Answer:

15.7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

A slice of a round pie is a sector of a circle.

The perimeter of a slice is the arc length s plus twice the radius r.

P = s + 2r

s = rθ = r(16/360) = r/22.5. So,

16 = (r/22.5) + 2r = (r + 45r)/22.5 = 46r/22.5

16 × 22.5 = 46r

360 = 46r

r = 7.826

D = 2r = 2 × 7.826 = 15.7 in

The diameter of the cake should be 15.7 in.

Check:

$\begin{array}{rcl}P & = & s + 2r\\& = & \dfrac{r}{22.5} + 2r\\\\16 & = & \dfrac{7.826}{22.5} + 2 \times 7.826\\\\16 & = & 0.35 + 15.65\\16 & = & 16.00\\\end{array}$

It checks.

Last year Boris paid £256 for his car insurance.

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The percentage increase in the cost of Boris car insurance cost is 249%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to calculate the percentage increase in the cost of car insurance paid by Boris

Mathematically, to calculate this percentage increase, we shall need to make use of a mathematical formula.

Mathematically, the percentage increase would be;

{(new value paid-old value paid)/old value paid} * 100%

From the question, we can identify that the old value paid is £256 while the new value paid is £894

Thus, the percentage increase would be ;

(894-256)/256 * 100% = 638/256 * 100 = 2.4921875 * 100 = 249.21875 which is 249% increase to the nearest whole percentage

Find the value of x in each case:

Zanzabum

Answer:

$x=30\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Find the measures of interior angles in each triangle</u>

Triangle BGC

$m$

The measures of triangle BGC are $90\°-60\°-30\°$

Triangle CGH

we know that

$m$ -----> by consecutive interior angles

we have that

$m$

substitute

$m$

we have

$m$

remember that

$m$

$60\°+2x+180\°-4x=180\°$

$60\°=2x$

$x=30\°$

The measures of triangle CGH are $60\°-60\°-60\°$

Triangle GHE

$m< EGH=90\°-2x=90-2(30\°)=30\°$

$m< GHE=4x=4(30\°)=120\°$

remember that

$m$

substitute and solve for m<GEH

$30\°+120\°+m$

$150\°+m$

$m$

The measures of triangle GHE are $30\°-120\°-30\°$

Using V = lwh, what is an expression for the volume of the following prism? The dimensions of a prism are shown. The height is S

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

We know that the volume of a prism is defined by:

$V=lwh \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ l:length \\ \\ w:width \\ \\ h:height \\ \\ \\ l=\frac{d-2}{3d-9} \\ \\ w=\frac{4}{d-4} \\ \\ h=\frac{2d-6}{2d-4}$

Substituting values:

$V=\left(\frac{d-2}{3d-9}\right)\left(\frac{4}{d-4}\right)\left(\frac{2d-6}{2d-4}\right) \\ \\ \\ Simplifying: \\ \\ V=\frac{d-2}{3d-9}\cdot \frac{4}{d-4}\cdot \frac{d-3}{d-2} \\ \\ V=\frac{\left(d-2\right)\cdot \:4\left(d-3\right)}{\left(3d-9\right)\left(d-4\right)\left(d-2\right)} \\ \\ V=\frac{4\left(d-3\right)}{\left(3d-9\right)\left(d-4\right)} \\ \\ V=\frac{4\left(d-3\right)}{3\left(d-3\right)\left(d-4\right)}$

$Finally: \\ \\ \boxed{V=\frac{4}{3\left(d-4\right)}}$
