Answer:

24 and 38

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assign the variables x and y to the two numbers we can set up two equations,

x+y = 62

x = y + 14

Substituting the second equation into the first,

(y+14)+y = 62

2y + 14 = 62

subtract 14 on both sides

2y = 48

divideboth sides by 2

y = 24

If y = 24, then x = 38 because x is 14 more than y.

For a circle with a diameter of 6 meters, what is the measurement of a central angle (in degrees) subtended by an arc with a len

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

$\boxed{\boxed{\theta=150^{\circ}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

$\text{Arc length}=r\cdot \theta$

where,

r = radius,

θ = central angle in radian.

Given,

diameter = 6 m, so radius = 3 m.

$\text{Arc length}=\dfrac{5}{2}\pi$

Putting the values,

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{2}\pi=3\theta$

$\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{5}{2\times 3}\pi$

$\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{5}{6}\pi=\dfrac{5}{6}\times 180^{\circ}=150^{\circ}$

Select all that apply. Which of the following are proportions? 25/10=5/2,3/4=8/10,2/8=3/12,3/4=15/20

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

$\frac{25}{10} = \frac{5}{2}$ is in proportion.

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{10}$ is not in proportion.

$\frac{2}{8} = \frac{3}{12}$ is in proportion.

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{20}$ is in proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first example is $\frac{25}{10} = \frac{5}{2}$ and it is in proportion.

This is because, you will get the same simplest fraction ( $\frac{5}{2}$ ) from the fraction $\frac{25}{10}$ by dividing its numerator and denominator by 5.

The second example is $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{10}$ and it is not in proportion.

This is because, you can not get the simplest fraction ( $\frac{3}{4}$ ) from the fraction $\frac{8}{10}$ after simplification.

The third example is $\frac{2}{8} = \frac{3}{12}$ and it is in proportion.

This is because, you will get the same simplest fraction ( $\frac{1}{4}$ ) from the fraction $\frac{2}{8}$ by dividing its numerator and denominator by 2 and from the fraction $\frac{3}{12}$ by dividing its numerator and denominator by 3.

The fourth example is $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{20}$ and it is in proportion.

This is because, you will get the same simplest fraction ( $\frac{3}{4}$ ) from the fraction $\frac{15}{20}$ by dividing its numerator and denominator by 5. (Answer)
