Answer:

the number of child plates and adults plates were served is 125 and 155 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the child plate be x

And, the adult plates be y

Now according to the question

x + y = 280 .................(1)

2.60x + 9.50y = 1797.50 .............(2)

Now multiply by 2.60x in equation (1)

2.60x + 2.60y = 728

2.60x + 9.50y = 1797.50

-6.90y = -1069.50

y = 155

So, x = 280 - 155

= 125

hence, the number of child plates and adults plates were served is 125 and 155 respectively

Five less than half the distance from Delaney’s home to the mall is more than 6 miles.
vovikov84 [41]

let x = the distance from Delany's house to the mall

 so half the distance would be 1/2x

then it is 5 miles less than that so you would subtract 5 to give you 1/2x-5

and that is more than 6 miles so you get 1/2x-5>6

A circle is cut into congruent sections and arranged to form a figure that approximates a parallelogram. Find the approximate he
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

<h2>The height is 3.43 centimeters, approximately.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that there are 16 pieces from the circle, which means each sector has an angle of

\theta = \frac{360\°}{16}=22.5\°

Where all sectors have equal area.

Now, the area of the whole circle is 12.25 \pi \ cm^{2}, if we use the formula of its area, we'll find the radius of the circle

A= \pi r^{2}\\ 12.25\pi = \pi r^{2}\\ r=\sqrt{12.25} \approx  3.5

Notice that each piece works as an isosceles triangle, because each side is the radius, that is, they have the same length. So far, we know the sides of the isosceles triangle and one internal angle.

To find the height of the one piece, we need to use trigonometric reasons, because the height divides a triangle in two equal right triangles.

cos(11.25\°)=\frac{h}{3.5}\\ h=3.5 \times cos(11.25 \°)\\h \approx 3.43

Therefore, the height is 3.43 centimeters, approximately.
