To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

 - <span>The diameter of a basketball rim is 18 inches.
 - A standard basketball has a circumference of 30 inches. 

 2. Therefore, the diameter of the standard basketball is:

 D=30 inches/</span>π
 D=9.54 inches

 3. Therefore you have:

 (18 inches-9.54 inches)=8.45 inches on both sides

 4. Then, the distance <span>the distance between the ball and the rim in a shot in which the ball goes exactly in the center of the rim, is:
</span>
 d=8.45 inches/2
 d=4.22 inches

 The answer is: 4.22 inches

We know that
circumference=2*pi*r-------> r=circumference/(2*pi)
circumference=30 in
r=circumference/(2*pi)------> 30/(2*pi)-----> 4.7746 in
the radius of a <span>standard basketball is 4.77 in
</span>
<span>the distance between the ball and the rim is equal to
</span>radius of a basketball rim minus radius of a a standard basketball  
radius of a basketball rim =18/2------> 9 in
radius of a a standard basketball=4.77 in<span>

</span>
the distance between the ball and the rim=[9-4.77]------> 4.23 in

the answer is
4.23 in

Which equation is equivalent to log^x36=2?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

The equation which is equivalent to \log _{x} 36=2 is x^{2}=36 or x = 6 (\log _{6} 36=2).

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given Equation:

           \log _{x} 36=2

As we know, in terms of logarithmic rules, when b is raised to the power of y is equal x:

           b^{y}=a

Then, the base b logarithm of x is equal to y

           \log _{b}(x)=y

Now, use the logarithmic rule for the given equation by comparing with above equation. We get b = x, y = 2, and x = 36. Apply this in equation,

            b^{y}=a

            x^{2}=36

When taking out the squares on both sides, we get x = 6. Hence, the given equation can be written as \log _{6} 36=2

Find all cube roots of -1000i
NemiM [27]

Answer:

10i

Step-by-step explanation:

Since i^2 = -1, and 1000 = 10^3, we can instinctively guess that the answer is 10i. We can validate this by cubing it, yielding 1000i^3, or -1000i.
