Find a whole number x in x/113 so that the ratio is a good estimate for pi

Mathematics

NISA [10]2 years ago

So the initial question is x / 113 = 3.14 (we're keeping it a smaller decimal for now)

What you should do first is multiply both sides by 113

Your answer should be x = 354.82

Round this up to x = 355. <-- This is why we only used 3.14 at the start

Now check your work:
x / 113 = ?
355 / 113 = 3.14159265358979... which essentially is pi

Exactly 1 1/3 yard of ribbon is needed to make a bow. Which of the following lengths of ribbon could be used to make a bow with

svp [43]

Answer:

1 and 2/5 yards wastes only 1/15 a yard

Step-by-step explanation:

1 and 1/6 yards would make a waste of 1 and 1/6 yards since you can't make a ribbon out of it. (incorrect)

1 and 2/10 yards would make a waste of 1 and 1/5 yards since you can't make a ribbon out of it. (incorrect)

1 and 2/5 yards

$1\frac{2}{5} -1\frac{1}{3} =\\\\1\frac{6}{15} -1\frac{5}{15} =\\\\\frac{1}{15}$

Wastes 1/15 a yard.

1 and 1/2 yards

$1\frac{1}{2} -1\frac{1}{3} =\\\\1\frac{3}{6} -1\frac{2}{6} =\\\\\frac{1}{6}$

It wastes 1/6 a yard.

2 yards

$2-1\frac{1}{3} =\frac{2}{3}$

It wastes 4/6 a yard.

determine whether the lines intersect and if so find the point of intersection and the cosine of the angle of intersection x=4t+

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

As the lines are not intersecting nor parallel, they must be skew.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question is incomplete, we consider the nearest match available online.

Parametric equations of two lines are:

L₁ : x=4t+2 , y = 3 , z =-t+1

L₂: x=2s+2 , y= 2s+5 , z = s+1

If lines are parallel then parametric coordinates must be equal scalar multiple of each other which s not true here.

$4t+2=2s+2 ---(1)\\ \\3=2s+5---(2) \\\\-t+1=s+1---(3)$

If lines are intersecting then parametric coordinates must be equal for some value of t and s.

$From (3)\\-t=s\\From (2)\\\\s=\frac{3-5}{2}\\\\s=-1\\\implies t=1\\\\To\,\,check\,\, the \,\,values \,\,of \,\,s\,\, and \,\,t \,\,for\,\,intersection\,\,put \,\,them\,\, in\,\, (1)\\\\4(1)+2= 2(-1)+2\\ 6\ne0$

Hence the lines are not intersecting nor parallel, they must be skew.
