Answer:

Henry is short of gravel

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to identify which of the ingredients Henry is short of.

To identify this ingredient, what is needed to be done is to share the 180kg of concrete appropriately to get which of the material does not meet its ratio and thus allowing us know which is insufficient.

The total ratio is 1 + 4 + 7 = 12

For cement, we have ;

1/12 * 180 = 15 kg

For sand, we have

4/12 * 180 = 60kg

For gravel, we have

7/12 * 180 = 105 kg

From the values in the question, we can see that all the values we have are greater what is shared in the ratio except in the case of gravel. So we can confidently say he is short of gravel

The endpoints of the longest chord on a circle are (4, 5.5) and (4, 10.5).
In-s [12.5K]
The longest chord on the circle is the diameter, and the center of the circle is the midpoint of the diameter.

Use the midpoint formula to find the center
((x1 +x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2).. Just substitute them for the solution


the x-coordinates are the same, so you can just subtract the y-coordinates to find the radius. 
10.5 - 8 = 2.5

The equation of the circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² where r is the radius and (h, k) is the center.

(x - 4)² + (y - 8)² = 6.25

An angle measures 80.2° less than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

9.8 degree + 80.2 degree

As both need to add up to 90 degree to be complementary.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angle means adds up to 90 degree.

Therefore- 90-80.2 = 9.8 degree
