We know that there are 16 pieces left and that the ratio is 3 : 5. The ratio teels us there are 8 "parts" inside (because 3 + 5 = 8), so now we may just divide 16 by 8 to find out how much is one such "part":

16 ÷ 8 = 2

Now we can see that one "part" of the ratio is for 2 pieces. So if the ratio of black to red pieces is 3 : 5, then there are 3 * 2 = 6 red pieces and <u>5 * 2 = 10 black bieces</u>.

madam [21]

Answer:

f(- 3) = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(- 3) substitute x = - 3 into f(x) , that is

f(- 3) = - (- 3)² + 6 = - 9 + 6 = - 3

In triangle ABC, AB = 11 cm, BC = 9 cm and CA = 10 cm.<br> Find the area of triangle ABC.

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Area = 42.43 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Heron's Formula :

$Area = \sqrt{s\times (s-a) \times (s-b) \times(s -c)} \ , \ where \ s \ =\ \frac{a+ b+ c}{2}$

<em><u>Find Area :</u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

$s = \frac{11 + 9 + 10 }{2} = \frac{30}{2} = 15$

$Area = \sqrt{15 \times ( 15 - 11 ) \times { (15 - 9 ) \times ( 15 -10)}\\\\$

$= \sqrt{15 \times 4 \times 6 \times 5}\\\\=\sqrt{1800}$

$= 42 . 43 \ cm^2$

If a line goes through the point (8,9) and has a slope of negative 3/4 what is the starting value?

scZoUnD [109]

I assume by starting value, you mean y-intercept. The y-intercept is 15

To find this, we need to use slope intercept form and the given information to find it.

y = mx + b ----> plug in the known values

9 = -3/4(8) + b

9 = -6 + b

15 = b

Therefore, the starting value is 15.
