Answer:

  • 7 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Total money = $96
  • Contribution ratio = 3 : 5 : 8

<u>Contribution by each:</u>

  • 3x + 5x + 8x = 96
  • 16x = 96
  • x = 6
  • 3x → $18, 5x → $30, 8x → $48

<u>Equal contribution is:</u>

  • $96/3= $32

<u>Returned by first and second person:</u>

  • $32 - $18 = $14
  • $32 - $30 = $2

<u>Ratio of returned amount:</u>

  • 14 : 2 = 7 : 1

Shtirlitz [24]
For the surface of rectangle to be minimum the the dimensions must be equal. Let the length=width=height=x cm
thus the volume will be:
x×x×x=28
x³=28
x=∛28
x=2√7 cm
thus the dimensions are such that length=width=height=2√7

Answer:

1:

<A=½(arcJL)=½(70+120)=35+60=95°

[inscribed angle is half of central angle]

2:

<W=½arcVX=½(130)=65°

[inscribed angle is half of central angle]

3.

<E=½(arcDC)=½(90)=45°

[inscribed angle is half of central angle]

4.

<R=½(arcXZ)=½(110+62)=86°

[inscribed angle is half of central angle]

5.

<B=½(arc DC)=½×104°=52°

[inscribed angle is half of central angle]

6.

<K=90°

[inscribed angle in a diameter is complementary]

<K+<J+<L=180°(sum of interior angle of a triangle]

<L=180°-90°-53°=37°

again

arc JK=2×<L=2×37=74°

Which of the following is not the net of a cube?<br><br> 1<br> 2<br> 3<br> 4
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The net of a cube consists of 6 squares which when folded form a cube. To form the net of a cube 4 of the face must be in line with two faces not aligned. This will allow the cube to have 4 sides and a top and bottom. Choices 1, 2, and 4 all have fours faces aligned with two faces not aligned. Choice 3 does not. This does not form a cube.
