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.

jonathan ran 5 days this week. the most he ran in one day was 3.5 miles. write an inequality that shows the distance jonathan co
poizon [28]
Let m represent the number of miles this guy runs in a day.
He runs every day, so the minimum number of miles has to be greater than 0.
According to the problem statement, the max number of miles is 3.5 miles or less.

Translate this into a (symbolic) inequality.

The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current x xx (in amperes) is modeled by P ( x ) = −
marysya [2.9K]

Given:

The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current x (in amperes) is modeled by

P(x)=-15x(x-8)

To find:

The current which will produce the maximum power.

Solution:

We have,

P(x)=-15x(x-8)

P(x)=-15x^2+120x

Differentiate with respect to x.

P'(x)=-15(2x)+120(1)

P'(x)=-30x+120      ...(i)

To find the extreme point equate P'(x)=0.

-30x+120=0

-30x=-120

Divide both sides by -30.

x=4

Differentiate (i) with respect to x.

P'(x)=-30(1)+(0)

P'(x)=-30 (Maximum)

It means, the given function is maximum at x=4.

Therefore, the current of 4 amperes will produce the maximum power.

If EBC = 31a - 2 and EBH = 4a + 45 find HBC
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The measure of angle HBC is m∠HBC=61°

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have that

The line BH bisects angle EBC,

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

then

m∠EBC=m∠EBH+m∠HBC

m∠EBH=m∠HBC

so

m∠EBC=2(m∠EBH)

substitute the given values and solve for a

31a-2=2(4a+45)\\31a-2=8a+90\\31a-8a=92\\23a=92\\a=4

<em>Find the measure of angle EBH</em>

m∠EBH=(4(4)+45)=61°

Remember that

m∠EBH=m∠HBC

therefore

The measure of angle HBC is m∠HBC=61°

Emily's family loves to work together in the garden. They have a slight preference for flowers, as 60percent of their plants are
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

There are 20 vegetable plants in garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Percentage of flowers = 60%

Percentage of vegetable = 40%

Number of plants in garden = 50

Number of vegetables in garden =

40\% \times \text{Number of plant}\\\\= \dfrac{40}{100}\times 50\\\\= 20

Number of flowers in garden =

60\% \times \text{Number of plant}\\\\= \dfrac{60}{100}\times 50\\\\= 30

Thus, there are 20 vegetable plants in garden.
