5 1/4 - 2 2/3

first you find the LCM, so u can make both fractions have a like denominator. I'm thinking the LCM is 12, so:

(5 3/12) - (2 8/12)
= 63/12 - 32/12
=31/12
= 2 and 7/12

5 1/4 - 2 2/3 = 2 7/12

21/4 − 8/3

<span>= ((21 × 3) − (8 × 4)) / (4 × 3) </span>

= (63 - 32) / 12

= 31/12

= 31/12

<span>= 2 7/12

Find the area of the regular polygon. Round to the nearest tenth.

kari74 [83]

Given:

The figure of a regular polygon.

To find:

The area of the regular polygon.

Solution:

From the given figure it is clear that the regular polygon has 4 vertices. It means, it is a square.

Distance between the center and the vertex is 7 yd. So, the diagonal of the square is

$d=7+7$

$d=14$ yd

We know that, area of a square is

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}d^2$

Putting d=14 in the above formula, we get

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}(14)^2$

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}(196)$

$A=98$

Therefore, the area of the regular polygon is 98 sq. yd.

A person is strolling along a moving walkway at a constant velocity of +1.00 m/s with respect to the walkway, which moves at a c

Bezzdna [24]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The velocity of the person on the walkway relative to the ground is the velocity of the walkway (relative to the ground) plus the velocity of the person relative to the walkway.
It is
1.0 + 0.5 = 1.5 m/s

The person on the ground moves at - 0.2 m/s, which is in the opposite direction to that of the walkway and the person on the walkway.
Therefore the velocity of the person on the walkway relative to the person on the ground is
105 - (-0.2) = 1.7 m/s

Answer: 1.7 m/s
