Answer:

The distance between the hands is √(3)cm ≈ 1.73cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard clock, the angle between every number is 30°, therefore the angle between 12 and 2 will be 30° x 2 = 60°.

Looking at the diagram, to find c we can make use of our cosine formula

c² = a² + b² –2abCos(C°)

a = 2, b = 1 and C° = 60°

Therefore we have:

c² = 2² + 1² –2 x 2 x 1 x cos(60°) =

c² = 4 + 1 – 4 x 0.5 =

c² = 5 – 2 =

c² = 3

c = √(3) ≈ 1.73

Therefore, the distance between the hands is √(3)cm ≈ 1.73cm.

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Add 1 to both sides of the equation.

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse of a function refers to that function that tends to undo another function.

If we intend to find the inverse of the function, f(x) = 3+ V2 - 1, we have to first add 1 to both sides of the equation and subsequently subtract 3 from both sides of the equation before taking the square root of both sides to obtain the inverse function.

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helps you :)

adoni [48]

Answer:

the previous population was 62,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The current population of a city = 83,700

The population of a city has increased by 35% since it was last measured.

We have to calculate the previous population before increasing 35%.

Let the previous population be p

p +(35% × p) = 83,700

p + 0.35p = 83,700

1.35p = 83,700

p =  

p = 62,000

Therefore, the previous population was 62,000.
