(Note: Assume that none of the eighth-grade students are both right-handed and left-handed.)

Answer: A) 0.410

In order to solve this problem, you should create two equations using two variables (x and y) and the information you're given. Let x be the number of left-handed female students and let y be the number of left-handed male students. Using the information given in the problem, the number of right-handed female students will be 5x and the number of right-handed male students will be 9y. Since the total number of left-handed students is 18 and the total number of right-handed students is 122, the system of equations below must be true:

x+y=18

5x+9y=122

OLEGan [10]

The correct value of the angle of rotation is 3π/5

Answer:

Distance travelled ≈ 22.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Radius;r = 12 ft

Angle of rotation; θ = 3π/5

The formula for calculating distance travelled is;

Distance travelled = rθ

So, plugging in the relevant values;

Distance travelled = 12 x 3π/5

Distance travelled ≈ 22.6 ft

finlep [7]

I am not completely sure but it's most likely the last option because congruent means equal and the two trapezoids can't be equal because of the different side lengths.
