Answer:

A.Swing two arcs above and below the radius.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement in option A is not used in constructing an inscribed hexagon. While constructing a inscribed hexagon, swinging of the arcs is done on only one direction to cut the circumference of the circle.

Steps of constructing an inscribed hexagon are :

1. Draw a circle on a paper with the help of a compass.

2. Mark a point on the circumference of the circle and make it a starting point.

3. Now with the same span on the compass, place the compass pointer on the previous point on the circumference and swing a small arc cutting the circumference.

4. Now with same span, place the compass pointer on the intersecting point of the small arc and the circumference and make second small arc on the circumference.

5. Continue making arcs on the circumference until we reach the 1st point.

6. Now join the intersecting points on the circle and make a hexagon.

So it i clear from the above that swinging two arcs below and above the radius is not required. Thus option A is not required.

A line is a one-dimensional shape that is straight, has no thickness, and extends in both directions indefinitely. The equation of the line will be y =4x+5. Thus, the correct option is C.

<h3>What is the equation of a line?</h3>

A line is a one-dimensional shape that is straight, has no thickness, and extends in both directions indefinitely. The equation of a line is given by,

y =mx + c

where,

x is the coordinate of the x-axis,

y is the coordinate of the y-axis,

m is the slope of the line, and

c is the y-intercept.

Given the slope of the line is 4 and it goes through (-1,1), therefore, the equation of the line will be,

y = mx + c

y = 4x + c

Substitute the value of points,

1 = 4(-1) + c

1 = -4 + c

5 = c

Hence, the equation of the line will be y =4x+5. Thus, the correct option is C.

Please help me with vivid explanation

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

864 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the total area of the rectangular field

The area of a rectangle is given by the product of the length and the width

let A be the total area

A = 100*120

A = 12000 m²

Calculate the area of the small rectangles

Let A' be the total area of the four small rectangles and A" the area of one small rectangle

A' = 4 A"
A' = 4 [( $\frac{120-4}{2}$ )*( $\frac{100-4}{2}$ )]
A' = 4*58*48
A' = 11136 m²

Substract the A' from A to get the area of the road

Let A"' be the area of the road

A"' =A-A'

A"' = 12000-11136

A"' = 864 m²

What is the area of a 30 degree sector of a circle with area 96 pi meters ^2?

iren2701 [21]

$\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\
A=\pi r^2~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
-----\\
A=96\pi 
\end{cases}\implies 96\pi =\pi r^2
\\\\\\
\cfrac{96\underline{\pi }}{\underline{\pi }}=r^2\implies 96=r^2\implies \boxed{\sqrt{96}=r}\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf \textit{area of a sector of a circle}\\\\
A=\cfrac{\theta \pi r^2}{360}~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
\theta = angle~in\\
\qquad degrees\\
------\\
\theta =30\\
r=\boxed{\sqrt{96}}
\end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{(30)(\pi )(\sqrt{96})^2}{360}
\\\\\\
A=\cfrac{(30)(\pi )(96)}{360}\implies A=8\pi$

A plumber charged $18 for 15 minutes of work. If the plumbers fees remain at a constant rate, how much would the plumber charge

Alona [7]

He’d charge $72 for an hour of work. Because, 60 minutes (1 hr.) divided by 15 = 4, so the price for 15 mins.*$18=$72
