There are $400$ pages in Sheila's favorite book. The average number of words per page in the book is $300$. If she types at an a
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

50hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 400 pages in Sheila's favorite book.

The average number of words per page in the book is 300

She types an average rate of 40words per minute.

So to type 400pages of the book

Total number of words in the pages = 400×300 = 120000 words

Typing rate : 40words ------- 1minute

120000 words ----------- x minutes

Hence we have 40 × X mins = 120000 × 1min

Make X the subject

40X = 120000minutes

X = 120000/40

X = 3000minutes

Since 60minutes = 1hour

3000minutes = 3000minutes/60

= 50hours

Hence it took her 50hours to type 400pages

6. A square is inscribed in a circle. The sic
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

9.13 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of the square = the diameter of the circle.

The length of the diagonal = 4√2 cm (because we have a 45-45-90 triangle), so the radius of the circle is half of this = 2√2 cm.

The area of the shaded part = area of the circle - area of the square

= π (2√2)^2 - 4^2

=  25.13 - 16

= 9.13 cm^2.
