Answer:

Points scored in a basketball game vary directly with shots taken.

This means that this question can be solved

by proportions, using a rule of three.

How many would she have scored if she takes 60 shots?

Using a rule of three:

50 points - 40 shots

x points - 60 shots

Applying cross multiplication:

4x = 50 × 60

Divide from both sides

x = 50 × 1.25 = 75

Answer is 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a easier explanation if you didn't understand clearly:

It asked for how many 60 shots would score.

You would look at the first time he scored which is 50 and took 40 shots. Divide them

50 ÷ 40 = 1.25 or 1.5

So now you know each point scores 1.25 or 1.5

Now you multiply 1.25 or 1.5 with how many shots to see how much was scored and in this case 60 shots.

60 × 1.25 or 60 × 1.5

& They both end up equaling just the same, 75.

Hope it made sense :)

First, find the arc measure BD. The arc measure is twice the central angle measure. BD should be 48*2 = 96.

The chord BC looks like it’s the diameter of the circle, so it must have a measure of 180.

From here you can find DC. The total measure of a circle is 360.
360- 96-180 = 84, so DC is 84.

DBC is 360- DC
so 360- 84 = 276.

DCB is just 360- BD
so 360- 96 = 264.
Hope this helps!

Answer:

y=-3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for the equation in slope-intercept form. This is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The slope can be found by counting the units in between two points on the graph. Remember that slope is rise over run or y/x. Two points on the graph are (2,-2) and (1,1). The y is increasing by 3 while x is decreasing by 1. This means the slope is -3.

The y-intercept is where the line intersects with the y-axis. In this case, that point is (0,4). Therefore, b=4.

The final answer is y=-3x+4.

The figure is made up of a cylinder and a cone.
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

51*pi or 160.221

Step-by-step explanation:

total volume = volume of a cone + volume of a cylinder

total volume = 1/3* pi*r^2* height(of cone) + pi* r^2 *height(of cylinder)

total volume = 1/3 * pi * 3^2 * 5 + pi * 3^2 * 4

total volume = 51*pi = 160.221
