A homeowner is building a circular fire pit in his backyard. He plans to outline the pit with bricks and cover the space inside

the pit with sand. The homeowner has decided to build the pit with a diameter of 3 feet.
1. In order to know how many bricks to buy, the homeowner must know the distance around the outside of the pit. Calculate both the exact distance and the approximate distance.

2. In order to know how much sand to buy, the homeowner must know how much space needs to be covered inside the pit. Calculate both the exact area and the approximate area.

Answer:

<em>1) the exact distance = 9.428571429 feet</em>

<em>the approximate distance = 9.4 feet</em>

<em></em>

<em>2) the exact area = 7.071428571 ft^2</em>

<em>the approximate area = 7 ft^2</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Required diameter d = 3 feet

1) The distance around the outside of the pit is the circumference of the circle that will be formed by this circular fire pit.

circumference of a circle is given as = πd = \frac{22}{7} x 3 = 9.428571429 feet

the exact distance = 9.428571429 feet

the approximate distance = 9.4 feet

2) The area of the circle that will be formed = \pi d^{2}/4 = \frac{22 *3^{2} }{7*4} = 7.071428571 ft^2

the exact area = 7.071428571 ft^2

the approximate area = 7 ft^2

Simplify the expression 3x(x – 12x) + 3x2 – 2(x – 2)2. Which statements are true about the process and simplified product? Check
olasank [31]
We have the expression:
3x(x-12x) + 3x^2 - 2(x-2)^2

First, we will expand the power 2 bracket as follows:
3x(x-12x) + 3x^2 - 2(x^2 - 4x +4)

Then, we will get rid of the brackets as follows:
3x^2 - 36x^2 + 3x^2 - 2x^2 + 8x - 8

Now, we will gather the like terms and add them as follows:
-32 x^2 + 8x - 8

We can take the 8 as a common factor:
8 ( -4x^2 + x -1)

Milk and cream are mixed together for a recipe. The total volume of the mixture is 1 cup. If the milk contains 2% fat, the cream
inessss [21]

Answer: 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of mixture (6%fat) in cup is 100cc

x cc be the volume of cream (18% fat) in the mixture.

∴

(100−x) cc be the volume of milk (2% fat) in the mixture.

x * 0.18+(100−x) * 0.02=100

⋅0.06 or 0.18x − 0.02x = 6−2 or 0.16x

= 4 or x=25 cc = 25%

In △XYZ, m∠Z = 34, x = 61 cm, and z = 42 cm. Find m∠X. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.
Elza [17]
M∠X = 54.3°.

Using the Law of Sines, we have:
\frac{\sin{Z}}{z}=\frac{\sin{X}}{x}&#10;\\&#10;\\\frac{\sin{34}}{42}=\frac{\sin{X}}{61}

Cross multiplying gives us
61(sin 34) = 42(sin X)

Divide both sides by 42:
(61(sin 34))/42 = (42(sin X))/42
(61(sin 34))/42 = sin X

Take the inverse sine of both sides:
sin⁻¹((61(sin 34))/42) = sin⁻¹(sin X)
54.3 = X

Drag each expression to show whether it is equivalent to 6(4x−1), 24x+6, or (4⋅6x)+(4⋅2) somebody please help me i need to get t
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

6(4x-1) is equivalent to 24x-6 and (2*12x)-(2*3)

24x+6 is equivalent to 6(4x+1) and (6*4x)+(6*1)

(4*6x)+(4*2) is equivalent to 24x+8 and 4(6x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

An equivalent expression is an expression which either simplified or factored is equal to it.

6(4x-1) is equivalent to 24x-6 and (2*12x)-(2*3)

24x+6 is equivalent to 6(4x+1) and (6*4x)+(6*1)

(4*6x)+(4*2) is equivalent to 24x+8 and 4(6x+2)

DerKrebs [107]
Total albums:
8 + 12 + 4 = 24

Probability of both blue = Probability of first blue x Probability of second blue
P(First blue) = 12/20
P(Second blue) = 11/19

P(Both blue) = 12/20 x 11/19
= 33/95
