Answer:

  • Emma made a mistake. The slope should be -40.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Pair of points (x, y):</u>

  • (165, 900) and (180, 300)

<u>Slope formula:</u>

  • m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

<u>Calculate the slope:</u>

  • Slope = (300 - 900)/(180 - 165) = -600/15 = -40

Find the diameter of a circle with an area of 226.98 square inches
Thepotemich [5.8K]

We are given here Area of circle as 226.98 square inches.

Formula to find area of circle is given as :

Area of circle = \pi r^{2}

plugging value of A as 226.98 square inches and pi as 3.14, we have

226.98 = (3.14) r^{2}

72.3 =  r^{2}

r=8.5

Now we know that diameter = 2 * radius.

multiplying radius with 2 we have 8.5*2 = 17

Answer : Diameter is 17 inches.

At one gas station, gas costs $2.75 per gallon. Write an equation that relates the total cost, C, to the number of gallons of ga
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The equation will be:

  • C = 2.75g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that at one station, gas costs $2.75 per gallon.

Let 'g' be the number of gallons of gas purchases

Let 'C' be the total cost

Thus, the expression for total cost can be generated by multiplying the price per gallon by the number of gallons.

Thus,

C = 2.75g

Therefore, the equation will be:

  • C = 2.75g

A kite has a height of 36 inches and a width of 30 inches. Explain how to use the area formula for a triangle to find the area o
natta225 [31]

Answer:

You can view a kite as 4 triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric kite can easily be viewed as 4 triangles.  The formula to calculate the area of a kite (width x height)/2 is very similar to the one of a triangle (base x height)/2.

According to the formula to calculate the area of a kite, we would get:

(36 x 30)/2 = 540.

If we take the approach of using 4 triangles, we could imagine a shape formed by 4 triangles measuring 18 inches wide with a height of 15.

The area of each triangle would then be: (18 x 15)/2 = 135

If we multiply this 135 by 4... we get 540.

What is the unit form of 9 ten thousands divided by 10
inysia [295]

we know that

Ten thousand is equal to----------> 10,000

so

9 ten thousands divided by 10 is equal to

\frac{9*10,000}{10} =\frac{90,000}{10} =9,000

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>
