Answer:

The specific gravity of kerosene is 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the weight in grams of a cubic centimeter of Kerosene

y ----> the weight in grams of a cubic centimeter of water

z ---> the specific gravity of a substance

so

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$x=0.82\ g\\y=1\ g$

substitute the values

$z=\frac{0.82}{1}=0.82$

Answer:

0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of its weight to the weight of an equal volume of water. Kerosene weighs 0.82 gram per cubic centimeter and water weighs 1 gram per cubic centimeter. Therefore, the specific gravity of kerosene is 0.82.

9. The ticket at right has a perimeter of 42 cm.

Liula [17]

Perimeter simply represents the sum of all side lengths of a shape. The length of the missing side of the ticket is 5 cm; the length of gold line on each ticket is 20 cm, and 2 bottles of gold ink are required to draw gold lines on 200 tickets.

I've added the image of the ticket as an attachment.

(a) The missing side length

From the attachment, the 4 unknown side lengths are equal. Represent this side length with L.

So, we have:

$Perimeter =2\times 11 + 4 \times L$

This gives

$2\times11 + 4 \times L = 42$

$22 + 4 \times L = 42$

Collect like terms

$4 \times L = 42-22$

$4 \times L = 20$

Divide both sides by 4

$L =5cm$

(b) The length of the gold lines

There are 4 slant lines and the length of one of the slant lines is 5 cm (as calculated above).

So, the length of the gold line is:

$Gold = 4 \times L$

$Gold = 4 \times 5cm$

$Gold = 20cm$

(c) The number of gold ink bottles.

$n = 200$ --- number of tickets

The length of all gold line in the 200 tickets is:

$Length = 200 \times Gold$

$Length = 200 \times 20cm$

$Length = 4000 cm$

$Length = 4000 \times 0.01m$ ---- convert to meters

$Length = 40m$

Given that:

$Bottle = 20m$ --- 1 bottle for 20 m

The number of bottles (n) is:

$n = \frac{Length}{Bottles}$

$n = \frac{40m}{20m}$

$n = 2$

Hence, 2 bottles of gold ink are enough.

How do you find the width of a rectangle when the perimeter is given?

ololo11 [35]

Usually you are given more information about the rectangle such as distance of length in terms of width.

You know that the formula for perimeter is

P=2(l+w)

Substitute p and the other values to find width.

Hope I helped :)

In the figure shown to the right, two angle measurements are given. Determine the others.

creativ13 [48]

The figure is shown below

From the figure

Angle 150 degree and angle p forms angles on a straight

Since the sum of angles on a straight line equals 180 degrees

Hence

$150^{\circ}+p=180^{\circ}$

Solve for p in the equation

$\begin{gathered} p=180^{\circ}-150^{\circ} \\ p=30^{\circ} \end{gathered}$

Hence, p = 30

From the figure

Angle p and angle q are vertically opposite angles

Since vertically opposite angles are equal then

$p=q=30^{\circ}$

Hence, q = 30

Applying the rule of angles on a straight line

This implies

$q+w+60=180$

Substitute q = 30 into the equation

$30+w+60=180$

Solve for w

$\begin{gathered} w+90=180 \\ w=180-90 \\ w=90 \end{gathered}$

Hence, w = 90
