Answer:

Flying squirrel have to glide is for 9.8 meters approximately.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we can use Pythagoras theorem.

Height is 9 , base is 4.

We need to find the hypotenuse measure.

So, let's use Pythagoras theorem a^{2} +b^{2}= c^{2}

Plug in a as 9 and b 4.

9^{2} +4^{2}=c^{2}

Simplify the left side of the equation

81+16=c^{2}

97=c^{2}

Take square root on both sides.

c=9.8 meters.

A bicycle wheel travels 321 in for each revolution. What is the radius of the wheel ​
Sliva [168]

Answer:

51.1 ≈ r

Step-by-step explanation:

"A bicycle wheel travels 321 in for each revolution"- means that 321 is the circumference of the wheel that is a circle.

C = 2· π· r

What is the radius of the wheel ​?

321 = 2· π· r, divide both sides of the equation by 2 π

(321/2·π) = r , use calculator, solve and round the answer

51.1 ≈ r

Let x be the initial width, then the initial length is x+20.
<span>If Elise decreases this length by 8 feet, she will get the new length  x+20-8=x+12.

 If Elise increases the width by 10 feet, <span>she will get the new width x+10.
</span><span>
</span><span>The new perimeter will be x+12+x+12+x+10+x+10=4x+44=172, 4x=172-44, 4x=128,  x=128÷4, x=32.

kozerog [31]
The ratio is 3:2, purple :green
The bag has 21 purple so to get from 3 to 21 it is multiplied by 7; so we must also multiply the 2 by 7 to keep the ratio balanced.
