Answer:

7.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of sand to cement = 24kg : 5kg

Today he needs to make the same type of mortar mix, but he will use 36kg of sand.

Let

x = quantity of cement used

Ratio of sand to cement = 36 kg : x kg

Equate both ratios

24 kg : 5 kg = 36 kg : x kg

24/5 = 36/x

Cross product

24 * x = 5 * 36

24x = 180

x = 180/24

x = 7.5

x = quantity of cement used = 7.5 kg

In ΔXYZ, ∠Y is a right angle and sin X = 12/25 Find sec X, tan X, and cos Z in fraction and in decimal form. Round to the neares
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

<u>In ΔXYZ</u>

  • ∠Y is a right angle
  • ∠X and ∠Z are complementary angles
  • sin X = 12/25

-------------

  • sec X = 1/cos X =  1/\sqrt{1- sin^2X}  = 1/\sqrt{1 - 12^2/25^2} = 1/\sqrt{481}/25 = 25/\sqrt{481}
  • tan X = sin X / cos X = 12/{25 :  {\sqrt{481} }/25 = 12/{\sqrt{481} }
  • cos Z = sin X = 12/25

notice that for the perimeter we didn't include the segment BC, because the perimeter of a figure is simply the outer borders.

Solve Each Equation<br><br> 5. -8(5+4x)=-232<br><br> 6. -84=4(4r+7)
Sever21 [200]

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>5.</h2>

- 8(5 + 4x) =  - 232

- 40 - 32x =  - 232 \\  - 32x =  - 232 + 40 \\  - 32x =  - 192 \\  \frac{ - 32x}{ - 32}  =  \frac{ - 192}{ - 32}  \\  \\ \huge x = 6

<h2>6.</h2>

- 84 =  4(4r + 7) \\  - 84  =  16r + 28 \\ 16r =  - 84 - 28 \\ 16r =  - 112 \\  \frac{16r}{16}  =  -  \frac{112}{16}  \\  \\  \huge r = 7

Hope this helps you

Find the area of sector JKL. Enter your answer in terms of a fraction of π and rounded to the nearest hundredth.
Anna007 [38]

<u>Given</u>:

The radius of the circle is 4 cm.

The angle of the sector JKL is 135°

We need to determine the area of the sector JKL

<u>Area of the sector:</u>

The area of the sector can be determined using the formula,

A=\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^{2}

Substituting \theta=135^{\circ} , r=4, we get;

A=\frac{135^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times (3.14) (4)^{2}

A=\frac{3}{8} \times (3.14) (16)

A=\frac{150.72}{8}

A=18.84 \ cm^2

Thus, the area of the sector is 18.84 cm²
