Answer:

70 cans of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that:

1 box holds = 14 cans of paint

5 boxes =

Cross Multiplying

5 boxes will hold = 5 × 14

= 70 cans of paint

This question, requires that we use Distributive property

Distributive property states that: when 2 factors or numbers are multiplied together the result will be the same as splitting on of the numbers(factors) into two distinct numbers, multiplying both number by the other factor, and adding together both products.

Applying the definition above to solve the question, we would be splitting the number of boxes which is 5 into 2 distinct number = 2 and 3

As , 2 + 3 = 5

Hence, we have:

14 × 5 = 14( 2 + 3)

70 = 28 + 42

70 cans of paint = 70 cans of paint.

The numbers of cans of paint that are in the art supply closet is 70 cans of paint

Circle A has a radius of 9.0 cm. The shortest distance between B and C on the circle is 8.5 cm. What is the approximate area of
love history [14]

Answer:

38.25 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the formula for the length of an arc to find the central angle of the sector of the circle.

Then we use the formula for the area of a sector of a circle to find the area.

Length of arc of circle of radius r:

s = \dfrac{n}{360^\circ}2 \pi r

s = arc length

n = measure of the central angle of the sector

s = \dfrac{n}{360^\circ}2 \pi r

8.5~cm = \dfrac{n}{360^\circ}2 \pi \times 9.0~cm

n = 54.1^\circ

Area of sector of circle of radius r:

A = \dfrac{n}{360^\circ} \pi r^2

A = area of sector of circle

n = measure of the central angle of the sector

A = \dfrac{54.1^\circ}{360^\circ} \pi (9.0~cm)^2

A= 38.25~cm^2

Which of the following equations describe the line shown below? 
frez [133]
Here, Slope (m) = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
m = 10 - 2 / 1 - (-3)
m = 8 / 4
m = 2

y - 10 = 2 (x - 1)
Also, y - 2 = 2(x + 3)

In short, Your Answers would be A & B

Hope this helps!

Builders are covering a wall that is 4 meters tall and 7 meters wide with bricks. They will cover the entire wall except for a s
marin [14]

Answer:

24 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two areas to consider here:  first, the area of the wall, and second, the area of the window.  We answer this question by finding these two areas and subtracting the area of the window from the area of the wall.

Wall area:  (4 m)(7 m) = 28 m^2

Window area:  (2 m)(2 m) = 4 m^2

Net area of wall, to be covered in brick:

28 m^2 - 4 m^2 = 24 m^2
