Answer:
254/324 which is about 78.4%
Step-by-step explanation:
found area of entire square to be 18² or 324
found area of 4-quarter circles - which equals one circle with radius of 9
A = 81π which is about 70
subtracted 324 and 70 to get 254
ratio of shaded to unshaded is 254 : 324
<span>Step 1, all the exponents are increased by 2 since when squaring a number you have to multiply it to the exponents </span>
Mr. Mole's burrow was at an altitude of 6 meters below the ground.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
We need to determine the distance that Mr. Mole covers in a single minute.
To do that we divide the difference in values of altitude by the difference in the time periods.
For the first case, Mr. Mole had traveled -18 meters in 5 minutes.
We also have, he traveled -25.2 meters in 8 minutes.
Step 2:
The distance he covered in 1 minute 

So with every minute, Mr. Mole digs down an additional 2.4 meters below the surface.
To determine where Mr. Mole's burrow is we subtract the distance traveled in 5 minutes from -18.
The altitude of Mr. Mole's burrow 
So Mr. Mole's burrow was at an altitude of 6 meters below the ground i.e. -6 meters.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Lets use the compound interest formula provided to solve this:

<em>P = initial balance</em>
<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>
<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>
<em>t = time</em>
First, change 6% into a decimal:
6% ->
-> 0.06
Since the interest is compounded semi-annually, we will use 2 for n. Lets plug in the values now and your equation will be:
