Answer:

25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Information that is needed to solve the problem;

The formula for the perimeter is:

2(a+b) = P

where "a" is the length and "b" is the width.

2. Solving the problem;

Substitute the given values into the formula;

2( 5 + b ) = 58

Inverse operations;

2 ( 5 + b ) = 58

/2 /2

5 + b = 29

-5 -5

b = 25

A bicycle wheel with radius 26" rotates through an arc that measures 80°. What is the length of the arc of the tire that touched

seropon [69]

Answer:

104/4 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: The circumference of a circle is:

Radius = r, Diameter = d, C = Circumference

C=2πr (as 2r=d)

C=πd

-------------

If the radius of the circle is 26" then its diameter must be 52".

This means that the bicycle wheel has a circumference of 52π".

I'm going to divide 52π" into 360 parts (because a circle is made up of 360 degrees). I'll then multiply this value by 80 to give you an answer.

What is the probability that a single card chosen from a complete deck of cards is not an ace or a King? ( with explanation )

NikAS [45]

Answer:

84.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

There ae 52 cards in a standard deck there are 4 aces and 4 kings in each deck

therefore

52-8 =44, 44 cards that are not kings or aces

therefore the probability is

44/52 = 0.846153846*100 = 84.615%

There the chances are 44/52 or 84.6%

Use average rates of change to determine if the function in the table is Linear or Non-linear.

nevsk [136]

We have been given a table of values of a function. We are asked to determine whether the given function is linear or nonlinear.

We know that a function is linear when its rate of change (slope) is constant.

Let us find slope for each of the given points using slope formula.

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{-3-0}{4-1}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1$

Similarly, we will find the slopes using other given coordinates.

$m=\frac{-6-(-3)}{7-4}=\frac{-6+3}{3}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1$

$m=\frac{-9-(-6)}{10-7}=\frac{-9+6}{3}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1$

Since the rate of change for each set of points is $-1$ , so the rate of change is constant.

Therefore, the given function is linear.

Find a set of parametric equations of the line with the given characteristics. (Enter your answer as a comma-separated list of e

emmainna [20.7K]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Find a set of parametric equations of the line with the given characteristics. (Enter your answer as a comma-separated list of equations in terms of x, y, z, and t.) The line passes through the point (3, 1, 2) and is parallel to the line given by x = y = z.

Answer:

the set of parametric equations of the line with the given characteristics are; x = t+3, y = t+1, z = t+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

line x = y = z and point ( 3, 1, 2 )

the given line can be written as;

[x-0 / 1] = [y-0 / 1] = [z-0 / 1]

if two lines are parallel directional ratios are equal.

so DIRECTIONAL RATIOS of given line is ( 1, 1, 1 )

therefore required line is;

[x-3 / 1] = [y-1 / 1] = [z-2 / 1] = t

⇒ [x-3 / 1] = t

x = t+3

[y-1 / 1] = t

y = t+1

[z-2 / 1] = t

z = t+2

Therefore the set of parametric equations of the line with the given characteristics are; x = t+3, y = t+1, z = t+2
