Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps to answering this question

determine the volume of the 12 basket

volume of a hemisphere = (2/3)πr^3

n = 22/7

r = radius

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

radius = 40/2 = 20 cm

volume of one hemisphere = (2/3) x (22/7) x (20^3) = 16,761.90 cm^3

volume of the 12 baskets = 16,761.90 cm^3 x 12 = 201,142.86 cm^

2. convert the litres of compost to cm and multiply by the total bags of compost

1 litre = 1000cm

1 bag of compost = 50 x 1000 = 50,000

4 bags of compost = 50,000 x 4 = 200,000 cm

3. compare which figure is higher. the figure gotten in step 1 or 2

201,142.86 cm^3 is greater than 200,000

there is no enough compost

I wouldn’t trust the links to a “photo” like the people in the comments said. If you give me the equation of the line the question is taking about I could solve it for you.

Answer:

$Leg\ 1 = 8$

$Leg\ 2 = 15$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: See Attachment

Required

Determine the length of the legs

To do this, we apply Pythagoras theorem.

$Hyp^2 = Adj^2 + Opp^2$

In this case:

$17^2 = x^2 + (2x- 1)^2$

Open Bracket

$17^2 = x^2 + 4x^2- 2x-2x + 1$

$17^2 = 5x^2 - 4x + 1$

$289= 5x^2 - 4x + 1$

Collect Like Terms

$5x^2 - 4x + 1 - 289 = 0$

$5x^2 - 4x - 288 = 0$

Solving using quadratic formula:

$x = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

So:

$x = 8$ or $x = -7.2$

Since, x can't be negative, then:

$x = 8$

One of the leg is:

$Leg\ 1 = x$

$Leg\ 1 = 8$

$Leg\ 2 = 2x - 1$

$Leg\ 2 = 2*8 - 1$

$Leg\ 2 = 16 - 1$

$Leg\ 2 = 15$

The number of trees in a rainforest decreases each month by 0.5%. The forest currently has 2.5 billion trees. Which expression r

Blababa [14]

Answer:

$y=2.5*10^9(0.005^{12 0}) \\\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

The above question is in the form of an exponential decay. The equation for an exponential decay is given by:

$y=ab^x$

where y and x are variables, b < 1, a is the initial value of y (that is the value of y when x = 0).

Let y represent the number of trees left and x represent the number of months. Given that there is currently 2.5 billion trees, therefore a = 2.5 * 10⁹, b = 0.5% = 0.005. The equations becomes:

$y=2.5*10^9(0.005^x)\\\\After\ ten\ years(x=10*12\ months=120\ months):\\\\y=2.5*10^9(0.005^{12 0}) \\\\$
