The pot can hold 1/3 more "of the way." Then 1/3 of 5 1/2 quarts is:

(1/3)(11/2) = 11/6 quarts. The pot can hold 11/6 quarts total.

Answer:

Water required to fill pot $=\frac{11}{6}\texttt{ quarts}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Capacity of pot = $5\frac{1}{2} = \frac{11}{2}$ quart

Fraction of pot filled with water = $\frac{2}{3}$

Fraction of pot empty = $\frac{1}{3}$

How many more quarts of water can the pot hold is given below

Amount of quarts $=\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{11}{2}=\frac{11}{6}\texttt{ quarts}$

Water required to fill pot $=\frac{11}{6}\texttt{ quarts}$

The endpoints of a diameter of a circle are A(2,1) and B(5,5). Find the area of the circle in terms of pi.

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The area of the circle is $A=6.25\pi\ units^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the diameter of circle

we know that

The diameter of the circle is equal to the distance AB

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

substitute the values

$AB=\sqrt{(5-1)^{2}+(5-2)^{2}}$

$AB=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$AB=\sqrt{25}$

$AB=5\ units$

therefore

the diameter of the circle is

$D=5\ units$

step 2

Find the area of the circle

The area of the circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

$r=5/2=2.5\ units$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

$A=\pi (2.5)^{2}$

$A=6.25\pi\ units^{2}$

$600 7) Nika puts 42 beads in each necklace. Which is the best way to use rounding numbers to estimate the number of beads Nika

kkurt [141]

Answer:

20 X 40 = 800 (split into 2 fourths) = 40

Step-by-step explanation

20 x 40 = 800;

For 2 necklaces she can split 800 into fourths.

800 - 40 = 80. (1 fourth)

80 - 40 = 40 (2 fourths)

40 - 40 = 0 (3 fourths)

She could split 800 into 2 fourths to get a number more than 0 and less then 42.

The best estimate of rounding 42 is 40. Because 40 is closer to 42.

Find sec x if sin x = -7/25 and cot x = -24/7.<br> Show work.

vredina [299]

Answer:

25/24

Step-by-step explanation:

sin x = O/H = -7/25

cot x = A/O = -24/7

sec x = H/A

if sin x = -7/25, the opposite side is 7, and the hypotenuse is 25

if cot x = -24/y, the adjacent side is 24 (and the opposite side is still 7)

since H = 25 and A = 24, sec x = 25/24

Also, you know it's positive because when sin x is negative, the angle is in quadrants 3 or 4, and when cot x is negative, the angle is in quandrants 2 or 4, so the only quadrant that satisfies both is 4. In quadrant 4, sec x is positive.
