Answer:

1/4h

Step-by-step explanation:

If the time for the car trip is x, then given that a car trip is 1/2h shorter than a bus trip, it means that adding 1/2h to the time for a car trip gives the time for the bus trip.

Hence, the time for the bus trip

= (1/2 + x)h

since the bus trip is 3/4h, it means that

1/2 + x = 3/4

collecting like terms,

x = 3/4 - 1/2

= 3/4 - 2/4

= 1/4

Hence the car trip is 1/4h.

How to explain how to plot the points P(4,10) and Q(9,3) in a coordinate plane?

SpyIntel [72]

Firstly, this is the most important thing to know (x,y). This means that you plot the first number in the x axis and the second number in the y axis. For example, (4,10). You would plot the 4 on the right side of the x axis and you would plot the 10 all the way at the top in the y axis.

The sector of a circle shown to the left has its center at point OO. The arc XYZXYZ has length 10.810.8, and the central angle X

BARSIC [14]

Answer: Length of the radius of the sector is 6 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of an arc = 10.8

Radian of a central angle = 1.8

First we convert radian into degrees,

$1\ radian= 57.295779513\textdegree\\\\1.8\ radians=1.8\times 57.3\textdegree\\\\1.8\ radians=103.14\textdegree$

As we know the formula for "Length of an arc":

$\text{Length of an arc}=\frac{\theta}{360\textdegree}\times 2\pi r\\\\10.8=\frac{103.14}{360\textdegree}\times 2\times \frac{22}{7}\times r\\\\10.8=1.8r\\\\r=\frac{10.8}{1.8}\\\\r=6$
