The number of pennies in bank is 42

Solution:

Given that ratio of pennies to quarters in a piggy bank is 14 : 3

Let 14x be the number of pennies in piggy bank

Let 3x be the number of quarters in piggy bank

To find: number of pennies

Given that there are 51 quarters

number of pennies in piggy bank + number of quarters in piggy bank = 51

14x + 3x = 51

17x = 51

x = 3

number of pennies = 14x = 14(3) = 42

Thus the number of pennies in bank is 42

In the diagram, point C represents the center of the sphere. Diego says that the part of the sphere labeled D is the radius. Gre

Katen [24]

Answer:

Gregoire is correct; the diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the sphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sphere is a geometrical shape formed from a circle. Some of its parts are: diameter, center, radius circumference, etc.

The center of a sphere is a point at its middle. The diameter is a straight line, e.g a chord, that is drawn from one point on the circumference of a sphere to another point and passes through its center. While radius is a line that is from the center of the sphere to a point on its circumference.

A diameter is twice of a radius, so that:

Radius = $\frac{Diameter}{2}$

⇒ Diameter = 2 × Radius

Therefore with respect to the question, Gregoire is correct because a diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the sphere.
