5 0

40 pieces

8/1 : 1/5   = 8/1*5/1   = 40/1  = 40

Another method :

1/5 = 0.2

8/0.2 = 40

Find the area of a circle having a radius of 9 cm
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

81 pi cm^2

or approximately 254.34 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is given by

A = pi r^2

A = pi (9)^2

A = 81 pi

Using 3.14 as an approximation for pi

A = 81 (3.14)

A =254.34 cm^2

A pole 5 feet tall is used to support a guy wire for a tower, which runs from the tower to a metal stake in the ground. After pl
sammy [17]

The length of the guy's wire to the nearest foot is 89 feet.

The situation forms a right-angled triangle.

<h3>Properties of a right angle triangle:</h3>
  • A right-angle triangle has one angle of 90 degrees.
  • The sides can be found using the Pythagoras theorem.
  • The angles can be found using trigonometric ratios.

The hypotenuse of the triangle is the length of the wire.

let's use the smaller triangle to find the angle opposite the tower. Therefore,

tan ∅ = opposite / adjacent

tan ∅ =  5 / 2

∅ = tan⁻¹ 2.5

∅ = 68.1985905136

∅ = 68.20°

Therefore,

cos 68.20 = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 68.20 = 33 / hypotenuse

hypotenuse = 33 / cos 68.20

hypotenuse = 88.8606843161

Therefore,

length of wire ≈ 89 feet.

Z varies jointly as x and y. z=60 when x=5 and y=6. find z when x = 7 and y=3
Aneli [31]

Answer:

z = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be answered in 2 steps as follows:

Step 1: Calculation of the constant of the variation

The equation for the joint variation can be given as follows:

z = cxy ................... (1)

Where;

z = 60

c = constant = ?

x = 5

y = 6

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve c, we have:

60 = c * 5 * 6

60 = c * 30

c = 60 / 30

c = 2

Step 2: find z when x = 7 and y = 3

Since from Step 1 c = 2, we now use equation (1) and substitute the values into it to find z as follows:

z = 2 * 7 * 3

z = 42
