Explanation:

All of the points must be contained within a circle that will circumscribe an equilateral triangle of area 1. (We refer to this as the inscribed triangle.) Any points on the circle that do not form an equilateral triangle will form a triangle with an area less than 1. Likewise for any points within the circle.

The circle can be circumscribed by an equilateral triangle whose side length is double that of the inscribed triangle. Since the side length is double, the circumscribing triangle will have an area 2² = 4 times that of the inscribed triangle.

The inscribed triangle has an area of 1, so the circumscribing triangle must have an area of 4.

What is m∠G to the nearest tenth? A right angle triangle EFG. The length of EF is 28.2 and GF is 45.8. Angle GFE is given as 90
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

31.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle given us a right angled Triangle

We solve the above question using the trigonometric function of Tangent

The formula is given as:

tan θ = opp/adj

θ = m∠G = ?

Opposite = EF is 28.2

Adjacent = GF is 45.8

tan θ = 28.2/45.8

θ = arc tan (28.2/45.8)

θ = 31.621459805°

Approximately

m∠G = 31.6°

Use synthetic division to find the expression for the area of the base of a rectangular prism with height x 4 and volume x3 2x2
IRINA_888 [86]

The expression for the area of the base of Prism is   x2 – 2x – 9

The volume of a rectangular prism is this

Volume = Area x Height

Substituting the given expressions

x3 + 2x2 - 17x - 36 = Area x (x + 4)

Area = (x3 + 2x2 - 17x - 36) / (x + 4)

Now, let's use synthetic division

-4 |    1    2    -17   -36

----    __-4___8___36

        1    -2     -9     0

The expression for the area is

Area = x2 - 2x - 9

A bag has 6695 blue marbles and 6696 red marbles. We repeatedly remove 2 marbles from the bag. If the two chosen marbles are of
Rasek [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  blue

Step-by-step explanation:

If two red marbles are removed, 1 red is returned. The number of reds is reduced by 1, and the number of blues is unchanged.

If two blue marbles are removed, 1 red is returned. The number of reds is increased by 1, and the number of blues is decreased by 2.

If one of each is removed, one blue is returned. The number of reds is reduced by 1, and the number of blues is unchanged.

So, at each step, the number of blue marbles is unchanged or reduced by 2. That is, it only changes by an even number. The number of blues is initially odd, so can never reach zero.

The last marble in the bag is blue.
