \degree)$

$height = 18.54$

We now plug in the values in to the formula to obtain,

$Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 18.54$

$Area = 111.3 \: square \: units$
