Givens

Let the number of students in the class be x

Let the number of pieces of gum she gave out be 3x

Equation

3x + 8 = 168 This will not work out evenly. Let's try x - 1. The reason for that is because she may not give out anything to herself.

3(x - 1) + 8 = 168      This doesn't work either.

Well we have to choose. It's a rounding problem.

3x + 8 = 168     Subtract 8 from both sides.

3x = 168 - 8      Combine

3x = 160           Divide by 3 on both sides.

x = 160 / 3

x = 53.333333333

Since that can't be, we could say there were 53 students.

3x

What is the area of the kite? (This was all that was given)
lesya [120]
The area of a kite is (1/2) * x * y, where x and y are the length of the two diagonals. In this case, the length of the two diagonals are 10 ft and 2 ft.
<span>Plug that in the equation, we get 1/2 * 2 * 10. We multiply the 2 and 10 first to get 20, that leaves us with 1/2 x 20, which is 10, so the area of this kite is 10 ft squared.</span>

(8x-5) (2x) (3x-10). what is the largest angle??
kompoz [17]
8x-5 would be the largest angle because as you approach a larger and larger x value, 8x-5 will skyrocket past the other two. Also when you plug in a low value like 1, 8x-5=3, which is still higher than the other two. The only exception is if you plug in a negative x value which is impossible.
8x-5

Example 2
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: (a) 314.2cm², (b) 157.1cm², (c) 78.55cm² (e) 6.77

Step-by-step explanation: (a)  Area of the circle with radius of 10 cm = πr²

                                                                          = 3.142 × 10 × 10

                                                                          = 3.142 × 100

                                                                          = 314.2cm²

The formula                                                       = πr²

(b)  Area of the half of a circle known as semicircle

                                                                         = πr²/2

                                                                         = 3.142 ×10 × 10/2

                                                                         = 3.142 × 50

                                                                         = 157.1cm²

The formula                                                      = πr²/2

(c)  A quarter of a circle is called quadrant

                                                            = πr²/4

                                                            = 3.142 × 10 × 10/4

                                                            = 314.2/4

                                                            = 78.55cm²

The formula is written thus = πr²/4, which implies that the circle is divided into 4 unit

(d) The conjecture about how to determine the area of the sector is

Formula of a sector = ∅/360(πr²)

<u>Information</u>

The arc  cant be 60°, therefore information incomplete.

(e) Area of the sector with the angle AOB of 60° = 24.

To find the radius of the angle, make v the subject of the formula from the formula.

Sector area = πr²∅/360°

equate formula to 24.

Therefore πr²∅/360° = 24

Multiply through by360° to make it a linear expression

It now becomes πr²∅ =24× 360°

                                                     r² = 24  x 360/π × ∅°

                                                     r² = 24 × 360° /3.142 × 60°

                                                     r² = 3,640/188.52

                                                     r² = 45.8

To find r , we take the square root of both side by applying laws of indicies

                                    Therefore r = √45 .8

                                                      r = 6.77

(f)   General formula = ∅°/360° × (πr²)

angle substended at centre by the arc = x°

assuming the radius of the circle = ycm, Therefore,  area of the sector = { ∅°/360° × πy² }

40% of the students in a school band play brass instruments while 4 students play strings instruments
MaRussiya [10]
10 students (brass)=40% of band
4 students (strings)=16% of band 
? students (other)=44% rest of band
14/56%=?/44%
(cross multiply to find ?){don't forget to turn percents into decimals}
?=11
There are 25 students in total in the band.
