The right answer is:

<em>area B = area C</em>

We can solve this problem by using Kepler's laws of planetary motion. There are three Kepler's laws. In this exercise, we need to use the second law. According to this law,<em> a line segment joining a planet and the sun sweeps out equals areas during equals intervals of time. </em>So, a certain planet sweeps out an <em>area B </em>from the point <em>P3 </em>to <em>P4</em> in an interval of time <em>t. </em>On the other hand, for the same interval of time <em>t, </em>the planet sweeps out an <em>area C </em>from point <em>P4</em> to <em>P5, </em>that is equal to the previous area according to second kepler's law.

The price for 11 ballpoint pens is $11.77. Which of the following represents the same price per pen? A. 4 pens for $4.44 B. 5 pe
Harrizon [31]
First we need to know how much each pen costs.  So we take 11.77 and divide it by 11.  That gives us 1.07 per pen.  So answer choice A has 4 pens for 4.44, so we need to multiply 1.07 x 4.  That gives you 4.28, so we know that isn't the correct answer.  For option B, we need to multiply 1.07 x 5.  That is 5.35, so that also can't be the answer.  For C, we need to do 1.07 x 6, and that gives us 6.42.  So we know the correct answer is option C.

What is the area of a circle, if it's radius is 2cm?
slega [8]
25.13cm^2 or 8pi. The radius of a circle is 2 x pi x r^2. R is the radius. 2 x pi x 2^2cm -> 2 x pi x 4cm -> 8cm x pi -> 25.13cm^2. Leaving the answer in terms of pi would be 8pi.
