My late response (haha): First, you would write a proportion.

Step 1: 2496 over 48 = x over 31
(x represents the area of the land that is not fenced).

Step 2: Cross multiply
2496 times 31 and x times 48

Step 3: Calculate
77376 = 48x

Step 4: Divide both sides by 48
77376/48 = 1612
48x/48 = x

Step 5: Write it as a sentence 
The area of the land that is not fenced is 1612 squared meters. 

Hope that helped! Good luck! :]

Answer:

\frac{7}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

you first need to change the mixed number to an improper fraction

\frac{13}{8}-\frac{3}{4}

then multiply the second fraction by 2 so that the denominator is the same in both fractions

\frac{13}{8} -\frac{6}{8}

\frac{7}{8}

Could you please answer Number 2? This is for geometry
katrin [286]
Answer: 108 degrees

============================================================

Explanation:

Angle ABC is given to be 90 degrees. By the converse of Thales Theorem, we know that AC is a diameter of the circle. 
If we draw a line from A to C, it will pass through the center of the circle.

Therefore, arc AC is 180 degrees as this is half the distance around the circle.

minor arc AD = 72
minor arc CD = x
(minor arc AD) + (minor arc CD) = arc AC
72+x = 180
72+x-72 = 180-72
x = 108

minor arc CD is 108 degrees

Answer:

The 315 hours is the value of a: statistic

Step-by-step explanation:

A random sample of 650 power cells is tested and the average lifetime of this sample is found to be 315 hours.

The 315 hours is the value of a: statistic

A statistic is defined as a characteristic of a sample. It is used to estimate the value of a population parameter.

Just like here where a random sample of 650 power cells were taken for a test. And 315 hours is an example of a statistic.
