Answer: Choice B) x < 10
=======================================================
Explanation:
There's 300 square feet total (land+water). Of that, 100 sq ft is taken up by the pond, so we have 300-100 = 200 sq ft of dry land.
1 duck needs more than 20 sq ft of dry land
2 ducks need more than 40 sq ft of dry land (note how 2*20 = 40)
3 ducks need more than 60 sq ft of dry land (note how 3*20 = 60)
and so on...
In general,
x ducks need more than 20*x square feet of dry land
The max amount of dry land we have is 200 sq ft
The total amount of space the ducks take up must be less than 200 sq ft
In terms of symbols, we have
T = total space ducks take up on dry land
T = 20*x
T < 200
So we can arrive at this inequality
20*x < 200
after replacing the "T" with "20*x"
Afterward, divide both sides by 20
20*x < 200
20*x/20 < 200/20
x < 10
So we must have less than 10 ducks
If we had 10 ducks exactly, then they would take up more than 20*10 = 200 sq ft, but we only have 200 sq ft
The largest number of ducks we can have is 9 ducks.
So that's why we have a "less than" symbol instead of a "less than or equal to" symbol.
Four million five hundred and eight thousand three hundred
Answer: The central angle measures 135 degrees
Step-by-step explanation: We have been given an arc with length 9pi/2 feet and a radius of 6 feet. The arc is shown in the attached diagram (please see attachment). The central angle subtended by this arc is at point O and has been labeled angle X.
So if the diagram shows arc AB with length 9pi/2 and radius AO with length 6, we can use the formula to compute “Length of an arc” to arrive at the missing angle.
Length of an arc = X/360 x 2pi x radius
Substituting for the known values, our formula can now be re-written as
9pi/2 = X/360 x 2pi x6
By cross multiplication we now have
9pi/2pi x 6 = 2X/360
We simplify as much as possible by dividing all like terms, hence pi divides pi on the left side of the equation. Also 2 divides 360 on the right side of the equation.We now arrive at,
9/12 = X/180
Simplify even further and we have
3/4 = X/180
By cross multiplication we now have
(3 x 180)/4 = X
540/4 = X
135 = X
Therefore the central angle that intercepts the arc measures 135 degrees.
