Answers:

  • Total equation:  x+y = 80
  • Legs equation:  2x+4y = 248
  • How many ducks? 36
  • How many cows? 44

====================================================

Further explanation:

  • x = number of ducks
  • y = number of cows

x+y = 80 is the total equation (ie the head count equation) since we assume each animal has 1 head, and there are 80 heads total.

That equation can be solved to y = 80-x after subtracting x from both sides.

The legs equation is 2x+4y = 248 because...

  • 2x = number of legs from all the ducks only
  • 4y = number of legs from all the cows only
  • 2x+4y = total number of legs from both types of animals combined

We're told there are 248 legs overall, so that's how we ended up with 2x+4y = 248

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

Let's plug y = 80-x into the second equation and solve for x.

2x+4y = 248

2x+4( y ) = 248

2x+4( 80-x ) = 248

2x+320-4x = 248

-2x+320 = 248

-2x = 248-320

-2x = -72

x = -72/(-2)

x = 36

There are 36 ducks

Now use this x value to find y

y = 80-x

y = 80-36

y = 44

There are 44 cows.

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

Check:

36 ducks + 44 cows = 80 animals total

36*2 + 44*4 = 72 + 176 = 248 legs total

The answers are confirmed.

Derive the formula for the area of a sector, and then use it to choose all that are correct.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Part A) A_s=\frac{\pi r^{2}}{360^o}{\theta}

Part B) option 1,option 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Derive the formula for the area of a sector

we know that

The area of circle is equal to

A=\pi r^{2}

The area of circle subtends a central angle of 360 degrees

so

using proportion

Find out the area of a sector  A_s  by a central angle of ∅ degrees

\frac{\pi r^{2}}{360^o}=\frac{A_s}{\theta}

A_s=\frac{\pi r^{2}}{360^o}{\theta}

Part B) Verify each case

case 1) we have

radius = 5 cm

angle = 120°

area = 26.2 cm 2

Find the area of the sector and then compare with the value of the given area

assume

\pi=3.14

substitute the given values

A_s=\frac{(3.14)(5)^{2}}{360^o}{120^o}

A_s=26.2\ cm^2

so

The given value of area is correct

case 2) we have

radius = 4 cm

angle = 105°

area = 16.7 cm 2

Find the area of the sector and then compare with the value of the given area

assume

\pi=3.14

substitute the given values

A_s=\frac{(3.14)(4)^{2}}{360^o}{105^o}

A_s=14.7\ cm^2

so

The given value of area is not correct

case 3) we have

radius = 6 cm

angle = 85°

area = 23.7 cm 2

Find the area of the sector and then compare with the value of the given area

assume

\pi=3.14

substitute the given values

A_s=\frac{(3.14)(6)^{2}}{360^o}{85^o}

A_s=26.7\ cm^2

so

The given value of area is not correct

case 4) we have

radius = 7

angle = 75°

area = 32.1 cm 2

Find the area of the sector and then compare with the value of the given area

assume

\pi=3.14

substitute the given values

A_s=\frac{(3.14)(7)^{2}}{360^o}{75^o}

A_s=32.1\ cm^2

so

The given value of area is correct
