Answer: 3.297 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, remember that if we have a circle of radius R, and we have an arc of angle A, the length of this arc is:

L = (A/360°)*2*3.14*R

In this case, we can think on a circle of radius R = 6cm.

And the angle in this case will be an angle of 5 minutes and 15 seconds.

We know that a clock does a complete revolution in 60 minutes, then:

60 minutes = 360°

First, we need to write 5 minutes and 15 seconds in minutes only.

we know that 60 seconds = 1min

then:

1 = 1min/60seconds = (1/60) min/seconds

then:

15 seconds = 15 seconds*((1/60) min/seconds) = (15/60) min = 0.25 min

Then:

5 minutes and 15 seconds = 5 min + 0.25 min = 5.25 min

Now we can use the relationship:

60 minutes = 360°

then:

1 = 360°/60min

Then:

5.25min = (5.25min)*(360°/60min) = 31.5°

Then we have A = 31.5°

Then the length of this arc (that is the distance that the tip of the tip travels in 5 minutes and 15 seconds) is:

L = (31.5°/360°)*2*3.14*6cm = 3.297 cm

An exterior angle of a regular polygon cannot have the measure Select one: a. 90 b. 120 c. 50 d. 40 e. 30
Otrada [13]

Answer:  c. 50

Step-by-step explanation:

1. By definition, when you add the exterior angles of a regular polygon, you obtain 360 degrees and the number of sides of that polygon can be calculated by dividing 360 degrees by the measure of the exterior angle of it.

2. As you know, the number of sides cannot be fractions, therefore, if you make the folllowing division:

360°/50°=36/5

You obtain a fraction.

3. Then, an exterior angle of a regular polygon cannot have the measure is 50°.

A system of equations is shown below.
prisoha [69]

Given:

The system of equations is

y=1.5x-3

y=1.5x+4

To find:

The true statement about the given system of equations.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y=mx+b

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We have,

y=1.5x-3

y=1.5x+4

On comparing these two lines with slope intercept form, we get

m_1=1.5,b_1=-3

m_2=1.5,b_2=4

Since the slopes of the lines are equal but the y-intercepts are different, therefore, the two lines are parallel and the system has no solution.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
