If 3⁄4 gallons of water come out of a hose in 15 minutes, to calculate the rate of water that comes out in an hour (60 minutes), we will use the expression;

3/4 gallons = 15 minutes

x gallons = 60minutes

cross multiply

15x = 3/4 * 60

15x = 180/4

15x = 45

x = 45/15

x = 3/1

x = 3:1

Hence the water rate in gallons per hour is 3 gallons per hour

Use a calculator or a square root table to approximate to the nearest thousandth

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

- 13.077

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have to calculate the square root of a certain number using the help of the calculator or a square root table.

The given expression is $- \sqrt{ 171 }$ .

Now, using calculator $\sqrt{ 171 } = 13.076696$

Now, $- \sqrt{ 171 } = - 13.076696$

So, approximate value to the nearest thousandth is - 13.077 ( Answer )

Can you write the equation for a circle if the given point does not lie on the circle? Explain .

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle with center (a,b) and radius r is given as:

${(x - a)}^{2} + {(y - b)}^{2} = {r}^{2}$

If a given point (x,y) does not lie on this circle, it will not satisfy its equation.

This means the distance from the point to the center is not equal to the radius.

It is either less or greater than the radius.

Hence you cannot write the equation of the circle.
