Walter is mixing cement for his new patio . He knows he need to use a water-to-cement ratio of 20 to 30 . What percent of his to

kherson [118]

If his water to cement ratio is 20 to 30, this means that if he uses 20 liters of water, he'd use 30 liters of cement.

The total mixture would then be 20+30=50 liters.

and the water would be 20/50=0.4 or 40% of the total mixture.

i made a clay snake 9 5/8 inches long, but a section 1 7/8 inches long broke off. how longis the snake now?

Fofino [41]

The answer is 7 3/4.
Turn into improper fraction
= 77/8 − 15/8

= ((77 × 8) − (15 × 8)) / (8 × 8)

= (616 - 120) / 64

= 496/64

= 31/4

The Pythagorean theorem tells you

... a² + b² = c²

... a² = c² - b² = 16² - 9² = 256-81 = 175

... a = √175 = √(25·7)

... a = 5√7

Answer:

Answer is option b)

${(x - 3)}^{2} + {(y - 4)}^{2} = 400$

Your guess was right.

Step-by-step explanation:

$the \: question \: states \: that \: \\ distance \: between \: two \: points \: is \: 20 \: units \: \\ and \: the \: two \: points \: are \: (x,y) \: \: and \: \: (3 ,- 4) \\ distance \: formula \\ = \sqrt{ {(x1 - x2) }^{2} + {(y1 - y2)}^{2} } \\ on \: substituting \: the \: values \: in \: formula \\ 20 = \sqrt{ {(x - 3)}^{2} + {(y - ( - 4))}^{2} } \\ 20 = \sqrt{ {(x - 3)}^{2} + {(y + 4)}^{2} } \\ now \: squaring \: on \: both \: sides \\ 400 = {(x - 3)}^{2} + {(y + 4)}^{2} \\ hence \: the \: answer \: is \: option \: b)$
