X ÷ 4 = 8

Multiply each side by 4

x = 32

He subtracted 4 from 12 and got 8

Answer:

The integer is -16

Step-by-step explanation:

The first scuba diver is 23 feet below sea level. THe second is 7 feet closer.

23 - 7 = 16. He is still under sea level, so it would be -16

A Norman window has the shape of a semicircle atop a rectangle so that the diameter of the semicircle is equal to the width of t

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

132.233 ft2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the width of the rectangle 'w' and the length 'x'. So the area of the semicircle is:

$A_1 = \pi*radius^2/2$

$A_1 = \pi*(w/2)^2/2$

$A_1 = \pi/8*w^2$

And the area of the rectangle is:

$A_2 = w*x$

If the perimeter of the window is 41 feet, we have:

$Perimeter = length + 2*width + \pi*radius$

$41 = x + 2*w + \pi*w/2$

$x = 41 - w(2 + \pi/2)$

Now, the equation for the total area of the window is:

$A = A_1 + A_2 = \pi/8*w^2 + w*x$

$A = \pi/8*w^2 + w*(41 - w(2 + \pi/2))$

$A = (\pi/8-2 - \pi/2)*w^2 + 41w = -3.1781w^2 + 41w$

To find the maximum area, we can find the x-coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic equation:

$x\_vertex = -b / 2a = -41 / (-3.1781*2) = 6.45$

So the width that gives us the maximum area of the window is 6.45 feet, and the area will be:

$A = -3.1781w^2 + 41w = -3.1781*(6.45)^2 + 41*6.45 = 132.233\ ft^2$

A pile of earth removed from an excavation is a cone measuring 6ft high and 30ft across its base. How many trips will it take to

nignag [31]

Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Excavation cone measures

height $h=6\ ft$

Diameter $d=30\ ft$

Truck can dump $125\ ft^3$ at a time

The volume of a cone is

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

Putting values

$\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \pi\times 15^2\times 6\\\Rightarrow V=1413.9\approx 1414\ ft^3$

No of trips(N) required to accumulate this much volume is given by

$\Rightarrow N=\dfrac{1414}{125}=13.3\approx 14$

Therefore, 14 trips are necessary to accumulate a cone of volume $1414\ ft^3$
