Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

A painter mixes 2 1/2 pints (2.5 pints) of yellow paint with 4 pints of red paint to make a certain shade of orange paint. The ratio of yellow paint to red paint is 2.5:4. In order to find the pints of yellow paint needed to be mixed with 10 pints of red paint, we will use conversion fractions.

10 red pints × (2.5 yellow pints/ 4 red pints) ≈ 6 pints (we round off to 1 significant figure)

For every 4 pints of red, there are 2 1/12 pints of yellow. 8 of those red pints would make 5 yellow pints. Adding 2 more pints of red to get to the 10 would mean you have to half the 2 1/2, which would be 1 1/2. So, you would need 6 1/2 pints of yellow mixed with the 10 red pints to make the shade of orange. :)

What radius of a circle is required to inscribe a regular hexagon with an area of 210.44 cm2 and an apothem of 7.794 cm
alekssr [168]
We know that

[area of a regular hexagon]=6*[area of one <span>equilateral triangle]
</span>210.44=6*[area of one equilateral triangle]
[area of one equilateral triangle]=210.44/6-----> 35.07 cm²

[area of one equilateral triangle]=b*h/2
h=7.794 cm
b=2*area/h------> b=2*35.07/7.794------>b= 9 cm

the length side of a regular hexagon is 9 cm
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem
</span>r²=h²+(b/2)²------>r²=7.794²+(4.5)²------> r²=81--------> r=9 cm

<span>this last step was not necessary because the radius is equal to the hexagon side------> (remember the equilateral triangles)
</span>
the answer is
the radius is 9 cm

Maru [420]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

First plot points A, B, C and D on the coordinate plane and connect them to get quadrilateral ABCD. Then plot the vertices E, F, G, H of the quadrilateral EFGH in each case.

For each of these cases there are attached diagrams

1 case - reflection acraoss the x-axis

2 case - translation 5 units down

3 case - reflection across the y-axis

4 case - translation 7 units right

Unattached earlobes are a dominant trait in humans. finn and maggie both have unattached earlobes but their daughter, celia, doe
11111nata11111 [884]
The answer is 1/4.

The genes when combined must be Heterozygous, meaning they have one dominant and one recessive, Celia must have gotten the 1/4 recessive, and it won't change the way genetics are just because you've already had offspring, the percentage stays the same.
