The slope is the vertical change per 1 unit of horizontal change so:
v = vert cahnge
h = hor change

slope = v / h
.46 = 1 / h

so solve that equation for h and that's your answer

Answer:

Second option is correct

Arc\ length = \frac{3}{4} \pi\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Central angle = 15°

Radius of the circle = 9 in

Arc length = ?

Given formula is

\frac{Arc\ length}{Circumfrance} = \frac{n}{360}

Where n is the central angle of the sector.

Write the given formula for Arc length of the sector.

Arc\ length = Circumfrance\times \frac{n}{360}

We know that the the circumference of the circle is 2\pi r, where r is the radius of the circle,

Arc\ length = 2\pi r\times \frac{n}{360}

Now we substitute central angle value and radius value in above equation.

Arc\ length = 2\pi 9\times \frac{15}{360}

Arc\ length = 18\times \pi \frac{15}{360}

Arc\ length = \frac{18\times 15}{360} \pi               ----------(\frac{18}{360}=\frac{1}{20})

Arc\ length = \frac{15}{20} \pi

Divide the numerator and denominator by 5.

Arc\ length = \frac{3}{4} \pi\ in

Therefore the arc length of the sector is \frac{3}{4} \pi\ in

A box with a square and a closed top must have a volume of 125 cubic inches. Find the dimensions of the box that minimize the am
attashe74 [19]
If a box has a square base its volume will be:

V=hb^2  where h is the height...

h=V/b^2  we are told that V=125 so

h=125/b^2  now for the surface area, which consists of the two bases for a total of 2b^2.  It will also have four sides with a total area of 4(bh)=4bh so

A=2b^2+4bh, using h found above in this gives us:

A=2b^2+4b(V/b^2)

A=2b^2+4V/b

A=(2b^3+4V)/b, then taking the derivatives we can find the velocity of the area function.

dA/db=(6b^3-2b^3-4V)/b^2

dA/db=(4b^3-4V)/b^2

dA/db=0 when 4b^3-4V=0

b^3=V

b=V^(1/3), since V=125

b=5in, and since h=V/b^2

h=125/25=5in

So the dimensions that will minimize the amount of material used to enclose a volume of 125in^2 is a 5in cube.

h=b=5in

A is between C and T and CA =4x + 6, AT =7x-6, and CT =132.
Bingel [31]

Answer:

  • x =12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • A is between C and T
  • CA =4x + 6
  • AT =7x-6
  • CT =132

As per segment addition postulate:

  • CT = CA + AT
  • 4x + 6 + 7x - 6 = 132
  • 11x = 132
  • x = 132/11
  • x = 12

Solve for m ?( geometry?)
kupik [55]
Answer: m = 16

Remember: the base angles of a trapezoid are congruent.

Form your equation.
4m + 1 = 2m + 33

Solve for m.
4m + 1 = 2m + 33             Subtract 1 from both sides
4m = 2m + 32                  Subtract 2m from both sides
2m = 32                           Divide by 2 to both sides
m = 16                              Answer!

You can also check your work.
4(16) + 1 = 2(16) + 33
64 + 1 = 32 + 33
65 = 65
