Can someone explain the difference between the perimeter and the circumference?

Answer:Perimeter is the limit of any given geometric figure. Circumference is just the name given to a circle’s perimeter, in other words, the circle’s limit, its edge.

The reason for this is because the perimeter is, by definition, the sum of the lenghth of every side of any given geometric figure. A circle has either no sides, or number of sides, so its perimeter has to be treated differently.

Remember that π (Pi) equals 3.141592 approximately. This is a constant, meaning that no matter what circle you are studying, Pi will always have the same value. It is the relation between the diameter and the lenght of its circumference. A circle with diameter xwill travel 3.141592x before it completes a revolution. This is where Pi comes from.

So the difference would be that a “normal” perimeter is only the sum of the sides. A circumference is the perimeter of a circle, given a diameter and the constant value of Pi, that derives from other properties of the circle, and not by its sides (remember a circle has either none or nnumber of sides).

Perimeter is for a geometric shape (square, triangle, diamond, rectangle,etc.), whereas circumference is the “perimeter” of a circle

SAT reading and writing section scores of a random sample of twenty 11th-grade students in a certain high school are given below

kvasek [131]

Answer:

The value of test statistics is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given below the SAT reading and writing section scores of a random sample of twenty 11th-grade students in a certain high school;

380, 520, 480, 510, 560, 630, 670, 490, 500, 550, 400, 350, 440, 490, 620, 660, 700, 730, 740, 560

Let $\sigma$ = population standard of the reading and writing section SAT score of the students in this school

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\sigma \leq$ 100 {means that the reading and writing section SAT score of the students in this school is lesser than or equal to 100}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\sigma$ > 100 {means that the reading and writing section SAT score of the students in this school is higher than 100}

The test statistics that would be used here is One-sample Chi-square test statistics;

T.S. = $\frac{(n-1)s^{2} }{\sigma^{2} }$ ~ $\chi^{2} __n_-_1$

where, $s^{2}$ = sample variance = $\frac{\sum (X-\bar X)^{2} }{n-1}$ = 13135.8

n = sample of 11th-grade students = 20

So, the test statistics = $\frac{(20-1)\times 13135.8^{2} }{100^{2} }$

= 24.96 ≈ 25

Hence, the value of test statistics is 25.

Solve the simultaneous equations

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

x = -2, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 5

5x - 2y = -16

In order to find the value of a variable, we must eliminate the other variable by multiplying the equations to get the same coefficient.

We can multiply the first equation by 5 and the second one by 2 to get the same coefficient for x, the equations then become:

10x + 15y = 25

10x - 4y = -32

Now we can subtract:

19y = 57

y = 3

Since we know the value of y, we can substitute it into one of the original equations:

2x + 3(3) = 5

2x + 9 = 5

2x = -4

x = -2

The equation d=4 -1/15t represents your distance from home,d, for each minute you walk,t. If you graphed this equation, determin

Jobisdone [24]

When you graph an equation, it should be dependent variable against the independent variable. For this problem, the independent variable is the time, so this is along the x-axis. The dependent variable is d, so this is along the y-axis. Since the slope is Δy/Δx, then it is also equivalent to Δd/Δt. Therefore, the answer is B.
