Answer:

42.95 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the distance around the dance hall that is the greatest.

Now, to answer this, we must have at the back of our mind that the dance hall is circular in shape. Thus, the greatest distance that could arise is the distance from one edge of the dance hall to the other end of the dance passing exactly through the center of the dance hall.

This distance described above is the diameter of the dance hall.

Notice we were given a length in the question? This length refers to the circumference around the circular dance hall.

Reframing then question, we were just told to calculate the diameter of a circle given the circumference of the circle.

Mathematically, circumference C of a circle = 2 * pi * r

Recall, mathematically also 2r = D

so we can say C = pi * D

Using the value of 22/7 for pi and the value of the circumference in the question, we have;

135 = 22/7 * D

D = (7 * 135)/22

D = 42.95 feet

Answer: 43feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter= 135 feet

Since perimeter= 2πr

135 = 2πr

Recall that π = 3.14

135 = 2 × 3.14 × r

135 = 6.28 × r

135 = 6.28r

r = 135/6.28

r = 21.5

d = 2r

d = 2 × 21.5

d = 43 feet

How many times greater is the digit in the tenths place than in the hundredths place?

zhannawk [14.2K]

That depends on what the digits are. It could be anywhere between zero times and infinite times. If both are the same digit and not zero, then the tenth is ten times the size of the hundredth.

Charlotte drives 64 mph for the first 3 hours of her trip and 92 mph for last 4 hours.

german

Answer:

80 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

$\boxed{\sf Distance=Speed \times Time}$

First leg of trip

Speed = 64 mph
Time = 3 hours

$\implies \sf Distance =64\times 3 = 192\:miles$

Second leg of trip

Speed = 92 mph
Time = 4 hours

$\implies \sf Distance=92 \times 4 = 368\:miles$

$\boxed{\sf Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}}$

To find the average speed:

$\begin{aligned}\implies \sf Average\:speed & = \sf \dfrac{Total\:distance}{Total\:time}\\\\ & = \sf \dfrac{192+368}{3+4}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{560}{7}\\\\ & = \sf 80\:mph\end{aligned}$

Suppose a triangle has sides a, b, and c, and let theta be opposite the side of length a. If cos theta < 0, what must be true

katrin2010 [14]

If $\cos \theta\ \textless \ 0$ , then angle $\theta$ is obtuse and triangle with sides a, b, c is obtuse triangle.
In an arbitrary triangle can be only one obtuse angle, and the side which lies opposite to the largest angle is the largest. Then since angle $\theta$ is opposite the side of length a you can conclude that a>c and a>b.

$0.30 per ounce, how much would 2 lb cost?

natali 33 [55]

Well 16 ounces equals a pound. So 16+16=32 ounces.
So 32 ounces times $0.30 equals 9.6.
So 2 lbs should cost $9.6.
Hope this helps.
