PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!! A pom-pom manufacturer makes each of its pom-poms with 35% white strands (w), 25% blue strands (b), and 40%

red strands (r). If each pom-pom has a total of 80 strands, how many of strands of each color are needed to make a pair of pom-poms? In this activity, you’ll work through this pom-pom problem step by step.
Part A

Write a proportion for the number of strands in each color to find how many strands are needed to make one pom-pom.

White strands: w/80 =?/? Blue strands: b/80=?/? Red strands: r/80=?/?

Answer:

w/80 = <u>35/100 </u>

b/80 = <u>25/100</u>

r/80 = <u>40/100</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

35% is the percentage of the amount of white strands.

25% is the percentage of the amount of blue strands.

40% is the percentage of the amount of red strands.

When you put a percentage in a fraction, you always put 100 as the denominator, and the percentage as the numerator.

Answer:  A)  For a pair of pom pom,

Total white strands = 56

Total blue strands = 40

Total red strands = 64

B) Required proportions,

White strands: w/80 =35/ 100

Blue strands: b/80=25/100

Red strands: r/80=40/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, According to the question,

Total number of strands for each pom-pom = 80

Also, A pom-pom manufacturer makes each of its pom-poms with 35% white strands (w), 25% blue strands (b), and 40% red strands (r).

Thus, In each pom-pom,

White strands = 35% of 80 = \frac{35\times 80}{100} = 28

Blue strands = 25% of 80 =  \frac{25\times 80}{100} = 20

Red strands = 40% of 80 = \frac{64\times 80}{100} = 32

A) Thus In pair of pom-pom,

White strands = 2×White strands in each strands = 2 × 28 = 56

Blue strands = 2× Blue strands = 2 × 20 = 40

Red strands = 2 × 32 = 64

B) Since, Here w represents white strands, b represents blue strands and r represents red strands,

Thus, w = 35% of 80

⇒ w = \frac{35\times 80}{100}

⇒ \frac{w}{80} = \frac{35}{100} (On dividing both sides by 80)

Similarly, \frac{b}{80} = \frac{25}{100}

And, \frac{r}{80} = \frac{40}{100}

Which are the required proportions.

Given: △ABC, m∠A=60°,<br> m∠C=45°, AB=9<br> Find: Perimeter of △ABC,<br> Area of △ABC
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Perimeter of ΔABC: \frac{27}{2} + \frac{9}{2} * \sqrt6 units

Area of ΔABC: \frac{81}{8}*\sqrt3 + \frac{243}{8} units

<u>Skills required: HS Geo, Special Triangles</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The best option is to break down this triangle. Let's draw an altitude from Point B down to Segment AC. The point from the altitude that intersects AC is Point D. BD is the height of our triangle, AC is the base.

2) Angle A is 60 degrees, and since Angle BDA is 90 degrees, Angle ABD is 30 degrees. We can use the 30-60-90 degree right triangle property for the triangle BDA.

  • This states that if the side opposite the 30 degree angle is x, the side opposite the 60 degree angle is x*\sqrt3, and the side opposite the 90 degree angle is 2x.

AB is 9 units, and it is opposite the 90 degree angle. This means that 2x=9, x = \frac{9}{2} ==> This then means that AD, the segment opposite the 30 degree angle in this triangle is \frac{9}{2} units. Segment BD (the height) is \frac{9}{2} * \sqrt3.

3) Angle C is 45 degrees, and Angle BDC is 90 degrees, which means that Angle CBD is 45 degrees. We can use the 45-45-90 degree right triangle property for the triangle BCD.

  • This states that if the side opposite the 45 degree angle is x, the other side opposite a 45 degree angle is also x, but the hypotenuse (side opposite the right (90 degree) angle) is \sqrt{2}*x.

BD is \frac{9}{2} * \sqrt3, which means DC is the same. BC, which is the hypotenuse is BD multiplied by square-root-2, which is \frac{9}{2} * \sqrt6.

4) Area is \frac{1}{2}*b*h, the base (b) is AC (which is \frac{9}{2}+\frac{9}{2}*\sqrt3), the height is BD (\frac{9}{2}*\sqrt3). When multiple you will get \frac{81}{4}*\sqrt3 + \frac{243}{4}, then this multiplied by 1/2 is

\frac{81}{8}*\sqrt3 + \frac{243}{8} <--> this is the area!

5) Perimeter is just the sum of all side: 9 + \frac{9}{2} + \frac{9}{2} * \sqrt6 = \frac{27}{2} + \frac{9}{2} * \sqrt6 unit

Work out area of this semi circle with diameter 10
ANTONII [103]

Area of a circle is pi x r^2

R is the radius which is have the diameter: r = 10/2 = 5

Area of the full circle would be 3.14 x 5^2 = 3.14 x 25 = 78.5 square units.

A semi circle is half a full circle

Area of the semi circle = 78.5/2 = 39.25 square units.
