Answer:

The radius is 4 units, and the equation of the circle is:

(x - 3)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle centered at the point (a, b) and with a radius R, is written as:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = R^2

In the image, we can see that a segment that cuts the circle in two halves is the segment between the points:

(-1, -5) and (7, - 5)

The distance between these points is the diameter of the circle.

Remember that the distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is:

D = √( (x₂ - x₁)^2 + (y₂ - y₁)^2)

Then in this case, the distance between the known points is:

D = √( (7 - (-1))^2 + (-5 - (-5))^2)

D = √( 8^2) = 8

The diameter of the circle is 8

Then the radius is:

R = 8/2 = 4

the radius is 4.

Now, to find the center of the circle we just need to go to any of the two extremes of the interval and count 4 units towards the center of the circle, this is:

(-1 + 4, -5) = (3, -5)

(7 - 4, -5) = (3, -5)

Then the center of the circle is the point (3, -5) and the radius is R = 4

The equation of the circle is:

(x - 3)^2 + (y - (-5))^2 = 4^2

(x - 3)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 16

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Chrissy can buy 8 mini appetizers.......because

45 - 20 = 25

25 divide 3 = 8.3333333333333 so the most she can buy is 8..

Hank has to drain his pool so repairs can be done on a crack on the bottom. The company coming to fix the pool is scheduled to a

Alik [6]

Answer:

The answer to the question: "Will Hank have the pool drained in time?" is:

Yes, Hank will have the pool drained in time.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the time Hank needs to drain the pool, we can begin with the time Hank has from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM in minutes:

Available time = 6 hours * 60 minutes / 1 hour (we cancel the unit "hour")
Available time = 360 minutes

Now we know Hank has 360 minutes to drain the pool, we're gonna calculate the volume of the pool with the given measurements and the next equation:

Volume of the pool = Deep * Long * Wide
Volume of the pool = 2 m * 10 m * 8 m
Volume of the pool = 160 m^3

Since the drain rate is in gallons, we must convert the obtained volume to gallons too, we must know that:

1 m^3 = 264.172 gal

Now, we use a rule of three:

If:

1 m^3 ⇒ 264.172 gal
160 m^3 ⇒ x

And we calculate:

$x = \frac{160 m^{3}*264.172 gal }{1m^{3} }$ (We cancel the unit "m^3)
x = 42267.52 gal

At last, we must identify how much time take to drain the pool with a volume of 42267.52 gallons if the drain rate is 130 gal/min:

Time to drain the pool = $\frac{42267.52gal}{130\frac{gal}{min} }$ (We cancel the unit "gallon")
Time to drain the pool = 325.1347692 minutes
Time to drain the pool ≅ 326 minutes (I approximate to the next number because I want to assure the pool is drained in that time)

As we know, Hank has 360 minutes to drain the pool and how it would be drained in 326 minutes approximately, we know Hank will have the pool drained in time and will have and additional 34 minutes.

Sean places 28 tomato plants in rows. All rows contain the same number of plants. There are netween 5 and 12 plants in each row.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

4 rows of 7 plants each

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of plants in each row between 5 and 12 requires us to find the factors of the total 28.

28 has factors 1,28 and 2,14 and 4,7. Only 4,7 has a number between 5 and 12. There are 4 rows of 7 plants.

the larger of two number is nine more than four times the smaller number. the sum of the two numbers is fifty-nine. find the two

VLD [36.1K]

This is solved by setting up two equations and then using one to answer the other.
The first step (use what is given to set up the two separate equations)
We are looking for two numbers, let us call them X and Y.
We are told that X + Y = 59
We are also told that (9 more than) 9+ (4times the smaller number) 4Y is the bigger number X
Then we combine that into 9+4Y=X
so we now have two separate equations and we can use one to solve the other. Everywhere we have X in the first equation, we will fill in with the second equation
(9+4Y) +Y = 59 [then combine like terms]
9+5Y=59 [subtract 9 from both sides]
5Y=50 [divide both sides by 5 to isolate the Y]
Y=10 [now plug this into either equation to solve for X]
9+4(10)=X
9+40=X
49=X and 10=Y
