Answer:

The area of the Iris is 4 times greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we have to realize that we cannot solve this problem without knowing the radius of the iris. because from the information given, the radius of the iris could well be the size of the galaxy and contract from width of 4mm to 2mm and we wouldn't know!

The average radius of the iris is 6mm, so we take this value.

Now, initially the width of the iris is 4mm, that means the radius of the pupil is:

6mm-4mm=2mm

Therefore it's area A is:

A=\pi r^2=\pi (2)^2=4\pi

When the iris contracts to 2mm, the radius of the pupil becomes:

6mm-2mm=4mm

Then it's area is A:

A=\pi r^2=\pi (4)^2=16\pi

To find how many times greater this final area is than the initial area, we just divide it by the initial area:

\frac{16\pi }{4\pi } =4

This is 4 times greater than the initial area.

Answer:

x = 20°

y = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle adjacent to the 40° angle must be 140° because the two angles form a straight line (which contains 180°)

in the isosceles triangle with the 'x', that means the other two angles must be equal and are (180-140) ÷ 2, which equals 20°

to find 'y', consider the larger right triangle with angles of 90° and 20°; angle y must equal 180 - (90 + 20) = 70°

Possible my last brainliest if its right question idk may be more but this one is harsh for me

Correct Solution: He read 1.5 pages per minute.


Error Analysis: You should’ve divided 3 by 2 not 300. There are 300 pages in the book total. This information is irrelevant to the question. Cole reads 3 pages in two minutes. So you divide 3 by to to find out how many pages he reads per minute. 3/2=1.5
