Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Although you have not been provided with direct masses, you can use the percentage composition values in place of masses.

First, calculate the number of moles of each element:

This is the formula for the ionic compound calcium carbonate, confirming that our result is indeed in the magnitude of a plausible answer. In fact, given the fact that calcium carbonate is ionic, it is also true that this empirical formula equates to the unit formula of the compound.

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = x + 4? The slope of the line is ______?
serg [7]
Slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other. The slope of the given equation (which is in slope-intercept form) is 1, the invisible coefficient of x. The opposite reciprocal of 1 is -1, thus the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y = x + 4 is -1.

Hope this helps.

If a circle garden has a diameter of 60 feet and there’s a sidewalk 18 feet from the center, how long is the sidewalk?
Paul [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditions

  • A diameter must be chosen such that it meete the sidewalk perpendicular to itself.
  • The diameter meets the sidewalk at the sidewalk's midpoint.
  • The diameter meets the sidewalk such that the diameter is cut into two segments 30+18 and 12
  • The sidewalk is cut in 1/2 where the diameter meets the sidewalk as the diagram shows.
  • If all these conditions are met, the relationship between the four lines is

Equation

48/12 = x^2

Solution

4 = x^2

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(4)

x  = 2

The length of the sidewalk is 4. Why is it doubled.

Because there are 2 xs of equal length
