Answer:

light, which normally travels the 240,000 miles from the Moon to Earth in less than two seconds, has been slowed to the speed of a minivan in rush-hour traffic — 38 miles an hour.

An entirely new state of matter, first observed four years ago, has made this possible. When atoms become packed super-closely together at super-low temperatures and super-high vacuum, they lose their identity as individual particles and act like a single super-

atom with characteristics similar to a laser.

A recipe that serves 6 uses 1 and 1/4 cups of flower. How many cups are needed to serve 8?

Zigmanuir [339]

1(1)/(4)-:3= 5/12

5/12 of a cup or 0.146 with a bar on top because the 6 goes on forever.

△ABC is a right triangle with right angle C. Side AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is 6 units longer than side BC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. If the hypotenuse has lengt

Vladimir [108]

Given:

In △ABC is a right angle triangle.

AC is 6 units longer than side BC.

$Hypotenuse=2\sqrt{17}$

To find:

The length of AC.

Solution:

Let the length of BC be x.

So, Length of AC = x+6

According to the Pythagoras theorem, in a right angle triangle

$Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Perpendicualar^2$

△ABC is a right angle triangle and AC is hypotenuse, so

$(2\sqrt{17})^2=(x)^2+(x+6)^2$

$68=x^2+x^2+12x+36$ $[\because (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2]$

Subtract 68 from both sides.

$0=2x^2+12x+36-68$

$0=2x^2+12x-32$

$0=2(x^2+6x-16)$

Divide both sides by 2.

$x^2+6x-16=0$

Splitting the middle term, we get

$x^2+8x-2x-16=0$

$x(x+8)-2(x+8)=0$

$(x+8)(x-2)=0$

$x=-8,2$

Side cannot be negative, so x=2 only.

Now,

$AC=x+6$

$AC=2+6$

$AC=8$

Therefore, the length of AC is 8 units.

What the measure of a interior angle of a six sided figure

Sergio [31]

Answer:

120 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is a regular 6 sided figure then each interior angle is 180 - (360/6)

= 120 DEGREES.
