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

Harmonic mean if a number h such that (h-a)/(b-h)=a/b Prove h is H(a,b) iff satisfies either relation a. (1/a)-(1/h) = (1/h) - (

Fudgin [204]

A.

$\displaystyle\frac1a-\frac1h=\frac1h-\frac1b$
$\implies\displaystyle\frac{h-a}{ah}=\frac{b-h}{bh}$
$\implies\displaystyle\frac{h-a}{b-h}=\frac{ah}{bh}$
$\implies\displaystyle\frac{h-a}{b-h}=\frac ab$

b.

$\displaystyle h=\frac{2ab}{a+b}$
$\displaystyle\implies\frac{h-a}{b-h}=\frac{\frac{2ab}{a+b}-a}{b-\frac{2ab}{a+b}}$
$\displaystyle\implies\frac{h-a}{b-h}=\frac{2ab-a(a+b)}{b(a+b)-2ab}$
$\displaystyle\implies\frac{h-a}{b-h}=\frac{ab-a^2}{b^2-ab}$
$\displaystyle\implies\frac{h-a}{b-h}=\frac{a(b-a)}{b(b-a)}$
$\displaystyle\implies\frac{h-a}{b-h}=\frac ab$

The other direction can be proved by following the manipulations in the reverse order.

Plz help ASAP :))))

Answer:

It would be A:likely

Step-by-step explanation:

let's take rounding decimals for example; when you 5.86 and you were rounding to the nearest tenth it would be 5.9. That is because the 6 is greater than 5, so for the weather the highest the percentage it can be is 100% and 50% is half and since it is more than half then it would be more likely.

3x +6= 27<br> x =<br> how do you solve this.

Serjik [45]

3x + 6 = 27

step 1. subtract 6 from both sides

3x = 21

step 2. divide both sides by three to get x alone

x = 7

hope this helps
