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

Find the missing coefficient (4d—4)(3d—2)=12d^2+ []d+8
sergij07 [2.7K]
<span>(4d-4)(3d-2)=12d^2 + []d + 8

Using FOIL method:
4d x 3d = 12d^2
4d x  -2 = -8d
-4 x 3d = -12d
-4 x -2 = 8

Adding common terms, we have:
-8d + -12d = -20 d

The missing coefficient is -20.</span>

Galina-37 [17]

Answer: it will take 6 months for both gyms to cost the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the number of months that it will take for the cost of both gyms be the same.

At one gym, there is a $12 start-up fee, and after that each month, m, at the gym costs $20. This means that the total cost for m months is

12 + 20m

At another gym, each month at the gym costs $22. This means that the total cost for m months is 22m

For both costs to be the same, the number of months would be

12 + 20m = 22m

22m - 20m = 12

2m = 12

m = 12/2 = 6
