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.

50 Points What is the value of r? 6.4r−5.9r=−3.25 Question 1 options: A -6.5 B 6.5 C -3
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Option A. -6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

6.4r-5.9r=-3.25

Solve for r

That means ---> isolate the variable r

Combine like terns left side of the equation

0.5r=-3.25

Divide by 0.5 both sides

0.5r/0.5=-3.25/0.5

r=-6.5
