Answer:

4.9\%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the probability of hitting a ball into the circular hole, divide the area of the hole by the area of the playing area

Let

x ----> the area of the hole

y ----> the area of the playing game

so

P=\frac{x}{y}

we have

y=16\ ft^2

<em>Find the area of the hole</em>

The area of the circle (hole) is equal to

A=\pi r^{2}

we have

r=1/2=0.5\ ft ----> the radius is half the diameter

assume

\pi =3.14

substitute

A=(3.14)(0.5)^{2}

A=0.785\ ft^2

<em>Find the probability</em>

P=\frac{x}{y}

we have

x=0.785\ ft^2

y=16\ ft^2

substitute

P=\frac{0.785}{16}

P=0.0491

Convert to percentage

0.0491*100=4.91\%

Round to the nearest tenth

4.9\%

For each pair of points below, think about the line that joins them. For which pairs is the line parallel to the y-axis? Circle
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel then their slopes are always same.

Following this rule we can find the slope by the given pairs of coordinates of the options.

If the slope of the line is same as the slope of y axis then the line passing through these points will be parallel to the y axis.

Slope of y - axis = ∞

Option A). Slope = \frac{y-y'}{x-x'}

                            =  \frac{24-8.5}{3.22-3.2}

                            = \frac{15.5}{0.02}

                            = 775

Therefore, line passing through points (3.2, 8.5) and (3.22, 24) is not parallel to y axis.

Option B). Slope of the line passing through (\frac{40}{3},\frac{14}{3}) and (\frac{40}{3},7) will be

= \frac{\frac{14}{3}-7}{\frac{40}{3}-\frac{40}{3}}

= ∞

Therefore, line passing though these points is parallel to the y axis.

Option C). Slope of the line passing through (2.9,5.4) and (7.2, 5.4)

= \frac{5.4-5.4}{7.2-2.9}

= 0

Therefore, slope of this line is not equal to the slope of y axis.

Option B. is the answer.

What is the pattern in the values as the exponents increase?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

"Multiply the previous value by 2"

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check the first 2 terms for all the answer choices.

1. Add \frac{1}{16} to the previous value:

\frac{1}{32}+\frac{1}{16}=\frac{3}{32}

Doesn't match.

2. Subtract \frac{1}{16} from the previous value:

\frac{1}{32}-\frac{1}{16}=-\frac{1}{32}

Doesn't match.

3. Divide the previous value by 2:

\frac{\frac{1}{32}}{2}\\=\frac{1}{32}*\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{64}

Doesn't match.

4. Multiply the previous value by 2:

\frac{1}{32}*2=\frac{2}{32}=\frac{1}{16}

DOES WORK!

Also, doing the same thing with all the other values would give us matching answer. So this choice is right.
