Answer:

86 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>First method: Logical thinking</em>

Think of the position 34 ft below sea level as -34.

The position above sea level is 52.

You need to find the distance between -34 and 52.

You go from 34 ft below sea level, -34 to 0. That is 34 ft.

Then you go from sea level, 0 ft, to 52 ft above sea level. That is 52 ft.

The total is 34 ft + 52 ft = 86 ft

Answer: 86 ft

<em>Second method: Calculate a distance in math</em>

The distance between two points on a number line is the absolute value of the difference of their coordinates. The coordinates are -34 and 52. Subtract the numbers in either order, and take the absolute value of the difference.

|-34 - 52| = |-86| = 86

If you did it in the other order, you'd get the same answer.

|52 - (-34)| = |52 + 34| = |86| = 86

Answer: 86 ft

Find the areas of the sectors formed by ABC
Amanda [17]

Answer:

33.51 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the circle:

A = πr^2

A = π * 8^2

A = 64π = 201.06 in^2

Find the area of the 60 deg slice:

A * 60/360 = 33.51 in^2

At a party, everyone shook hands with everybody else. There were 66 handshakes. How many people were at the party?
Gnoma [55]

There would be 12 people at the party!

In general, with n+1 people, the number of handshakes is the sum of the first n consecutive numbers: 1+2+3+ ... + n.

Since this sum is n(n+1)/2, we need to solve the equation n(n+1)/2 = 66.

This is the quadratic equation n2+ n -132 = 0. Solving for n, we obtain 11 as the answer and deduce that there were 12 people at the party.

Since 66 is a relatively small number, you can also solve this problem with a hand calculator. Add 1 + 2 = + 3 = +... etc. until the total is 66. The last number that you entered (11) is n.

Hope this helps!
