You have a cake that is 10 inches in diameter. You expect 12 people to share it, so you cut it into 12 equal slices. Before you

get a chance to serve the cake, 12 more people arrive! So, you decide to cut a concentric circle in the cake so that you will have 24 pieces. How far from the center of the cake should the circle cut be made so that all 24 people get the same amount of cake?

Answer:

3.5355 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area should be same the concentric circle and rest piece .

let's consider the radius of concentric circle as r

so it's area is π r²

area of whole circle is π (5)" ( because diameter is 10 inches)

so the area of rest piece is π (5)² - π r²

π (5)² - π r² = π r²

5² = 2r²

r² = 25/2

r = √(25/2)

r = 3.5355 inches

The length of a rectangle in centimeters is two more than thrice its width. a) Write an expression, in the simplest form, for th
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Perimeter of the rectangle = 8 x +4

Length of the rectangle = 12 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle as 'x' units.

So, length of the rectangle is 2 more than 3 x.

We can set up expression for length as 3 x+2.

Now, perimeter is sum of all side lengths of the rectangle.

So, perimeter = x+x+3 x+2 +3 x+2

Combine like terms,

Perimeter = 8 x+4

Now, it is given perimeter is 36cm

So,

8 x+4=36

Subtract both sides 4

8 x=32

Divide both sides by 8

x=4

So, width of the rectangle =4

Length =3(4) +2=14

he point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through points (8, 4) and (0, 2) is y – 4 = (x – 8). What is the slope
fgiga [73]

You have y-4 = (x-8)

Add 4 to each side:

Y = (x-8) +4

Remove the parenthesis and combine like terms to get:

y = x-4

Write the following in correct mathematical language: 45.23
dexar [7]

Forty-five and twenty-three hundredths.

In general, with decimals, the first place value after the decimal is read as a tenth, the second is read as a hundredth, the third is read as a thousandth, and so on. In front of the decimal, we know that 4 is in the tens place and 5 is in the ones place, so we say forty-five. Past the decimal, 2 is in the tenths place (think about how 2/10 = .2, which is "two-tenths") and 3 is in the hundredths place (think about how 23/100 = .23). You read the number after the decimal like normal ("twenty-three," "two-hundred fifteen," etc), then you add the place ("tenths, hundredths, ten-thousands") at the very end.

DENIUS [597]
Let BS be the event that the patient survives bypass surgery. Let H be the event that the heart damage will heal. Then P(BS) = 0.60, and also we have a conditional probability: GIVEN that the patient survives, the probability that the heart damage will heal is 0.5, that is P(H|BS) = 0.5 We want to know P(BS and H). Using the formula of the conditional probability: P(H and BS) = P(H|BS)·P(BS) = (0.6)(0.5) = 0.3
