Answer:

258 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the image attached below.

We can see that the length of each side of L shape is 40 cm and in 2 plates fit in between.

We need to find the are which is not covered by the plates. Let us calculate the area of L shape first.

We can see that it is a square with  one fourth of its area missing. So the area of square with side length 40 cm is,

A_1= 40 \times 40 = 1600 cm^2, where 'A_1' is the area of square.

Now, one fourth of the area is not there in the L shape, so one-fourth of 1600cm^2 is,

\frac{1600}{4}= 400 cm^2

Therefore, the area of L shape drawer is,

1600-400=1200 cm^2

Now, we can see that the diameter of each circular plate is, 20 cm. So the radius of circular plate is 10 cm. Let A_2 be the area of each circular plate, so,

A_2= \pi (10)^2=100\pi cm^2

There are three plates so the total area is,

A_3= 3\times 100 \pi = 300 \pi cm^2

A_3= 300\times 3.14 = 942 cm^2

Hence, the area not covered by the plates is,

= 1200-942= 258 cm^2

So, the area not covered by three flat plates is 258 square centimeters.

The volume V of a prism with base area B and height h is V=Bh. Solve the formula for h. Then use both formulas to find the heigh
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Height is 5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>The prism is attached.</u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

The volume formula is:

V=Bh

Where

V is volume

B is area of base

h is height of prism

Now, solving for "h", gives us:

V=Bh\\h=\frac{V}{B}

Looking at the prism, it is given:

V = 175

B = 35

Substituting, we get the height:

h=\frac{V}{B}\\h=\frac{175}{35}\\h=5

The height is 5 ft

Solve each equation for θ, where 0° &lt; θ &lt; 90°. Answer correct to the nearest minute.
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

sin θ = 4 cos θ

Note that tan θ = sin θ / cos θ so we

Divide both sides by cosθ:

tan θ = 4

θ = 75.96

= 75 degrees 58 minutes.

A shop sells packs of black pens, packs of red pens and packs of green pens.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

85 pens  

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of green pens sold is shown below;

As the number of black pens, red pens, and green pans is 3:5:6

And, the ratio of sold of black pens, red pens, and green pans is 7:3:4

So, the ratio of pens in a number of pens is

= 3 × 7 : 5 × 3 : 4 × 6

= 21: 15 : 24

= 7: 5 : 8

And, the total of 212 pens are sold

So, the number of green pens sold is

= 8 × 212 ÷ (7 + 5 + 8)

= 85 pens
