Answer:

x = 29 / (8c)

Step-by-step explanation:

(2/3)(cx + 1/2) - 1/4 = 5/2
(2/3)cx + 1/3 - 1/4 = 5/2
(2/3)cx + 1/12 = 5/2 Multiply all terms by 12
8cx + 1 = 30
8cx = 29
x = 29 / (8c)

Suppose that circles R and S have a central angle measuring 80°. Additionally, the measure of the sector for circle R is

riadik2000 [5.3K]

The correct answer is B) 9 m.

The measure of the sector of circle R is 32π/9 m. The measure of the central angle is 80°. This means that the sector is 80/360 = 2/9 of the circle. The area of a circle is given by A=πr², so the area of the sector is A=2/9πr². To verify this, 2/9π(4²) = 2/9π(16) = 32π/9.

Using this same formula for circle S, we will work backward to find the radius:

18π = 2/9πr²

Multiply both sides by 9:
18*9π = 2πr²
162π = 2πr²

Divide both sides by 2π:
162π/2π = 2πr²/2π
81 = r²

Take the square root of both sides:
√81 = √r²
9 = r

How many ways are there to put 6 balls in 3 boxes if the balls are distinguishable but the boxes are not?

FromTheMoon [43]

This is essentially asking how many different ways to partition 6 into 3 segments.

I am assuming "no ball in a box" is not allowed.

6 can be partitioned as

(4,1,1), (3,2,1), and (2,2,2)

So, calculate each partition, we get

(6 choose 4) + (6 choose 3)*(3 choose 2) + (6 choose 2) * (4 choose 2)

= 15 + 20*3 + 15*6

=165

what is the distance between point S and U? Round to the nearest tenth of a unit? A 3.3 B 6.4 C 8.1 D 12.0

ki77a [65]

The distance between the points (d) is found using the Pythagorean theorem.

Imagine the two points as defining the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The lengths of the legs of the triangle are the horizontal distance between the points and the vertical distance between the points. The the theorem tells us
d² = 4² + 7²
d² = 16 + 49
d² = 65
d = √65 ≈ 8.1

The distance between the points is
C 8.1

_____
You know that the distance must be longer than the longest leg (7) and must be shorter than the sum of the two legs (4+7=11). The only answer choice between 7 and 11 is 8.1.
