Answer:

There are 50 pages in the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Martin has read 40% of the book.

Remaining percent = (100 - 40)% = 60%

Number of pages left to finish = 30

Let,

x be the total number of pages in the book.

60% of x = 30

$\frac{60}{100}x=30$

0.6x = 30

Dividing both sides by 0.6

$\frac{0.6x}{0.6}=\frac{30}{0.6}\\x= 50$

Hence,

There are 50 pages in the book.

Given a right triangle with sides a = 3 , b = 4, and c = 5. Find the missing side c of another right triangle with a = 6 and b =

horsena [70]

c = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find out the missing side of a right triangle by using the Pythagorean theorem.

The Pythagorean theorem is...

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

We can even double check the first problem by plugging in everything into the theorem and solving, everything will come out correct. We can plug in the numbers from the second problem into the theorem and find c, also please note that the hypotenuse of a triangle will always be c. It doesn't matter which you put in for a or b, but since the problem gives us which one is a and which one is b, I'll just be plugging it in like that.

$6^2+8^2=c^2$

$36+64=c^2$

$100=c^2$

A lot of people will stop here and think that the answer is 100, but you need to find the square root of 100, since c is squared. The square root of 100 is 10, so...

c = 10

(-5,3);5×=4y+9 can you help me solve

kompoz [17]

Answer:

-25 ≠ 21

Step-by-step explanation:

it looks like the question is asking you to solve 5x=4y+9 when given the ordered pair (-5,3)

you would substitute -5 for x and 3 for y in the equation

5(-5) = 4(3) + 9

-25 = 12 + 9

-25 = 21

the question is asking you to see if the left side is equal to the right side of the equation

-25 is not equal to 21, therefore (-5,3) is not a solution to the equation

Simple algebra need help!!!

nadezda [96]

Answer:

12.85 m

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find the arc length of the sector. To do that, use the formula for arc length.

$\frac{x}{360} \times \pi \: d$

Since the figure is a semicircle, we know the central angle is 180, so plug that in for x. We also know the diameter, which is 5. So plug that in for d. Once you get the arc length, add 5 to it. 5 is the diameter and is part of the perimeter
