You want to know if an octopus (octopi are very intelligent!) can tell the difference between circles and rectangles. You provid

e each octopus with one circular disk and one flattened rectangle. You hide food under the rectangle. After several trials, you then count how many times the octopus picks up the circle and how many times it picks up the rectangle.
You get the following results:
Circles: 6
Rectangles: 19

Can the octopus tell the difference between circles and rectangles?

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The octopus chose the rectangles 68% of the time. From this observation you can tell that the octopus has learned there is food under the rectangular shape. Its cognitive abilities are less than a human's, but they are able to discern a rectangle from a circle with success.

Good luck ^^

Anyone? please i need help

<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
y = 5x - 7

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>The general form of the linear line in slope-intercept form is:</u>
y = mx + c
where:
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept

<u>1- getting the slope:</u>
The slope of the line can be calculated using the following formula:
m = </span>\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}
<span>
We are given the points:
(3,8) representing (x</span>₁<span>,y</span>₁<span>)
(2,3) representing (x</span>₂<span>,y</span>₂<span>)
Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the slope as follows:
m = </span>\frac{3-8}{2-3}<span> = 5

<u>Therefore, the equation now became:</u>
y = 5x + c

<u>2- getting the y-intercept:</u>
To get the value of the c, we will use any of the given points, substitute in the equation we got in part 1 and solve for c. I will use point (2,3) as follows:
y = 5x + c
3 = 5(2) + c
3 = 10 + c
c = 3 - 10
c = -7

<u>Based on the above, the equation of the line is:</u>
y = 5x - 7

Hope this helps :)</span>

Find the area of the semicircle. Round your answer to the nearest whole number, if necessary.
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

To the nearest hundredth : 628.32 cm^2

To the nearest whole number : 628 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a circle is : \pi*radius^2

To work out the area you would first need to work out the radius. You can do this by dividing the diameter of 40 cm by 2, this gives you 20 cm. This is because the radius is half of the diameter.

Now that we have worked out the radius, the next step would be to work out the area. You can do this by multiplying pi by the radius of 20 squared, this gives you 1256.64.

The final step is to work out the area of this semi-circle. You can do this by dividing the area of 1256.64 by 2, this gives you 628.32 cm^2. This is because a semi-circle is half of a circle.

1) Divide 40 by 2.

40/2=20 cm

2) Multiply pi by 20 squared.

\pi*20^2=1256.64 cm^2

3) Divide 1256.64 by 2.

1256.64/2=628.32 cm^2

Which figure must be a square?
Rufina [12.5K]
A is describing either a rectangle, rhombus, or square, so that's not it. B is the same, C is also a possible rhombus, and so D is the correct answer as a square.
