Answer:

The number is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be = x

Five times the difference of twice a number and three can be written as 5(2x-3)

Decreased by the sum of the number and eight, (x+8)

Hence complete expression becomes:

5(2x-3)-(x +8)=13

Now solving for x;

=> 10x -15- x -8 =13

=> 9x- 23=13

=> 9x= 36

So we get x = 4

The number is 4.

PSYCHO15rus [73]
We are given square with side length l. The largest circle that we can cut from that square has diameter equal to that side. This circle is called inscribed circle.

When cutting circle from square paper we will be left with some extra paper. Area of that extra paper can be calculated using formula:
area_of_extra_paper = area_of_square - area_of_circle

Now we can insert formulas:
A =  l^{2} -  ( \frac{l}{2} )^{2}  * \pi  \\ A=l^{2} -   \frac{l^{2}}{4} * \pi  \\ A=l^{2} (1- \frac{ \pi }{4} )

This is area of extra paper when we cut one circle. When we cut multiple circles we have:
A=N*l^{2} (1- \frac{ \pi }{4} )
Where:
N = number of circles
This formula is roughly:
A=0.785*N*l^{2}

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Well, make brainlist okay

1) FH = JH ( GIVEN) Side

2) FG = JK (GIVEN) side

3) GH = HK ( MIDPOINT) side

AND BOOM

FGH = JKH ( from SSS, mention eq)

S mean side

Given sinθ = 2/5 and cosθ &lt; 0:<br> 1. Find cscθ<br> 2. Find cotθ
Tems11 [23]

Recall that

sin²(<em>θ</em>) + cos²(<em>θ</em>) = 1

for all <em>θ</em>, and given that cos(<em>θ</em>) < 0, we find that

cos(<em>θ</em>) = -√(1 - sin²(<em>θ</em>)) = -√(1 - (2/5)²) = -√(21)/5

Now,

csc(<em>θ</em>) = 1/sin(<em>θ</em>) = 1/(2/5) = 5/2

and

cot(<em>θ</em>) = cos(<em>θ</em>)/sin(<em>θ</em>) = (-√(21)/5)/(2/5) = -√(21)/2
