Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2.75 ft = (2.75 ft)(12 in/ft) = 33 in

At 0.375 inches per plate, there will be ...

(33 in)/(0.375 in/plate) = 88 plates

There are 88 steel plates in the pile.

An angle t is drawn from the center of the unit circle. Find a formula in terms of t for the straight line distance d between th

Doss [256]

Answer:

$d = \sqrt{2}\cdot \sqrt {1-\cos t - \sin t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that one of the radii meets the circle at the point (1,0). The straight line distance formula is:

$d = \sqrt{(\cos t - 1)^{2}+(\sin t - 1)^{2}}$

$d = \sqrt{(\cos^{2}t - 2\cdot \cos t + 1)+(\sin^{2}t - 2\cdot \sin t + 1)}$

$d = \sqrt{2-2\cdot (\cos t + \sin t )}$

$d = \sqrt{2}\cdot \sqrt {1-\cos t - \sin t}$

What is the value angle marked x?

Anton [14]

Answer: x =104

Step-by-step explanation:

If we draw the black line shown in the figure, two isosceles triangles are formed, and the base angles of the isosceles triangles are the same. The red angles are the same and the green ones too. The 104 degree angle is the sum of the red angle and the green angle, and x is also the sum of the red angle and the green angle, therefore x = 104.

James is four years younger than Austin. If three times James' age is increased by the square of Austin's age, the result is 28.

lara31 [8.8K]

Let's use J for James's age and A for Austin's age. The equations are:

J = A - 4
3J + A² = 28

Just plug (A - 4) in the place of J in the second equation. This gives you:

3(A - 4) + A² = 28
-->
A² + 3A - 12 = 28
-->
A² + 3A - 40 = 0
-->
(A - 5)(A + 8) = 0
-->
A = 5 or -8

-8 is nonsense, so Austin is 5 years old. Therefore, James is 1 year old.

A hot air balloon can hold up to 300 pounds of weight. The balloon's pilot weighs 140 pounds. How many 20-pound bags of sand (b)

Anvisha [2.4K]

0,5, and 8 are the 3 that are correct. You cannot have negative bags of course. Also it cannot be 10 because the balloon cannot hold that much weight.
