Answer:

calculus, geometry, arithmetic among a few

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematics is involved in winter Olympics in different aspects like arithmetic which helps in scores, measurements, quantities and motion  of the sport  like hockey, running.

Scoring in ice skating involves arithmetic operation when an individual element is assigned points and  judged on performance level( triple axle is 3 points but overall performance and artistry is measured by the judges).  

Another is Calculus  which helps to understand the change in acceleration and velocities while each skaters start at zero then win, Lines in Geometry such as the finish/start/sight lines helps players with angles of reflection, measuring angles and angles of incidence.

A plane intersects a prism to form a cross section that is a polygon with five sides. The minimum number of sides that the polyg
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Since the plane if cutting through the prism to make 5 sides, than the original shape needs to have less than 5.

A prism, is a 3D shape, so you can't have a 2 sided shape.

Now you have a choice of 3+or 4 sides.

A 3 sides shape is a triangle, which also can't be cut into a 5 sided prism, so the answer would need to be 4.

16x² +8-7x-3x2 - 13x
liq [111]

Answer:

13x^{2}-20x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: rearrange the equation

16x^2 - 3x^2 - 7x - 13x +8

Step 2: solve the equation

16x^2 - 3x^2 = 13x^2

-7x - 13x = -20x

(the +8 will stay the same)

so when we put it all together it gives us

13x^2 - 20x + 8

Pythagorean theorem to determine if a triangle with sides 2 ft,5ft,4ft is a right triangle
Delvig [45]
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

2^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

4 + 16 = 25

20 = 25

Since 20 = 25 is clearly a false statement, the three side lengths 2 ft, 4 ft, and 5 ft do not form a right triangle.
