Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

Hello!

3x/4 + 6=42

3x/4=42-6 = 36

3x = 36*4

3x = 144

x= 144/3 =48

3/4 of 48 = (48*3) / 4 =36

36+6=42

the original number is 48

Find the area of the unshaded region for these two problems

Grace [21]

1. Area of the right angled ∆ = 1/2 × base × height

height = 16m

base = √20² – 16²

= √400 –256

= √144

= 12 m

Area of the unshaded portion

= 1/2 × base × height

= 1/2 × 12 × 16

= 96m²

2. Area of the rectangle = 300ft × 150ft

= 45000sq. ft

Area of the shaded portion = 100² + (1/2×b×h)

= 10000 + (1/2×120×150)

= 10000 + 9000

= 19000 sq. ft

Area of the unshaded part of the rectangle

= (45000 – 19000)sq. ft

= 26000 sq. ft

Rearrange the formula A = <br> Θr2<br> 2<br> for Θ.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

$\theta=\frac{2A}{r^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The formula $A=\frac{\theta r^2}{2}$

We have to rearrange the given formula for $\theta$

Consider the given formula $A=\frac{\theta r^2}{2}$

Multiply both side by 2, we have,

$2A={\theta r^2$

Divide both side by $r^2$ , we have,

$\frac{2A}{r^2}= \frac{\theta r^2}{r^2}$

Simplify, we get,

$\frac{2A}{r^2}=\theta$

Thus, $\theta=\frac{2A}{r^2}$

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (7, -4) and (7, 0)? Write your answer in the simplest form.

olga55 [171]

Answer:

The slop is undefined

i.e. $m=\infty$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the slope formula

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

As the points are (7, -4) and (7, 0)

Here:

(x₁, y₁) = (7, -4)

(x₂, y₂) = (7, 0)

$\mathrm{When\:}y_1\ne \:y_2\mathrm{\:and\:}\:x_1=x_2\mathrm{\:the\:slope\:is\:}\infty$

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$=\frac{\left(0-\left(-4\right)\right)}{\left(7-7\right)}$

$=\frac{0-\left(-4\right)}{0}$

$=\infty$

Therefore, the slop is undefined i.e. $m=\infty$
