A stream begins at an elevation of 200 meters and flows a distance of 400 kilometers to the ocean? what is the average gradient?

Change in y = -200 meters
change in x = 400,000 meters

slope = change in y / change in x = -200/400,000 = -1/2,000 meters

Answer:

The average gradient is $0.5 \frac{m}{Km}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two important data to solve this problem:

1- Stream begins at an elevation (y) of 200 m

2- Stream flows a distance of (x) 400 km.

We need to calculate the average gradient. Gradient definition is the drop in elevation of a stream divided by the distance the water travel.

So, gradient (g) will be elevation (y) divided by distance (x).

$g = \frac{y}{x}=\frac{200m}{400Km} =\frac{2m}{4Km}$

$g = 0.5 \frac{m}{Km}$

Finally, the average gradient is $0.5 \frac{m}{Km}$ .

Hello! For this you are just going to do this step by step, and remember to use PEMDAS. That is the order in which you should do the math. The abbreviation stands for Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction. So lets get started!
((15y0x−3z23x3)(y7)z12)2=254x6y14z6x6=254y14z6

Hope this helps!! If you need any more help or further explanation just let me know!! :)

Whats is the answer to this question below?

Hey there. So first we need to know what the point slope form looks like.

It is Y-Y1=M (X-X1)

Knowing this you just plug in the given information.

M is equal to 1/6. So in this case all of the options have the correct m. Next we look at the Year value. We know Y is a positive 4. So the beginning of the equation is going to look like

Y+4=1/6 ( X-X1).

Nown plug in x. It would be a negative 5. Now your final answer would be option A. Hope the explanation helped.. :)

1. A Babylonian tablet found in 1936 shows that the Babylonians sometimes used a more accurate value of π than 3. They determine

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle is given as πr² and its circumference is expressed as 2πr.

If the babylonians determined the area of a circle by taking it as equal to the square of the circle’s circumference then;

Area of circle = (circumference of a circle)²

πr² = (2πr)²

πr² = 4π²r²

Dividing both sides of the equation by πr² we have;

$\frac{\pi r^{2} }{\pi r^{2} } =\frac{4\pi^{2} r^{2} }{\pi r^{2} }\\1 = 4\pi \\\pi =\frac{1}{4}$

The value of π this yields is 1/4
