The first piece is 9 feet and the second piece is 21 feet. Explanation:

We know that a 30 foot board is cut into two pieces and that the second piece is three feet longer than twice the first piece.

Let the first piece = x

Let the second piece = 2x + 3

x + 2x + 3 = 30

Combine like terms

3x + 3 = 30

Subtract 3 from both sides

3x = 27

Divide 3 from both sides and we get:

x = 9

The first piece is 9 feet and now we need to find the second piece.

We can use the first piece to find the second piece.

Substitute 9 for x:

2(9) + 3

18 + 3 = 21

So the second piece is 21 feet.

21 + 9 = 30 feet

An airplane flies 750 miles due west in 1 1! 2hours and 750 miles due south in 2 hours. what is the average speed of the airplan
LiRa [457]
Use the Pyth. Theorem to calculate the total distance flown by the plane in 3 1/2 hours:

d = sqrt(750^2 + 750^2) = 750sqrt(2) miles

Now divide this distance by the total time (3 1/2 hours):

750sqrt(2) miles
---------------------- = 303 miles per hour average

What is the approximate area of the shaded sector in the circle shown below?
Anton [14]

Answer:

The approximate area is A) 5.09cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Circle = πr²

r = 1.8

Plug in our values

π(1.8cm²)

Evaluate the area of the entire circle

a = π(1.8cm²)

a = π(3.24cm)

a = 10.179cm²

Area of a sector, with the area of the circle of the sector being a = theta/360 * a

Evaluate the area of the sector

180/360*10.719cm²

0.5 * 10.179cm²

5.0895cm²

Round the value up

5.09cm²

Option C: -3 is the average rate of change between x=-1 and x=1

Explanation:

The formula to determine the average rate of change is given by

Average rate of change = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We need to find the average rate of change between x=-1 and x=1

Thus, from the table, we have,

x_1=-1 , y_1=5

x_2=1 , y_2=-1

Thus, substituting these values in the formula, we get,

Average rate of change = \frac{-1-5}{1+1}

                                        =\frac{-6}{2}

                                        =-3

Thus, the average rate of change between x=-1 and x=1 is -3.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
