Answer:

He will have to cut off 1.25 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 5% of 5 inches

0.05(5)=0.25 inches

5 inches - 0.25 inches= 4.75 inches

4.75 inches is how wide the wood is after it shrinks.

Find how much he needs to cut off

4.75 inches - 3.5 inches=1.25 inches

He will need to cut off 1.25 inches in order for the block to fit exactly.

bonufazy [111]
The area formula is πr². Since, we are given the diameter we need to find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2.

radius = 20/2 = 10

Area = π(10)²
Area = 100π

The area of the pipe is 100π square units in term of pi.

Hope this helps :)

A basketball team took a total of 100 shots. One player took 70% of all 100 shots, and
NemiM [27]

The player took a total of 70 shots and missed about 28 shots.

<h3>Percentage</h3>

Percentage is used in expressing a fraction number or decimal in fraction of 100. It is expressed using the '%' sign.

Given a total shot of 100, since the player took 70% of the shot, hence:

Total shot taken by the player = 70% of 100 = 0.7 * 100 = 70 shots.

Total shot shot missed = (100% - 60%) of 70 = 40% of 70 = 0.4 * 70 = 28 shots.

The player took a total of 70 shots and missed about 28 shots.
