Answer:

a = 5.81 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where b= 1.5 and c= 6

a^2 +1.5^2 = 6^2

a^2 +2.25 = 36

Subtract 2.25 from each side

a^2 +2.25-2.25 = 36-2.25

a^2 = 33.75

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(33.75)

a = 5.809475019

We only take the positive root because length must be positive

Is 11/2 and 6/11 equivalent? Plz I need the help☹️
trapecia [35]

For this case we have the following fractions:

\frac {11} {2}\\\frac {6} {11}

We must rewrite the fractions, using the same denominator.

We have then:

We multiply the first fraction by 11 in the numerator and denominator:

\frac {11} {2} \frac {11} {11}

We multiply the second fraction by 2 in the numerator and denominator:

\frac {6} {11} \frac {2} {2}

Rewriting we have:

For the first fraction:

\frac {121} {22}

For the second fraction:

\frac {12} {22}

We note that:

\frac {121} {22}> \frac {12} {22}

Answer:

The fractions are not equivalent:

\frac {11} {2}> \frac {6} {11}

What is the radian measure of the smallest angle formed by the hands of a clock at 7 o'clock?
netineya [11]
See the picture attached to better understand the problem
we know that
a full circle is a 360 degrees
divided in 12 equals parts-------> 360/12-------> 30 degrees each part

<span>the smallest angle formed by the hands of a clock at 7 o'clock has 5 parts
so
5*30</span>°------> 150°

convert to radian
pi radians---------> 180°
 x ---------------> 150°
x=150*pi/180--------> x=0.83*pi radians

the answer is
0.83*pi radians  or 2.62 radians

How do I solve this 9x-(x-24)=2x-(-5+x)
Viefleur [7K]
Combine like terms
8x+24=x+5
subtract x from both sides

8x+24=x+5
-x -x
7x+24=5
subtract 24 from both sides
7x+24=5
-24 -24
7x = -19
divide 7 from both sides
7x = -19
7x/7 = -19/7

x= -19/7
