It may help to draw a picture as you start planning this problem and draw a circle, showing a circle which represents the scale needle's range of motion 360 degrees around. The needle length will then be the radius of that circle.

We know that the needle rotated 68 degrees and are trying to find the distance it traveled in cm. To find out how far the needle traveled, we need to find the arc length - in this case, the distance between the needle's starting point and where it ended up after the oranges were placed on the scale on the circle.

There is a formula you can easily use to find the arc length
arc length = 2*\pi*r ( \frac{c}{360} )

We need to input the radius, r into this formula, as well as the central angle measure c, which in this case is 68 degrees.

2\pi(16) ( \frac{68}{360} )

If you multiply the above formula components all together using a calculator, you will get ~18.99. (When rounded to the second decimal place.)

So, the answer is around 19 cm. (Your answer may vary depending on how your teacher usually wants you to round answers.)

What’s the answer to this
Setler [38]

Answer:

The answere is (9,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

first equation

x - 2y = 3

9 - 2(3) = 3

9-6 = 3

3 = 3

second equations

2x - 3y = 9

2(9) - 3(3) = 9

18 - 9 =9

9 = 9

or

x - 2y = 3

x = 2y + 3

2(2y + 3 ) - 3y = 9

4y +6 - 3y = 9

y + 6 = 9

y =3

x - 2(3) = 3

x - 6 =3

x = 9

so (9,3)

i hope this helpful

Answer:

The first error in the bill is +8

because when two opposite signs of number are multiplied so the result is always negative.

so,

2 × -4 = -8

instead of 8 their should be -8.

hope this answer helps you dear...take care!
