Answer: It will one year (or 12 months) before Michael is able to ride the roller coaster.
Step-by-step explanation: Because he grows a half inch every month, this means that It takes him two months to grow one full inch. Because he has to grow six inches, you just multiply 2 by 6 to get 12 months or one year.
Answer: See below
Explanation:
Write an equation for nth term:
a + d(n - 1)
a = 8 (first term)
d = -6 (common difference)
8 - 6(n - 1)
= 8 - 6n + 6
= -6n + 14
Find a 50:
-6(50) + 14
= -300 + 14
= -286
Answer: The central angle of the arc is 162 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation: The information available are as follows;
Circumference of the circle equals 10. Length of an arc equals 9/2. The circumference of a circle is given as;
Circumference = 2Pi x r
That means 2Pi x r = 10.
Also the length of an arc along the same circle is 9/2. Length of an arc is calculated as;
Length of arc = (X/360) x 2Pi x r
Where X is the central angle of the arc
That means;
9/2 = (X/360) x 2Pi x r
We can now substitute for the known values as follows
Length of an arc = (X/360) x 2Pi x r
9/2 = (X/360) x 10
9/2 = 10X/360
By cross multiplication we now have
(9 x 360)/(2 x 10) = X
3240/20 = X
162 = X
The angle at the center of the arc is 162 degrees.
