<h3>Answer: The month of April</h3>

More accurately: The correct time will be shown on April 4th if it is a leapyear, or April 5th if it is a non-leapyear. It takes 60 days for the clock to realign, which is the same as saying "the clock loses 24 hours every 60 days".

===================================================

Explanation:

The following statements shown below are all equivalent to one another.

  • Clock loses 1 second every 1 minute (original statement)
  • Clock loses 60 seconds every 60 minutes (multiply both parts of previous statement by 60)
  • Clock loses 1 minute every 1 hour (time conversion)
  • Clock loses 60 minutes every 60 hours (multiply both parts of previous statement by 60)
  • Clock loses 1 hour every 2.5 days (time conversion)
  • Clock loses 24 hours every 60 days (multiply both parts of previous statement by 24)

Use a Day-Of-Year calendar to quickly jump ahead 60 days into the future from Feb 4th (note how Feb 4th is day 35; add 60 to this to get to the proper date in the future). On a leapyear (such as this year 2020), you should land on April 4th. On a non-leapyear, you should land on April 5th. The extra day is because we lost Feb 29th.

The actual day in April does not matter as all we care about is the month itself only. Though it's still handy to know the most accurate length of time in which the clock realigns itself.

Reptile [31]

Option D is correct.

Figures are missing in the question.

The images below shows the missing figures of question.

<h3>Solution:</h3>

For congruent figures, we need the same shape, same area, and inverse direction.

Congruent figures have congruency. That seems simple enough, but congruent figures need not be turned the same way or face the same direction to be congruent.

In the case of geometric figures, line segments with the same length are congruent and angle with the same measure are congruent.

In elementary geometry the word congruent is often used as follows. The word equal is often used in place of congruent for these objects.

In this sense, two plane figures are congruent implies that their corresponding characteristics are "congruent" or "equal" including not just their corresponding sides and angles, but also their corresponding diagonals, perimeters, and areas.

The figure in option D satisfies all these conditions. Hence, Option D is correct.

1200 people pass by the road in one day. How many people passed by the road in an hour?
Zinaida [17]
Hello!

First you have to find out how many hours are in a day

There are 24 hours in a day

Since 1200 people pass a day to find the hourly rate you do

1200 / 24

This gives us the answer of 50

Hope this helps!

5-2 square root x =11
timama [110]

Answer:

no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

5 -2 sqrt(x) = 11

Subtract 5 from each side

5- 5 -2 sqrt(x) = 11-5

-2 sqrt (x) = 6

Divide each side by -2

-2/-2 sqrt(x) = 6/-2

sqrt(x) = -3

The sqrt(x) must be 0 or positive
