Answer:

B) 16 . . . . the value of Z

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells us that ...

... x = y +12

... z = y - 8

Then x - z = (y +12) -(y -8) = 20.

In ratio units, we have ...

... x:z = 9:4

The difference of these in ratio units is 9-4 = 5, so each ratio unit must stand for 20/5 = 4 units of X, Y, or Z. Hence ...

... Z = 4·4

... Z = 16

_____

Check by finding the other values

... X = 9·4 = 36

... Y = X -12 = 24 = Z +8 . . . . yes

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

X = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4X - 3) + 2 = 8

8X - 6 + 2 = 8

8X - 4 = 8

8X = 12

X = 3/2

What is the best approximation for the area of this circle?

butalik [34]

$Area =113.0ft^2$ . Correct option is D) 113.0 ft² .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , A circle labeled with radius = 6 ft . We need to find the best approximation for the area of this circle . Let's find out:

We know that area of circle = $\pi r^2$ , We have following parameters as

$Radius = r = 6 ft\\\pi = 3.14\\Area= \pi r^2 = ?$

So , Area of circle is

⇒ $Area =\pi r^2$

⇒ $Area =(3.14) (6)^2$

⇒ $Area =(3.14) (36)^$

⇒ $Area =113.04ft^2$

On Rounding off

⇒ $Area =113.0ft^2$

Therefore , $Area =113.0ft^2$ . Correct option is D) 113.0 ft² .

$Answer: \\ 1. \: x = \frac{ {32}^{2} }{24} = \frac{128}{3} \\y = \sqrt{ {24}^{2} + {32}^{2} } = 40\\ z = \frac{32 \times 40}{24} = \frac{160}{3} \\ \\ 2. \: x = \sqrt{( {4 \sqrt{5} )}^{2} - {8}^{2} } = 4$
