Answer: Peters average speed in m/min is 294.1176 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Peter participated in a 5000m race and finished the race in 17 min.

Speed is calculated as Distance/Time

Peters average speed in m/min = Distance covered in m / Time taken in minutes

= 5000/17

= 294.1176 m/min

Therefore, Peters average speed in m/min = 294.1176 m/min

Hope it helps.

Thank you :)

Answer:

$294.12 m/min$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Peter participated in a 5k race.

Time =17 min.

5 k race represent length=5000 m

We have to find the peters average speed in m/min.

We know that

Average speed= $\frac{Distance}{time}$

Using the formula

Average speed of Peter= $\frac{5000}{17}=294.12 m/min$

Hence, the average speed of Peter= $294.12 m/min$

To find the circumference of a semi-circle, it would be 1/2<span> π × d. So, pi (3.14) times the diameter, 5 would be 15.7, but then we would need to multiply it by 1/2 to get the circumference for half the circle, and that will get you 7.85. Now you can add all the lengths now. 7.85 + 7 + 5 + 7 = 26.85. Hope this helps! Let me know if you still don't get it. <3</span>

1.This circle is centered at the origin and contains the points two units away. Write the equation for this circle.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

1. The location of the center of the given circle = The origin (0, 0)

The given points on the circumference of the circle = (1, √3), and (0, -2)

The general form of the equation of a circle, is presented as follows

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Where;

(h, k) = The coordinates of the center of the circle

r = The radius of the circle

∴ (h, k) = (0, 0)

The radius of the given equation is the distance from the center (0, 0) to either the point (0, -2) or (1, √3)

The distance from the center (0, 0) to the point (0, -2), which are points on the same ordinate, r = y₂ - y₁

∴ r = 0 - (-2) = 2

r = 2

The equation of the circle is therefore;

(x - 0)² + (y - 0)² = 2²

∴ x² + y² = 2²

2. When x = 1, and y = √3, we have;

(1 - 0)² + (√3 - 0)² = 1 + 3 = 4 = 2²

When x = 0, and y = -2, we have;

(0 - 0)² + ((-2) - 0)² = (-2)² = 4 = 2²

Therefore, the points shown on the circle (1, √3), and (0, -2) satisfy the equation of the circle, x² + y² = 2² and are solutions to the equation of the circle

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

He multiplied the four and the three first when he multiplied the equation together. However, according to the order of the operations, he was supposed to square three first. 3^2 = 9. Then multiplied 9*4 = 36.

A triangle has base 2x+1 and height 6x-3. What value of x would give an area of 240m2?

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The values of x which would give an area of 240m² would be:

$x=-\frac{\sqrt{161}}{2},\:x=\frac{\sqrt{161}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The base of triangle b = 2x+1

The height of triangle h = 6x-3

The Area of the triangle A = 240 m²

The Area of the triangle has the formula

A = 1/2 × b × h

substituting b = 2x+1, h = 6x-3 and A = 240

$240\:=\:\frac{1}{2}\:\left(2x+1\right)\:\times \left(6x-3\right)$

$480=\left(2x+1\right)\left(6x-3\right)$

$480=12x^2-3$

Subtract 480 from both sides

$12x^2-3-480=480-480$

$12x^2-483=0$

$3\left(4x^2-161\right)=0$

$3\left(2x+\sqrt{161}\right)\left(2x-\sqrt{161}\right)=0$

Using the zero factor principle

if ab=0, then a=0 or b=0 (or both a=0 and b=0)

$2x+\sqrt{161}=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:2x-\sqrt{161}=0$

solving

$2x+\sqrt{161}=0$

$2x=-\sqrt{161}$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-\sqrt{161}}{2}$

$x=-\frac{\sqrt{161}}{2}$

also solving

$2x-\sqrt{161}=0$

$2x=\sqrt{161}$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{161}}{2}$

$x=\frac{\sqrt{161}}{2}$

Therefore, the values of x which would give an area of 240m² would be:

$x=-\frac{\sqrt{161}}{2},\:x=\frac{\sqrt{161}}{2}$
