Answer: I am going tot give you an example for this because I don’t like giving straight up answers ok?

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use this conversion factor:

4 inches = 1 year

Let's find the year at 5 feet (60 inches) using the conversion factor. Set up a proportion.

4 / 60 = 1 / x

Cross multiply.

4x = 60

x = 15

At 15 years, the height is 60 inches.

We can use these as points.

x = time in years

y = height in inches

Point 1 = (1, 4)

Point 2 = (15, 60)

By looking at the points, we know that as the x values increase, so does the y values. Now the relation between the x and y values of each point is that y is 4 times as that of x. Therefore, we can establish an equation.

y = 4x

This will be the model to use to find the height in 30 years.

A circle has its center at the center of a square with 12-inch sides. Using 3.14 for pi, find the area of the square not covered
Dmitrij [34]
So first, find the area of the square. 12x12= 144inches^2
Then find the area of the circle. To do this we use pi x r^2. The radius of the circle is 6 inches. Pi x 6^2 = 113.04inches^2.
144 - 113.04 = 30.6, so your answer is 30.6 inches^2

The circles circumference is worked out by using pi x d. The diameter is 12 inches, so 3.14x12 = 37.68 inches.
The squares perimeter is 12 x 4 = 48 inches.
If you round up the circumference of the circle to the nearest integer, you get 38 inches. The ratio would therefore be, 38:48, which can be rounded down to 19:24 :)

How do I solve : COT pi/4 ...?
Wewaii [24]
Cot x = cos x / sin x
cot π/4 = cot 45° = cos 45° / sin 45°
We know that sin 45° and sin 45° have the same value:
cos 45° = sin 45° = √2 / 2;
cos 45° / sin 45° = √2/2 : √2/2 = 1
Answer:
cot π/4 = 1
