To measure the length or height of something which is a little smaller we prefer to use centimeters.

Lets look at each of the options one by one.

1. Distance between Philadelphia and New York , it is roughly about 94.1 miles which will be way too big of a number if converted in to centimeters (it will be 15000000 cm).

2. Length of a paperclip, this is something that is a considerable length and can be measured in centimeters. Usually a paper clip measures around 3-4 centimeters.

3. Height of a standard ceiling, while constructing something we measure height or length or the width of a floor in feet.

4. Yearly increase in a child's height, that can be measured in centimeters but often we use inches.

5. Width of a swimming pool is also conventionally measured in feet.

So, it is the length of a paperclip and the yearly increase in a height of a child are two things that can be measured in centimeters.

Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses. (-2+2w+4w)(-7)
kotegsom [21]

The parentheses of the expression (-2+2w+4w)(-7) is removed using the distributive property and the resultant expression is -14-42w.

<h3>What is distributive property?</h3>

The distributive property says that the product of a number and sum of two numbers is equal to the addition of the product of that number with the individual number of the sum.

c×(a+b)=ac+ab

The given expression in the problem is,

(-2+2w+4w)(-7)

Now, use the distributive property to remove the parentheses as,

(-2+2w+4w)(-7)

-2×-7+2w×-7+4w×-7

-14-14w-28w

-14-42w

Hence, the parentheses of the expression (-2+2w+4w)(-7) is removed using the distributive property and the resultant expression is -14-42w.

A large washer has an outer radius of 10mm and a hole with a diameter of 14mm. What is the area of the top surface of the washer
choli [55]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The area of the top surface of the washer is:  160.14 square mm.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The top of the surface is in the shape of a annulus  with a outer radius of 10 mm and a inner radius of 7 mm ( since the diameter of the hole is: 14 mm and we know that the radius is half of the diameter)

Now, we know that the area of the annulus region is given by:

Area=\pi (R^2-r^2)

where R is the outer radius and r is the inner radius.

Here we have:

R=10\ mm\\\\and\\\\r=7\ mm

Hence, we have:

Area\ of\ top\ surface=\pi (10^2-7^2)\\\\i.e.\\\\Area\ of\ top\ surface=\pi (100-49)\\\\i.e.\\\\Area\ of\ top\ surface=\pi\cdot 51\\\\i.e.\\\\Area\ of\ top\ surface=160.14\ mm^2

The table shows the total number y (in billions) of U.S. movie admissions each year for x years. Use a graphing calculator to fi
wariber [46]

Answer:

By rounding up of the constant and coefficient terms, we have;

The line of best, fit is y = 1.23 + 3.46 × 10⁻²·x

Step-by-step explanation:

The table for the data on the number of movie admissions each year is presented as follows;

Year, x                                             {}                      Admission, y

0                                                      {}                         1.24

2                                                       {}                        1.26

4                                                      {}                         1.39

6                                                      {}                         1.47

8                                                      {}                         1.49

10                                                      {}                        1.57

Using a graphing calculator, we have that the line of best fit is given by the following equation;

y = 1.23047619048 + 3.45714285714 × 10⁻²·x

Which is approximately, y = 1.23 + 3.46 × 10⁻²·x

Let N be the universal set and A, B, C, D be its subsets given by A={x:xisaevennaturalnumber},B={x:xNandxisamultipleof3} C={x:x
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

A^{'} = {1,3,5,7,9,....}

B^{'} = {1,2,4,5,7,8,10,11,13,14......}

C^{'} = {1,2,3,4,5}

D^{'} = {10,11,12,13,14,15,......}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

It is given that, Universal set is the set of all Natural Numbers.

and

Set A, Set B, Set  C, Set D are subsets of Universal set.

A = {x:x is even natural numbers} = {2,4,6,8,10,.....}

B = {x:x ∈ N and x is a multiple of 3} = {3,6,9,12,15,....}

C = {x:x∈ N and x < 5} = {6,7,8,9,10,.....}

D = {x:x ∈ N and x > 10} = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

U = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,........}

Complements:

A^{'} = U-A = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,........} - {2,4,6,8,10,.....}

A^{'} = {1,3,5,7,9,....}

B^{'} = U-B =  {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,........} - {3,6,9,12,15,....}

B^{'} = {1,2,4,5,7,8,10,11,13,14......}

C^{'} = U-C = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,........} - {6,7,8,9,10,.....}

C^{'} = {1,2,3,4,5}

D^{'} = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,........} - {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

D^{'} = {10,11,12,13,14,15,......}
