A clock is showing the time as exactly 3:00 p.m. and 25 s. Because a full minute has not passed since 3:00, the hour hand is poi

nting directly at the 12. If the tip of the second hand is directly below the tip of the hour hand, and if the length of the second hand is 9 cm, what is the length of the hour hand?

I had to read this a couple of times to see this was not about time, but is a right triangle problem. If the hour hand is at three, let us consider that a leg of a right triangle, we will consider the hypotenuse as the second hand.
Sketch the picture. 

The hypotenuse is 9 cm. the angle is found by: 

the (hour hand) is pointing directly at the 12. I expect you mean the minute hand. The angle between the minute hand and the second hand is 25/60*360 = 150 which make the angle between the hour hand and the second hand. 150 -90 =60 

so the second hand and the hour hand gives us a right triangle, with a 60 degree angle and a hyp. of 9 cm. 

cos 60 = x/9 

9 cos 60 =x

x = 4.5 cm

To answer question 12, you first need to know the definition of a <em>prism</em> and a<em> pyramid.

</em>A <em>pyramid </em> is a 3-D structure with one base, whose outer faces are made of triangles, and meet at a single point at the top.

A <em>prism</em> is any 3-D shape with a base of any number of sides, another base with the same amount of sides, and faces joining the two together on every side of the bases.

12.
Shape A is a <em>pyramid</em>, because it has one base, and all the faces join together in at one point.

Shape B is a <em>prism</em>, because it has two bases, and faces joining every side of the bases.

Shape C is a <em>prism.</em>

Shape D is a <em>pyramid.

</em>For #13, you have to know the definition of a cube to figure out the math of how many cubes there are.

A cube is a 3-D shape with six sides, all made up of squares of the same size.

The box has a volume of 120 cubic inches, and each cube is 1 inch. Since every side of a cube is equal, a 1-inch cube is one cubic inch.

This means that a box with a volume of 120 cubic inches will fit 120 of the 1 inch cubes.

1 layer of the cubes, in the diagram, is 8 cubes by 3 cubes, or 24 cubes total.

To find the number of layers needed to fill the box, you divide 120 by 24.

120 ÷ 24 = 5

The answer to #13 is 5 layers.

A general formula for a parabola is x2 = 4py. What is the value of p in the equation x2 = 12y? p =
stepladder [879]

Answer:

p=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parabola has equation ;

x^2=12y

The general formula for a parabola is;

x^2=4py

To find the value of p, we need to compare the coefficient of y in both equations;

\implies 4p=12

Divide both sides by 4;

\implies p=\frac{12}{4}

\implies p=3

What does initial value mean?<br><br> (The topic matter is linear functions)
vagabundo [1.1K]
Initial value can mean many things, but what I believe it means in this area is the value that you start with (obviously), so in the equation (y=mx+b), the initial value is the b. It is where the line intercepts the y-axis, and that is your initial value, I believe!
I hope this was helpful and answered your inquiry! If you have any further doubts or questions, please let me know so that I can help you!
