Answer:

180 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = total number of pages

Monday + Tuesday + Wednesday

2/15x + 1/3x + 2/9x

= (6x+15x+10x)/45

= 31/45x

Thursday

x - 31/45x

= (45x-31x)/45

= 14/45x

3/4 of 14/45x

= 3/4 * 14/45x

= 42/180x

Total pages read = 31/45x + 42/180x

= (124x+42x)/180

= 166/180x

If he still has 14 pages left to read on Friday

Total read from Monday to Thursday + Friday

x = 166/180x + 14

x - 166/180x = 14

(180x-166x)/180 = 14

14/180x = 14

x = 14 ÷ 14/180

x = 14 × 180/14

x = 180 pages

Given each of the following areas, what would be the radius of each circle? a. A = 530.66 m2 b. A = 907.46 sq. ft. c. A = 379.94

ra1l [238]

Area for a circle is $A= \pi r^2$ . We will fill in each area and then solve for the radius. $530.66m^2= \pi r^2$ and $\frac{530.66m^2}{3.14}=r^2$ . ∴ $169=r^2$ and r = 13. For b, $907.46ft^2= \pi r^2$ and $\frac{907.46ft^2}{3.14}=r^2$ . $289=r^2$ , ∴ r = 17. For c, $379.94mi^2= \pi r^2$ , and $\frac{379.94mi^2}{3.14}=r^2$ . ∴, $121=r^2$ and r = 11. For d, $1962.5cm^2= \pi r^2$ , and $\frac{1962.5cm^2}{3.14}=r^2$ . ∴, $625=r^2$ so r = 25. And there you have it!

What is the answer please?

Answer: D (bottom option)

Not Congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the trapezoids are to scale, they are not the same shape. This means that they could not be congruent even if they were centered on top of each other.

The sum of two numbers is 9.9, and the sum of the squares of the numbers is 53.21. What are the numbers?

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

There are two possibilities:

$x_{1} = 3.5$ and $y_{1} = 6.4$

$x_{2} = 6.4$ and $y_{2} = 3.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically speaking, the statement is equivalent to this 2-variable non-linear system:

$x + y = 9.9$

$x^{2} + y^{2} = 53.21$

First, $x$ is cleared in the first equation:

$x = 9.9 - y$

Now, the variable is substituted in the second one:

$(9.9-y)^{2} + y^{2} = 53.21$

And some algebra is done in order to simplify the expression:

$98.01-19.8\cdot y +2\cdot y^{2} = 53.21$

$2\cdot y^{2} -19.8\cdot y +44.8 = 0$

Roots are found by means of the General Equation for Second-Order Polynomials:

$y_{1} \approx \frac{32}{5}$ and $y_{2} \approx \frac{7}{2}$

There are two different values for $x$ :

$y = y_{1}$

$x_{1} = 9.9-6.4$

$x_{1} = 3.5$

$y = y_{2}$

$x_{2} = 9.9 - 3.5$

$x_{2} = 6.4$

There are two possibilities:

$x_{1} = 3.5$ and $y_{1} = 6.4$

$x_{2} = 6.4$ and $y_{2} = 3.5$
