Answer:

The blue portion of the flag is actually 2/6 or 1/3 of the flag

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the size of the blue portion of the line it takes up twice the space as the white part. Imagine a small line drawn through the middle of the blue rectangle, now you can see that the flag is split up into 6 parts, rather then 5! Since we now have 2/6 of the flag being taken up by blue, that can be reduced down to 1/3 of the flag covered in blue.

Compute a · (b ✕ c), where a = i − 3j + k, b = 4i + j + k and c = 9i − j + 3k.

grandymaker [24]

$\mathbf a=\mathbf i-3\,\mathbf j+\mathbf k$
$\mathbf b=4\,\mathbf i+\mathbf j+\mathbf k$
$\mathbf c=9\,\mathbf i-\mathbf j+3\,\mathbf k$

$\mathbf b\times\mathbf c=\begin{vmatrix}\mathbf i&\mathbf j&\mathbf k\\4&1&1\\9&-1&3\end{vmatrix}=4\,\mathbf i-3\,\mathbf j-13\,\mathbf k$

$\mathbf a\cdot(\mathbf b\times\mathbf c)=(\mathbf i-3\,\mathbf j+\mathbf k)\cdot(2\,\mathbf i-3\,\mathbf j-13\,\mathbf k)=4+(-3)^2-13=0$

In the regual nonagon shown, what is the measure of angle x?

andre [41]

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is (n-2)*180, n being the number of sides.
a nonagon has nine sides, so the total of interior angles is (9-2)*180=7*180
this is a regular nonagon, so each interior angle has the same degrees:
7*180/9=7*20=140
the exterior angle=180-the interior angle=180-140=40
40 is the correct answer.
