Explanation:

Given:

The attached figure showing circle O, chord BC, central angle BOC and inscribed angle BAC
angle BAC = α + β

Prove:

angle BOC = 2×angle BAC

Proof:

∠BOA +∠BOC +∠AOC = 360° . . . . . sum of arcs of a circle is 360°

2α +∠BOA = 180°, 2β +∠AOC = 180° . . . . . sum of triangle angles is 180°

∠BOA = 180° -2α, ∠AOC = 180° -2β . . . . solve statement 2 for central angles

(180° -2α) +∠BOC +(180° -2β) = 360° . . . . . substitute into statement 1

∠BOC = 2(α +β) . . . . . add 2α+2β-360° to both sides

∠BOC = 2×∠BAC . . . . . substitute given for α+β; the desired conclusion

Lance decides to buy three sweatshirts and a pair of sweatpants. he has $100 in his wallet. if the price of the sweatpants is $

andre [41]

100 = 40 + 3x

Subtract 40 from each side

60 = 3x

Divide each side by 3

20 = x

The highest price of a sweatshirt can be $20

100 = 40 + 3(20)

Which is the simplified form of the expression ((2 Superscript negative 2 Baseline) (3 Superscript 4 Baseline)) Superscript nega

AlekseyPX

Answer:

The option "StartFraction 1 Over 3 Superscript 8" is correct

That is $\frac{1}{3^8}$ is correct answer

Therefore $[(2^{-2})(3^4)]^{-3}\times [(2^{-3})(3^2)]^2=\frac{1}{3^8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is ((2 Superscript negative 2 Baseline) (3 Superscript 4 Baseline)) Superscript negative 3 Baseline times ((2 Superscript negative 3 Baseline) (3 squared)) squared

The given expression can be written as

$[(2^{-2})(3^4)]^{-3}\times [(2^{-3})(3^2)]^2$

To find the simplified form of the given expression :

$[(2^{-2})(3^4)]^{-3}\times [(2^{-3})(3^2)]^2$

$=(2^{-2})^{-3}(3^4)^{-3}\times (2^{-3})^2(3^2)^2$ ( using the property $(ab)^m=a^m.b^m$ )

$=(2^6)(3^{-12})\times (2^{-6})(3^4)$ ( using the property $(a^m)^n=a^{mn}$

$=(2^6)(2^{-6})(3^{-12})(3^4)$ ( combining the like powers )

$=2^{6-6}3^{-12+4}$ ( using the property $a^m.a^n=a^{m+n}$ )

$=2^03^{-8}$

$=\frac{1}{3^8}$ ( using the property $a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}$ )

Therefore $[(2^{-2})(3^4)]^{-3}\times [(2^{-3})(3^2)]^2=\frac{1}{3^8}$

Therefore option "StartFraction 1 Over 3 Superscript 8" is correct

That is $\frac{1}{3^8}$ is correct answer

The volume of a cereal box is 156 in.

Bess [88]

Answer:

15.6 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the volume of the box is scaled down by a factor of 1/10, that means you just have to move the decimal over to the left by one place value, making the new volume 15.6 in because behind the 156 there's an invisible decimal in case you need it.
