Answer:

√55 ≈ 7.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to find the square root of 55 is to use a calculator.

√55 ≈ 7.4161984871

Rounded to the nearest tenth, this is ...

√55 ≈ 7.4

You can make a first approximation of the root by linearly interpolating between the roots of the perfect squares* on either side of 55.

√49 = 7

√64 = 8

√55 ≈ 7 +(55 -49)/(64 -49) = 7 6/15 = 7 2/5

√55 ≈ 7.4

_____

* For numbers greater than 3.3, this sort of approximation will give the value of the root accurate to the nearest tenth. The approximation is better for larger numbers.

A square part of side 20 meters has a footpath along the boundary of width 10 meters . Find the area of path

qaws [65]

Answer:

Answer: 84 meters squared. (i.e. 84m^2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the path = total area of path and plot - plot area only

First, let’s find the area of the plot:

20m x 20m = 400m^2

The path is 1m wide and runs all the way around, so, it describes an ‘outer square’ of 22m x 22m (2 x 1m larger because there are 1m of the path on each side).

The area of this ‘outer square’ is equivalent to the ‘total area of path and plot’

22m x 22m = 484m^2

So:

Area of the path = total area of path and plot - plot area only

= 484 - 400 = 84m^2

Triangle ABC is inscribed in the circle, mA=50, and AB=BC. Find arch AC.

Karolina [17]

The answer is C) 160.

We know this because if mA = 50, we know that mC must also be 50. This is due to the fact that AB = BC. This leaves us with mB as 80 since the angles of a triangle always have to equal 180.

Now knowing this, it is easy to find the arc lengths in degrees. When you have a transcribed triangle, all we are going to do here is double the angle of the triangle to get the arc measure.

mB = 80

80*2 = 160

3x²-4x+7 how do I find the domain?

Eddi Din [679]

The domain of this equation is the lowest x value to the highest x value. For example: lowest is -4 and highest is 3. You would write it as [-4,3]

For this equation, the domain is (-infinity,infinity) because there is no lowest or highest x value.
