Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

60 minutes is one hour, which is all the way around the outside of the clock one time. This distance is represented by the circumference of a circle, assuming that the clock is in fact circular. The formula for the circumference of a circle in terms of the radius is

$C=2\pi r$

Our radius is 7, so the distance around the outside of that particular clock (and how far the minute hand travels if it goes around the clock one time) is

$C=2\pi (7)$ or

C = 14π

If you want the decimal equivalency for that, multiply in pi as 3.1415 and round to whatever place you need. In decimal form, that is

C = 43.9 inches

Which dimensions can create more than one triangle?

garri49 [273]

Answer:

three sides measuring 4 ft, 8 ft, and 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To choose which dimensions that can create more than one triangle, we consider the given values carefully and how possible it will be to construct.

The only dimensions given in the option that will be possible to create more than one triangle from it, is three sides measuring 4 ft, 8 ft, and 10 ft.

4 ft, 8 ft, and 10 ft are in simple multiple of 2

4 ft, 8 ft, and 10 ft = 2 (2 ft, 4 ft, and 5 ft ), with this we can construct two triangles with three sides measuring 2 ft, 4 ft, and 5 ft.

The following data points represent the number of attendees at each of the dance events hosted by Cloy

Viktor [21]

Put the numbers in order.
1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, 27.
Step 2: Find the median.
1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, 27.
Step 3: Place parentheses around the numbers above and below the median.
Not necessary statistically, but it makes Q1 and Q3 easier to spot.
(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9, (12, 15, 18, 19, 27).
Step 4: Find Q1 and Q3
Think of Q1 as a median in the lower half of the data and think of Q3 as a median for the upper half of data.
(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9, ( 12, 15, 18, 19, 27). Q1 = 5 and Q3 = 18.
Step 5: Subtract Q1 from Q3 to find the interquartile range.
18 – 5 = 13.

The function f is linear. If f(2) = 2 and f(-6)=6 find f(6)

lina2011 [118]

$The\ slope-intercept\ form:y=mx+b\\\\f(2)=2\to for\ x=2\to y=2\\f(-6)=6\to for x=-6\to y=6\\\\put\ in\ equation\ of\ the\ line:\\\\ -\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2=2m+b\\6=-6m+b\end{array}\right\ \ \ |subtract\ sides\ of\ the\ equations\\----------\\.\ \ \ -4=8m\ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 8\\.\ \ \ \ \boxed{m=-\frac{1}{2}}\\\\put\ m=-\frac{1}{2}\ to\ equation\ 2=2m+b:\\\\2=2\cdot(-\frac{1}{2})+b\\2=-1+b\ \ \ \ |add\ 1\ to\ both\ sides\\\boxed{b=3}\\\\\boxed{\boxed{y=-\frac{1}{2}x+3}}$

$therefore:f(x)=-\frac{1}{2}x+3\Rightarrow f(6)=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot6+3=-3+3=0\\\\Answer:\boxed{f(6)=0}$
