Answer:

238 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told:

In a lighting, green light glows after every 12 seconds, red light glows after every 30 seconds, blue light glows after every 34 seconds and yellow light glows after every 56 seconds.

We solve this question by using LCM Method

We find the Least Common Multiple of 12, 30, 36 and 56

= 14,280 seconds.

Hence, the least time in seconds after which they glow together is 14,280 seconds.

To find the least time in minutes after which they all glow together.​

We convert from seconds to minutes

60 seconds = 1 minute

14280 seconds = x

Cross Multiply

60 × x = 14280 × 1

x = 14280/60

x = 238 minutes

The least time in minutes after which they all glow together.​

238 minutes

Is the triangle obtuse, acute, equilateral or right?
Stells [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of cosines tells you ...

  b² = a² +c² -2ac·cos(B)

Substituting for a²+c² using the given equation, we have ...

  b² = b²·cos(B)² -2ac·cos(B)

We can subtract b² to get a quadratic in standard form for cos(B).

  b²·cos(B)² -2ac·cos(B) -b² = 0

Solving this using the quadratic formula gives ...

  \cos(B)=\dfrac{-(-2ac)\pm\sqrt{(-2ac)^2-4(b^2)(-b^2)}}{2b^2}\\\\\cos(B)=\dfrac{ac}{b^2}\pm\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{ac}{b^2}\right)^2+1}

The fraction ac/b² is always positive, so the term on the right (the square root) is always greater than 1. The value of cos(B) cannot be greater than 1, so the only viable value for cos(B) is ...

  \cos(B)=\dfrac{ac}{b^2}-\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{ac}{b^2}\right)^2+1}

The value of the radical is necessarily greater than ac/b², so cos(B) is necessarily negative. When cos(B) < 0, B > 90°. The triangle is obtuse.

1.An ice cream cone has a radius of 3 inches and a height of 5 inches. Which measurement is the closest to the volume in cubic i
Murljashka [212]
First question
Volume = height * radius*radius*3.14
5*3*3*3.14 = 141.3 in3

Second qustion
Violume = height * radius * radius * 3.14
28*8*8*3.14= 5626.88 cm3
So the answer is 1875.63 because it's the closest

James Wants to triple his vegetarian meatball recipe that uses 1 lb. 10 oz. of tofu how much tofu will he need in total
AVprozaik [17]
Answer: The tripled tofu is 4 lb. 14 oz. Explanation: So you first want to turn your mass into the same unit, so change the pounds of tofu into ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound, which means the total mass of the original tofu could be written as (16 oz.) + 10 oz. = 26 oz. tofu. Multiply this by 3, and you have tripled the tofu. 3 * 26 = 78. To simplify it, divide 78 oz by 16 to find pounds, and leave the remainder in ounces. 78/16 = 4 lb. 14 oz tofu.

Change the fraction w-3/w+5 into an equivalent fraction with the denominator w2 + w – 20.
viktelen [127]
ANSWER

\frac{ {w}^{2}  - 7w + 12}{ {w}^{2}  + w - 20 }

EXPLANATION


The given fraction is,

\frac{w - 3}{w + 5}

To get an equivalent fraction, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same quantity that will give us

w²+w-20

in the denominator.


This implies that,

\frac{w - 3}{w + 5}  =  \frac{(w - 3)(w - 4)}{(w + 5)(w - 4)}

We multiply out the numerators and denominators using the distributive property to obtain,


\frac{w - 3}{w + 5}  =  \frac{ {w}^{2}  - 4w - 3w + 12}{ {w}^{2} - 4w + 5w - 20 }

This simplifies to

\frac{w - 3}{w + 5}  =  \frac{ {w}^{2}  - 7w + 12}{ {w}^{2}  + w - 20 }
