Answer:

The slope of the line that is parallel to the given line is $\frac{-7}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slopes and different y-intercepts

The slope of the line who has an equation ax + by = c is m = $\frac{-a}{b}$

Let us use these rules to solve the question

∵ The equation of a given line is 7x + 4y = -16

→ Compare it with the form of the equation above

∴ a = 7 and b = 4

∵ The slope of the line = $\frac{-a}{b}$

∴ The slope of the line = $\frac{-7}{4}$

∵ Parallel lines have the same slope

∴ The slope of the line that is parallel to the given line is $\frac{-7}{4}$

Short answer
For 6: 72 ft^2
For 7: 650 m^2

Six
The base is a square. It's measurement is s = 4
Base = 4^2
Base = 16 ft^2

One triangle
A = 1/2 * b * h
A = 1/2 * 4 * 7
A = 14 tt^2

Four triangles
A = 4 * 14
A = 56 ft^2

Total Area = 56 + 16 = 72 ft^2
Answer 72 square feet

Seven
Triangles
Area of 1 triangle = 1/2 * 10 * 13
Area of 1 triangle = 65

Area of 6 triangles
Area of 6 triangles = 6 * area of 1 triangle
Area of 6 triangles = 390

Base
As near as I can tell, the base is a hexagon. It's using a rather out of the way method of drawing it. I will assume it is a regular hexagon. The area of a regular hexagon is 3 sqrt(3)/2 * S^2 where s is the side of the hexagon.

Area = 3sqrt(3)/2 s^2
s = 10
Area = 3sqrt(3)/2 10^2
Area = 5.1962 * 100 /2
Area = 259.81

Total area
Total area = area of the base + area of the triangles
Total area = 259.81 + 390
Total area (rounded ) = 650

I'll do one more in this batch and then you'll need to repost again.

If you draw two diagonals on the base of the figure, the intersection point will meet the base of the height. Read that a couple of times.
Join the intersection to the midpoint of the length of the square bottom. You should get 3.5

x is found by using the pythagorean theorem.
h = 6
s = 3.5
x = ????

x^2 = 6^2 + 3.5^2
x^2 = 36 + 12.25
x^2 = 48.25
x = sqrt(48.25)
x = 6.95

Fifteen students are going hiking on their spring break. They plan to travel in three vehicles—one seating 7, one seating 5, and

andriy [413]

Answer:

The students can group themselves in 360360 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise we need to use the following equation:

$\frac{n!}{n1!*n2!*...*nk!}$

This equation give us the number of assignation of n elements in k cell, where n1, n2, ..nk are the element that are in every cell

In this case we have 15 student that need to be assign in three vehicles with an specific capacity. This vehicles would be the equivalent to cells, so we can write the equation as:

$\frac{15!}{7!*5!*3!}$

Because the first vehicle have 7 seating, the second vehicle have 5 seating and the third vehicle have 3 seating.

Solving the equation we get 360360 ways to organized 15 students in three vehicles with capacity of 7, 5 and 3 seating.

Which unit of measurement would be appropriate for the volume of a sphere with a radius of 2 meters

Semenov [28]

The volume of a sphere is found with the following formula:

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

The radius is raised to a power of 3. Since the radius is 2 <em>meters</em>, this means that the volume would be measured in cubic meters.
