The radius of a circle is 6 inches. What is the length of a 135-degree arc?

1 answer:

8 0

14.14 inches

Convert 135° into radians. 135*2pi/360=3pi/4.
6*3pi/4=18pi/4=9pi/2=14.14

Another viable method is to do 2pi*6*135/360=14.14

What is the solution of x=2+ square root x-2?

alex41 [277]

So I'm going to assume that this question is asking for non extraneous solutions, or solutions that are found in the equation and are valid solutions when plugged back into the equation. So firstly, subtract 2 on both sides of the equation:

$x-2=\sqrt{x-2}$

Next, square both sides:

$(x-2)^2=x-2\\(x-2)(x-2)=x-2\\x^2-4x+4=x-2$

Next, subtract x and add 2 to both sides of the equation:

$x^2-5x+6=0$

Now we are going to be factoring by grouping to find the solution(s). Firstly, what two terms have a product of 6x^2 and a sum of -5x? That would be -3x and -2x. Replace -5x with -2x - 3x:

$x^2-2x-3x+6=0$

Next, factor x^2 - 2x and -3x + 6 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside of the parentheses:

$x(x-2)-3(x-2)=0$

Now you can rewrite the equation as $(x-3)(x-2)=0$

Now, apply the Zero Product Property and solve for x as such:

$x-3=0\\x=3\\\\x-2=0\\x=2$

Now, it may appear that the answer is C, however we need to plug the numbers back into the original equation to see if they are true as such:

$2=2+\sqrt{2-2}\\2=2+\sqrt{0}\\2=2+0\\2=2\ \textsf{true}\\\\3=2+\sqrt{3-2}\\3=2+\sqrt{1}\\3=2+1\\3=3\ \textsf{true}$

Since both solutions hold true when x = 2 and x = 3, your answer is C. x = 2 or x = 3.

In the accompanying diagram of ABC ca is extended to D, m∠ABC = 70 and m∠BCA =50 Find m∠DAB

zvonat [6]

Answer:

120 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached.

From the diagram;

Interior angles are m∠BCA and m∠ABC

Exterior angle is m∠DAB

The sum of interior angle of the triangle is equal to exterior

m∠BCA +m∠ABC =m∠DAB

Given

m∠ABC = 70

m∠BCA =50

m∠DAB = 70 + 50

m∠DAB = 120 degrees

Hence the measure of m∠DAB is 120 degrees

One printing press can print the whole school newspaper in 12 hours, while another press can print in 18 hours. How long will th

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

7 Hours 12 Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

So they one of the printer increases at a rate of 1/12 and the other increases at a rate of 1/18. Since you don't know the time it actually takes, you will replace both numerators with and x. (x/12 and x/18). You want to set these up so that they are adding. (x/12 + x/18=1). Since you're adding, you want to change it to the same denominator. The lowest is 36 so you multiply x/12 by 3/3 (so you don't unbalance the equation) and x/18 by 2/2. You'll end up with 3x/36 + 2x/36= 1 which will simplify to 5x/36=1. Multiply each side by 36 to leave the variable by itself. It becomes 5x=36 and when you divide it by 5 you get 7.2. So it's seven and .2 hours, which is equivalent to7 and 1/5 of an hour or 7 hours and 12 minutes.
