Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The equation can become 4x-12-5x -5 = 3 by applying distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an equation:  4(x-3)-5(x+1) = 3

Distributive property states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, then the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately i.e,,

a \cdot(b+c) = a\cdot b +a\cdot c

Apply distributive to the given equation we get;

4 \cdot x -4\cdot 3-5\cdot x -5 \cdot 1 =3

Simplify:

4x-12 -5x -5 = 3

Therefore, the statement which shows a correct next step in solving the equation is,  the equation can become 4x-12 -5x -5 = 3 by applying distributive property.

Which decimal number is 17/22 equal to?

Answers

Answer with explanation:

A decimal number is terminating , if it's denominator is of the form 2^p \text{or} 2^p * 5^q \text{or} 5^q.

The fraction or Rational number ,

                                          (17)/(22)=(17)/(11* 2)

has both 2, and 11 in the denominator,it means this decimal number is non terminating repeating.

So, (17)/(22)=0.72272727......\n\n=0.72\bar{27}

Non terminating repeating decimal.

It is equal to 0.7727272727

5.) if the sum of the measures of the angles of a regular polygon is 900, then
what is the number of sides?

Answers

Answer:

1. 1080°

2. 36°

3. 27 diagonals

4. 140°

5. 7 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The sum S of the interior angles of a polygon is given by;

S = (n-2) x 180°

Where;

n = number of sides of the polygon.

Therefore, to get the sum of the interior angles of a polygon having 8 sides, we substitute n = 8 into equation (i) as follows;

S = (8 - 2) x 180°

S = 6 x 180°

S = 1080°

Therefore, the sum of the interior angles of a polygon having 8 sides is 1080°

2. The sum of interior angles of a polygon is given by;

S = (n - 2) x 180°

For a polygon which is a regular decagon where the number of sides n = 10, the sum is;

S = (10 - 2) x 180°

S = 8 x 180°

S = 1440°

Since the decagon is regular, then each of its interior angles is given by;

1440° / 10

=> 144°

Now, since we know that the sum of the interior angle and exterior angle will give 180°, then;

The exterior angle of a regular decagon is;

180° - 144° = 36°

Therefore, the exterior angle of a regular decagon is 36°

3. The number of diagonals N of a polygon with n sides is given by;

N = (1)/(2) n(n-3)

So, for a nonagon which has 9 sides (i.e n = 9), the number of diagonals is;

N = (1)/(2)*9(9-3)

N = (1)/(2)*9(6)

N = 9(3)

N = 27

Therefore, a nonagon has 27 diagonals.

4. The sum of interior angles of a polygon is given by;

S = (n - 2) x 180°

For a polygon which is a nonagon where the number of sides n = 9, the sum is;

S = (9 - 2) x 180°

S = 7 x 180°

S = 1260°

Since the nonagon is regular, then each of its interior angles is given by;

1260° / 9

=> 140°

Therefore, the measure of each angle (interior angle) of a regular nonagon is 140°

5. The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by;

S = (n - 2) x 180°

So if the sum is 900, then to get the number of sides of the polygon, we substitute S = 900 into the equation;

900° = (n - 2) x 180°

Divide through by 180°

5 = (n - 2)

Solve for n;

n = 5 + 2

n = 7

Therefore, the regular polygon has 7 sides.

A circular garden has a circumference of 88 yards. Lars is digging a straight line along a diameter of the garden at a rate of 7 yards per hour. How many hours will it take him to dig across the garden? Use 3.14 for π and round the diameter to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

It will take 4 hours to dig in the garden

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to calculate the diameter, for this we will use the formula to calculate the circumference of a circle and we will clear the diameter

d = diameter

π = 3.14

c = circumference

c = π * d

d = c / π

d = 88yd / 3.14

d = 28.025yd

round to the nearest whole number

28.025 = 28

d = 28yd

To know how many hours it takes, we divide the diameter by the speed

t = time

v = velocity

t = d / v

t = (28yd) / (7yd/h)

t = 4h

It will take 4 hours to dig in the garden
