This is a rather simple question. 4 x 5.5 = 22 miles, therefore Ray can drive 22 miles on one gallon of gas.

Hope it helps!

On average you get like about 12 to 14 miles a gallon

Prove that under root 2 is a irrational number

torisob [31]

Answer:

Let's suppose √2 is a rational number. Then we can write it √2 = a/b where a, b are whole numbers, b not zero.

We additionally assume that this a/b is simplified to lowest terms, since that can obviously be done with any fraction. Notice that in order for a/b to be in simplest terms, both of a and b cannot be even. One or both must be odd. Otherwise, we could simplify a/b further.

From the equality √2 = a/b it follows that 2 = a2/b2, or a2 = 2 · b2. So the square of a is an even number since it is two times something.

From this we know that a itself is also an even number. Why? Because it can't be odd; if a itself was odd, then a · a would be odd too. Odd number times odd number is always odd. Check it if you don't believe me!

Okay, if a itself is an even number, then a is 2 times some other whole number. In symbols, a = 2k where k is this other number. We don't need to know what k is; it won't matter. Soon comes the contradiction.

If we substitute a = 2k into the original equation 2 = a2/b2, this is what we get:

2=(2k)2/b22=4k2/b22*b2=4k2b2=2k2

This means that b2 is even, from which follows again that b itself is even. And that is a contradiction!!!

WHY is that a contradiction? Because we started the whole process assuming that a/b was simplified to lowest terms, and now it turns out that a and b both would be even. We ended at a contradiction; thus our original assumption (that √2 is rational) is not correct. Therefore √2 cannot be rational.

(I copied this from the internet, but hope it helps!)

If we inscribe a circle such that it is touching all six corners of a regular hexagon of side 10 inches, what is the area of the

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

$\left(100\pi - 150\sqrt{3}\right)$ square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Area of the Inscribed Hexagon</h3>

Refer to the first diagram attached. This inscribed regular hexagon can be split into six equilateral triangles. The length of each side of these triangle will be $10$ inches (same as the length of each side of the regular hexagon.)

Refer to the second attachment for one of these equilateral triangles.

Let segment $\sf CH$ be a height on side $\sf AB$ . Since this triangle is equilateral, the size of each internal angle will be $\sf 60^\circ$ . The length of segment

$\displaystyle 10\, \sin\left(60^\circ\right) = 10 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 5\sqrt{3}$ .

The area (in square inches) of this equilateral triangle will be:

$\begin{aligned}&\frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times\text{Height} \\ &= \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 5\sqrt{3}= 25\sqrt{3} \end{aligned}$ .

Note that the inscribed hexagon in this question is made up of six equilateral triangles like this one. Therefore, the area (in square inches) of this hexagon will be:

$\displaystyle 6 \times 25\sqrt{3} = 150\sqrt{3}$ .

<h3>Area of of the circle that is not covered</h3>

Refer to the first diagram. The length of each side of these equilateral triangles is the same as the radius of the circle. Since the length of one such side is $10$ inches, the radius of this circle will also be $10$ inches.

The area (in square inches) of a circle of radius $10$ inches is:

$\pi \times (\text{radius})^2 = \pi \times 10^2 = 100\pi$ .

The area (in square inches) of the circle that the hexagon did not cover would be:

$\begin{aligned}&\text{Area of circle} - \text{Area of hexagon} \\ &= 100\pi - 150\sqrt{3}\end{aligned}$ .

Sasha order 3/5 of a pound of cheese .Each slice of cheese weighs 0.15 pounds. Enter the number of slices of cheese that Sasha w

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

4. slices

Step-by-step explanation:

because If you turn 3/5 in to a decimal you get 0.6 and each slice of cheese weighs 0.15 so you do 0.6 divided by 0.15

Lucy rented a movie. She started the movie at 9:48 a.m. and it was 3 hours 39 minutes long. When did the movie end

iren2701 [21]

Think through this one...

9:48 + 9 minutes = 9:57

9:57 + 30 minutes = 10:27

10:27 + 3 hours = 1:27 p.m.
