Answer:

C. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8 can be simplified to 3/24 and 1/6 can be simplified to 4/24, add 3/24 and 4/24 together and you get 7/24 or just 7.

If CDE ~ GDF, find ED

qaws [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle CDE \sim \triangle GDF.. (given) \\\\\therefore \frac{CD}{GD} =\frac{DE}{DF}.. (csst) \\\\\therefore \frac{15}{x+3} =\frac{3x+1}{4}\\\\ \therefore \: 15 \times 4 = (x + 3)(3x + 1) \\ \\ \therefore \: 60 = 3 {x}^{2} + x + 9x + 3 \\ \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 10x + 3 - 60 = 0 \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 10x - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 19x - 9x - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore \: x(3x + 19) - 3(3x + 19) = 0 \\\therefore \: (3x + 19)(x - 3) = 0 \\ \therefore \: 3x + 19 = 0 \: \: or \: \: x - 3 = 0 \\ \therefore \: x = - \frac{19}{3} \: \: or \: \: x = 3 \\ \because \: x \: can \: not \: be \: - ve \\ \therefore \: x = 3 \\ ED = 3x + 1 = 3 \times 3 + 1 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ ED= 10}}$

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 12.5 cm and a base with a circumference of 5.8 cm. Round your answ

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

$V = 11.2 cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Right Circular cone

Height, h = 12.5 cm

Base circumference, C = 5.8cm

Required:

Calculate Volume

The volume of a cone is calculated as thus;

Volume, $V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

Where V, r and h represent the volume, the radius and the height of the cone respectively

But first we need to calculate the radius of the cone.

Using formula of circumference.

$C = 2\pi r$

We have C to be 5.8cm

By substituting this value;

$5.8 = 2\pi r$

Divide through by $2\pi$

$\frac{5.8}{2\pi} = \frac{2\pi r}{2\pi}$

$r = \frac{5.8}{2\pi}$

$r = \frac{2.9}{\pi}$

Now, we can calculate the volume of the cone

By substituting $r = \frac{2.9}{\pi}$ and h = 12.5 cm;

$V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$ becomes

$V = \frac{1}{3}\pi * (\frac{2.9}{\pi})^2 * 12.5$

$V = \frac{1}{3}\pi * \frac{8.41}{\pi^2} * 12.5$

$V = \frac{1}{3} * \frac{8.41}{\pi} * 12.5$

Take $\pi$ as 3.14

$V = \frac{1}{3} * \frac{8.41}{3.14} * 12.5$

$V = 11.15976$

$V = 11.2 cm^3$ ---- Approximated

Hence, the volume of the cone is; $V = 11.2 cm^3$

Which is true about the completely simplified difference of the polynomials a3b + 9a2b2 − 4ab5 and a3b − 3a2b2 + ab5? The differ

tamaranim1 [39]

<span>Let be A =a3b +9a2b2-4ab5, and B=a3b-3a2b2+ab5,so the difference can be defined as A - B =a3b +9a2b2-4ab5 -(a3b-3a2b2+ab5), when there is negative sign in front of the parathesis, all the inside signs must change: that is as follow: A- B= a3b +9a2b2-4ab5 - a3b + 3a2b2 - ab5= a3b-a3b +9a2b2+3a2b2-4ab5- ab5= 12a2b2 -5ab5, the fist term has 2+2=4, as a degree,the second term has 1 +5 =6, so the true answer : The difference is a binomial with a degree of 6</span>

In 154 N38 what digit should be replaced to N to make the number divisible by 3,6 and 9?

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

$N = 6$ so that number becomes divisible by 3, 6 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Number Theory there is a rule of thumb which states that sum of digits of a multiple of 3 equal 3 or a multiple of three. If we know that $n = 154N38$ , then its sum of digits is:
