Answer:

Option F, 10 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a circle of radius R, the perimeter is:

P = 2*pi*R

such that pi = 3.14

If we have a section of that circle defined by an angle θ, the length of the arc is:

A = (θ/360°)*P = (θ/360°)* 2*pi*R

In this case, we have a circle whose radius is defined by the length of the windshield wiper.

We also know that in one 90° revolution (so it travels the length of the arc of 90° two times) the tip travels a distance of 31 in.

Then:

A = 2*[(90°/360°)*2*3.14*R] = 31in

We need to solve this for R.

R = 31in/( 2*(90°/360°)*2*3.14) = 9.8in

We can round this to the next whole number:

R = 10in

The correct option is F.

5x+5y=-30 find the x and y intercept

Masja [62]

<em>The x and y intercept of 5x + 5y = -30 are (-6, 0) and (0, -6) respectively.</em>

<h2 /><h2>Explanation:</h2>

The Standard Form of the equation of a line is given by:

$Ax+By=C \\ \\ A,B,C \ Real \ Constants \ and \ A>0$

So:

$5x+5y=-30$

is written in Standard Form. The x and y intercepts are:

$x-intercept: \ (x,0) \\ \\ y-intercept: \ (0,y)$

So:

FOR X-INTERCEPT:

$Let's \ set: \\ y=0 \\ \\ 5x+5(0)=-30 \\ \\ Isolating \ x: \\ \\ 5x=-30 \\ \\ x=-\frac{30}{5} \\ \\ \boxed{x=-6}$

FOR Y-INTERCEPT:

$Let's \ set: \\ x=0 \\ \\ 5(0)+5y=-30 \\ \\ Isolating \ x: \\ \\ 5y=-30 \\ \\ y=-\frac{30}{5} \\ \\ \boxed{y=-6}$

Finally,<em> the x and y intercept of 5x + 5y = -30 are (-6, 0) and (0, -6) respectively.</em>

Answer:

102

Step-by-step explanation:

it's a parallelogram so it's BxH

A = 15x8 = 120

inside rectangle A is LxW

6x3 = 18

subtract the inside from the outside

120-18 = 102

Samuel orders four DVDs from an online music store. Each DVD costs $10.00. He has a 20% discount code, and sale tax is 6.75%. Wh

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

$34.40

Step-by-step explanation:

this equation has 3 steps

1. to find out how much the dvds cost without any discount or tax: $40

2. the price of the dvds with the 20% discount, which can be found with cross-multiplication making the price after discount $32

3. the final price of the dvds with sales tax can be found also with cross-multiplication and the final answer would be 34.4
