There were 3,496 parts in total that were tooled by the machine.

Assuming the total number of parts tooled is x, that means that 1/8 of x is 437 parts because that was the proportion of the total that was rejected.

To find the total number of parts therefore, use the formula:

<em>Proportion of rejects × x = Number of parts rejected </em>

1/8 × x = 437

1/8x = 437

x = 437 ÷ 1/8

x = 437 x 8

x = 3,496 parts

In conclusion, there was 3,496 parts.

In any trapezoid, the area is given by

$A = \dfrac{(B+b)h}{2}$

where B and b are the two bases, and h is the height. You're given all these elements already, so you only need to plug the values in:

$A = \dfrac{(3+11)\cdot 8}{2} = \dfrac{14\cdot 8}{2} = 7\cdot 8 = 56$

The planet Mercury travels in an elliptical orbit with eccentricity 0.203. Its minimum distance from the Sun is 4.5 x 10^7 km. I

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Eccentricity $e=0.203$

Minimum distance from the Sun $d_s= 4.5 x 10^7 km$

Perihelion distance from a planet to the Sun is $r= a(1 - e)$

Aphelion distance $r'=a(1 + e)$

Generally the equation for Perihelion distance is mathematically given by

$4.5 * 10^7= a(1 - 0.203)$

$4.5 * 10^7 = 0.797a$

$a = 56.46 * 10^6 km$

Generally the equation for Aperihelion distance is mathematically given by

$r' = a(1 + e)$

$r' = 56.4617 * 10^6 (1 + 0.203)$

$r'=6.8 * 10^7 km$

Option C
