Convert 120 kilometers per hour into miles per hour using dimensional analysis

Mathematics

Answer:

74.56 miles / h

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mile = 1.609 km

Using the dimensional analysis you multiply the number you want to convert by 1 (using a fraction with the needed units)

Since 1 mile = 1.609 km then:

$1= \frac{1 mile}{1.609 km}$

Now to convert 120 kilometers per hour to miles per hour :

$120 \frac{km}{h} * \frac{1 mile}{1.609 km} = \frac{120}{1.609}\frac{miles}{h} = 74.56 \frac{miles}{h}$

<h2>Answers / Step-by-step explanation:</h2><h3>a. What is the length of one side of the square.</h3>

Looking at the image, the radius (r) of the circle appears to cover half of the length of a side of the square. Hence, the side of the square has a length of 2r.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<h3>b. The formula A= πr² is used to find the area of a circle. The formula A=4r² can be used to find the area of the square. Write the ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the square in the simplest form.</h3>

$Ratio=\frac{\pi r^{2} }{4r^2} =\frac{\pi}{4}$ .

Notice that the value "r²" disappears from the expression because is being multiplied and divided by it at the same time.

$Ratio=\frac{4\pi }{16} =0.7854.$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

c. Complete the table.

To complete each cell of the table, simply take the equation of the asked parameter and substitute the value of r by the number indicated in the title of the column. For example, column 3 should be filled out like this:

Area of Circle (units²): π(3)²or 9π.

Length of 1 Side of the Square: 2r= 2(3)= 6.

Area of Square (units²)= 4r²= 4(3)²= 36.

Ratio: $\frac{\pi}{4}$ .

Do the same for all the other columns.

The answers to the table are presented on the attached image.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

d. What can you conclude about the relationship between the area of the circle and the square?

They will always have the same value, π/4, regardless of the size of the square and circle. As long as the circle borders meet the square's at the middle of each side of the square, the relationship will be the same.

Find the equation of the line passing through point (4,2) and perpendicular to AB

Setler [38]

Answer:

a. -⅓

b. 3

c. y = 3x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Gradient of line AB:

A(1, 3), B(7, 1)

$Gradient = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{1 - 3}{7 - 1} = \frac{-2}{6} = -\frac{1}{3}$

Gradient (m) = -⅓

b. The of the line that is perpendicular to line AB would be the negative reciprocal of the gradient of line AB.

Thus, the negative reciprocal of -⅓ = 3

Gradient of the line perpendicular to line AB = 3

c. Equation of the line that passes through (4, 2) and is perpendicular to line AB:

We can write the equation using the point-slope form equation, y - b = m(x - a), where,

(a, b) represents a point on the line, and,

m = gradient/slope

We know that the gradient/slope (m) = 3

Also, a point, (a, b) = (4, 2).

Therefore, substitute a = 4, b = 2, and m = 3 into y - b = m(x - a)

Thus:

y - 2 = 3(x - 4)

y - 2 = 3x - 12

Add 2 to both sides

y = 3x - 12 + 2

y = 3x - 10

In fig if x+y=w+z then prove that AOB is a line.

frez [133]

Answer:

As Given, x+y=w+z

To Prove: AOB is a line or x+y=180

∘

(linear pair.)

According to the question,

x+y+w+z=360

∘

∣ Angles around a point.

(x+y)+(w+z)=360

∘

(x+y)+(x+y)=360

∘

∣ Given x+y=w+z

2(x+y)=360

∘

(x+y)=180

∘

Hence, x+y makes a linear pair.

Therefore, AOB is a straight line

HELP ASAPPPPP! I WILL GIVE BRAINLEST

Illusion [34]

The two numbers have 1 as a common factor and nothing else. Hence 1 is the HCF. This proves that the HCF of any two consecutive numbers is always a one.

Two integers are relatively prime (or coprime) if there is no integer greater than one that divides them both (that is, their greatest common divisor is one). For example, 12 and 13 are relatively prime, but 12 and 14 are not.
