The minute hand has swept through 46 minutes on the clock. You have to set up a ratio to solve this:

\frac{46\ minutes}{60\ minutes} = \frac{x\ degrees}{360\ degrees}

You can compare the 60 minutes on a clock to 360 degrees because 60 minutes on a clock is one whole rotation. So then, you cross multiply and simplify:

\frac{46\ minutes}{60\ minutes} = \frac{x\ degrees}{360\ degrees}\\\\46*360=x*60\\16560=60x\\276=x

Therefore, the minute hand has swept through an angle with a measure of 276 degrees.

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 19ft more than five times the length of the shorter leg. the length of the h
dangina [55]
Let x represent the length of the shorter leg.

Longer leg: 5x +19
Hypotenuse: 5x +20

Pythagorean theorem:
.. x^2 +(5x +19)^2 = (5x +20)^2
.. x^2 +25x^2 +190x +19^2 = 25x^2 +200x +20^2 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. x^2 -10x -39 = 0
.. (x -13)(x +3) = 0
.. x = 13 . . . . . . . . . . leg lengths must be positive

The side length of the triangle are 13, 84, 85 feet.

Is 24 ft greater than 324 inches
Margaret [11]
First lets convert 24 ft into inches. Each foot has 12 inches so 24*12 equals 288. Now we have to see which one is greater 288 inches or 324 inches. 324 inches is greater so therefore 324 inches is greater than 24 ft
