Answer:

Explained below :)

(I tried my best, sorry if it doesn't make sense.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: 1/4 - 1/8= ?

1: Find the common denominator (bottom number)

2: If the common denominator is 8 then you multiply 1/4 by 2/2 to get the denominator of 8. If you needed then you can multiply the other fraction to get the same denominator.

3: Once you get multiply that then you get 2/8 -1/8.

4: Subtract the numerator (top number) 1

5: Keep the numerator (8)

6: Your answer would be 1/8

Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

$V =\dfrac{25\pi}{\sqrt{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

y=5√sinx

Volume of the solid by revolving

$V = \int_a^b(\pi y^2)dx$

a and b are the limits of the integrals

now,

$V = \int_a^b(\pi (5\sqrt{sinx})^2)dx$

$V =25\pi \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2}sinxdx$

$\int sin x = - cos x$

$V =25\pi [-cos x]_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2}$

$V =25\pi [-cos (\pi/2)+cos(\pi/4)]$

$V =25\pi [0+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}]$

$V =\dfrac{25\pi}{\sqrt{2}}$

volume of the solid generated is equal to $V =\dfrac{25\pi}{\sqrt{2}}$

Suppose an isosceles triangle abc has a=pi/4 and b=c=4. What is the length of a^2?

Zanzabum

The law of cosines states that, if $\alpha$ is the angle between sides b and c,

$a^2 = b^2+c^2-2bc\cos(\alpha)$

So, plugging our values, we have

$a^2 = 16+16-2\cdot 4\cdot 4\cdot\cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)$

This is equal to

$a^2 = 32-32\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 32-16\sqrt{2}$

Please help with this

katrin [286]

Answer:

3rd Option

Step-by-step explanation:

When you find the ratio of the 2 triangles, it is 14/5, so the 2nd option and 4th option are out of the park (The triangles are indeed similar). You are left with options 1 and 3. Option 3 is the best answer as you have to match the vertices of each triangle to each other.

June served 4/9 of 18 liters of fruit punch. How many liters does she have left?

victus00 [196]

She has 10 liters left. Find 4/9 of 18 by multiplying 4/9 and 18. 4/9 of 18 is 8, so she served 8 of the 18, leaving 10 liters.
