Considering that you are planning the trip with limited budget and only for 4 days (=96h) you must value both time and money when doing it.

If you use the bus you spend $75 + $75=$150 and 12h + 12h = 24h. This means you spend $150 to enjoy 96h - 24h = 72h of actually camping. This means you pay $150/72h = $2,08 per hour of actual camping.

On the other hand if you choose the plane you spend $150 + $ 150 = $300 and 1,5h + 1,5h = 3h. This means you spend $300 to enjoy 96h - 3h = 93h. This means you pay $300/93h = $3,22 per hour of actual camping.

Considering all that, taking the bus his the most cost-effective option (and the cheaper one also).

Find the area of the shaded regions. Give your answer as a completely simplified exact value in terms of π (no approximations).
Alla [95]

Area of shaded region is 18π square unit.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given :- A circle with center O and radius 9 cm

To Find :- area of shaded region that is area of ABC

Solution : - BC = 9 cm

∠ABC = 80° = Ф

so, area of sector = πr²Ф / 360°

= (π×9×9×80) /360°

= 18π square unit

hence, area of shaded region is 18π square unit

Pls help<br>Solve 2/3x- 1/5&gt;1<br> ​
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

x > 9/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write inequality

2/3x - 1/5 > 1

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Add 1/5 to both sides: 2/3x > 6/5
  2. Divide both sides by 2/3: x > 9/5

Here we see that any <em>x</em> value greater than 9/5 will work.
