Change in April's weight is -7

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the initial weight be "x"

April lost 5 pounds in her first week of college

First week = lost 5 pounds

Therefore, x - 5

Over the next three weeks she lost 3 pounds, gained 2 pounds, and then lost 1 pound

<em><u>Next three week:</u></em>

Lost 3 pound

Gained 2 pound

Lost 1 pound

<em><u>Therefore, weight after 4 weeks is given as:</u></em>

x - 5 - 3 + 2 - 1 = x -7

After 4 week, the weight is x - 7

<em><u>The change in April weight is given as:</u></em>

Weight after 4 week - initial weight = x - 7 - x = -7

Thus change in April's weight is -7 (Negative sign represents loss in weight )

What is the measure of angle 4??? please help asap!!!
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
<h3>Answer: 80 degrees</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Angle 3 and the 100 degree angle are corresponding angles. They are both in the southeast quadrant of their four-corner angle configuration. Assuming the lines that look horizontal are parallel, this would mean angle 3 is 100 degrees. Recall that corresponding angles are congruent when we have parallel lines.

Once we know that angle 3 = 100, we will use this to find angle 4.

Angles 3 and 4 add to 180. They form a straight angle or straight line.

(angle3)+(angle4) = 180

(100) + (angle4) = 180

angle4 = 180-100

angle4 = 80 degrees

If you doubled the radius of a sphere, how would the volume change? A. The volume would double. B. The volume would triple. C. T
Ronch [10]
The volume of a sphere, V = (4/3)(PI)(R^3) Let k = (4/3)(PI) Therefore, V = k (R^3) Let R’ = new radius = 2R V’ =k (R’^3) = k (2R)^3 = 8 k R^3 = 8 V The volume would be eight time the original volume.
