First, we should figure out the area of the entire face of the clock because we need that information to solve the problem. The formula for the area of a circle is A=pi*r^2. Since we know that r (radius) is equal to 11.25 feet, we can plug this in for r and solve for A: A=pi*11.25^2 which equals A=397.61 ft^2 rounded to the nearest hundredth. 

Now, to find the area the hand sweeps over in 5 minutes, we should determine how much of the clock the hand sweeps over in 5 minutes. Think about it like this: since 5 minutes goes into 60 minutes 12 times (60/5=12), then 5 minutes is one twelfth of the clock's face. Therefore, we are going to divide the total area by 12 (397.61/12) to get 33.13 ft^2, so the answer is C.

I hope this helps.

Answer:

B) 4,320

Step-by-step explanation:

You would first find the volume of the triangular prism using this formula:

V = 1/2 x A x C x H

A = 3 C = 6 H = 24

V = 1/2 x 3 x 6 x 24 = 216 cubic feet

Since there are 20 pounds of snow per cubic foot, you multiply the cubic feet (216) by the pounds of snow per cubic foot (20):

216 x 20 = 4,320 pounds

Choose Yes or No to tell whether the expressions are equivalent. 1. 4(5c + 3) and 9c + 7 yes or no 2. 10f – 10 and 2(8f – 5) yes
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

1) No

2) No

3)Yes

4)No

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property: a(b + c) =a*b + a*c

1) 4(5c + 3) = (4*5c) + 4*3

                  = 20c + 12

NO

2) 2(8f - 5) = (2*8f) - (2*5)

                 = 16f - 10

NO

3) 3(4g + 7) = (3*4g) + (3*7)

                  = 12g + 21

YES

4) 6(4j - 6) =(6 * 4j) - (6*6)

                = 24j - 36

NO
