lara [203]

She needs to purchase a cover to protect the hot tub of an area of 38.5 square feet.

<h3>What is a circle?</h3>

It is a locus of a point drawn at an equidistant from the center. The distance from the center to the circumference is called the radius of the circle.

Claire has a hot tub with a diameter of 7 feet. She wants to purchase a cover to protect the hot tub.

The area of the circle is given by

\rm Area = \dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2

We have d = 7 ft, then the area of the circle will be

\rm Area = \dfrac{3.14}{4}*7^2\\\\Area = 38.5 \ ft^2

More about the circle link is given below.

A jeweler has 5 rings, each weighing 18 g, made of an alloy of 10% silver and 90% gold. she decides to melt down the rings and a
ankoles [38]
Silver = 10%
Gold = 90%

Amount of gold to be deducted
90/100 × 18 = 16.2 g

75/100 × 18 = 13.5

16.2 - 13.5 = 2.7

Amount o silver to added.
  2.7 × 5 = 13.5


Answer = 13.5 g

Plz help don’t understand
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

every time x goes up 1,  y goes up 4  

x = 3  minus x = 2  is a delta (a change of 1)

x = 4  minus x = 3  is a delta (a change of 1)

x = 5  minus x = 4  is a delta (a change of 1)

       the delta x is ALWAYS 1 for this table you can always substract x's to find the delta     delta is symbolized by Δ      Δx  for the delta x

y = 7  minus y = 3  is a delta (a change of 4)

y = 11  minus y = 7  is a delta (a change of 4)

y = 15  minus y = 11  is a delta (a change of 4)

    the delta y is ALWAYS 4 for this table you can always substract y's to find the delta     delta is symbolized by Δ     Δy  for the delta y

the slope m = Δy / Δx      m = 4 / 1     m = 4

     y = mx + b             when x = 0    then  y = b   (called the y intercept)

so how do we find the y intercept?    

look at the pattern in the TABLE  Δx  and Δy

   when x = 1    y = (3 - 4)  = -1

             x = 0    y =( -1 - 4)   = -5

so       y = 4x - 5     is a line equation for the data in this table

                                I believe there are other forms for linear equations

                               I chose the y-intercept form

use the point slope equation

       (y - y1)  =  m(x - x1)            where (x1, y1)  are the coordinates of a point on  

                                                the line

       when you know the slope of the line and a point on the line

       as before

       m = (y2 - y1)  / (x2 - x1)          from the table

           = (7 - 3) / (3 - 2)                 still equals

           = 4/1  =  4        

        pick a point on the line    say x= 4 and y = 11    (4, 11)

       (y - y1)  =  m(x - x1)    

        y - 11   =   4(x - 4)              point slope form

         solving point slope form  for  y

        y  - 11  =   4x - 16               add 11 to both sides    

           y  =  4x - 5                    back to the y-intercept form

Nicole wants to know the height of the snow sculpture but its too tall to measure. Nicole measured the shadow of the snow sculpt
NeX [460]

Answer:

15 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Nicole measured the shadow of the snow sculptures highest point to be 10 feet long. At the same time of day Nicole's shadow was 40 inches long. Nicole is five feet long.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem as proportions states that two fractions are equal.

\frac{\text{The height of the snow sculpture}}{\text{The Height of shadow of snow sculpture}}=\frac{\text{Nicole's height}}{\text{Height of Nicole's shadow}}

Let us convert given measurements from feet to inches.

1 feet = 12 inches.

10 feet = 10*12 inches = 120 inches.

5 feet =5*12 = 60 inches

\frac{\text{The height of the snow sculpture}}{120}=\frac{60}{40}

Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 120.

\frac{\text{The height of the snow sculpture}}{120}*120=\frac{60}{40}*120

\text{The height of the snow sculpture}=60*3

\text{The height of the snow sculpture}=180

So the height of the snow sculpture is 180 inches. Let us convert our final answer to feet by dividing 180 by 12.

\text{The height of the snow sculpture}=\frac{180\text{ inches}}{12}\times \frac{\text{feet}}{\text{inches}}

\text{The height of the snow sculpture}=\frac{180\text{ inches}}{12}\times \frac{\text{feet}}{\text{inches}}

\text{The height of the snow sculpture}=15\text{ feet}

Therefore, the height of the snow sculpture is 15 feet.
