Alex the electrician needs 34 yards of electrical wire to complete his job. He has a coil of wiring in his workshop. The coiled

wire is 18 inches in diameter and is made up of 21 circles of wire. Will this coil be enough to complete the job? Let Pi be 3.14.

Answer: This coil will not be enough to complete the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of the coil of wiring can be calculated with:

C=2\pi r

Where r is the radius and \pi=3.14

The radius can be calculated by dividing the diameter by 2. Then:

r=\frac{18in}{2}\\\\r=9in

Convert 9 inches to yards (1 yard=36 inches):

(9in)(\frac{1yd}{36in})=0.25yd

Substitute this radius into the formula:

C=2(3.14)(0.25yd)\\C=1.57yd

Since there are 21 circles of wire, you need to multiply C=1.57yd by 21:

C_T=(1.57yd)(21)=32.97yd

The coil has 32.97 yards of wire and Alex needs 34 yards, therefore, this coil will not be enough  to complete the job.

That would be 1953.08
diameter = <span>circumference/pi, so reverse it and multiply 622 by 3.14</span>

Which is a y-intercept of the continuous function in the table? (0, –6) (–2, 0) (–6, 0) (0, –2)
photoshop1234 [79]

Y- intercept is a point where any graph crosses the y- axis.

X- intercept is a point where any graph crosses the x- axis.

This means the coordinate of the point of intersection will always have the x point as 0. So any point of the form ( 0, y) is the y- intercept. Any point of the form (x,0) is the x- intercept.

Given point are :

(0,-6) : y intercept

(-2,0) : x intercept

(-6,0): x- intercept

(0,-2): y- intercept

forsale [732]

Answer:

A and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we shall be evaluating the validity of the statements;

A. Yes, A is true

There are four even numbers 2,4,6 and 8 and 4 odd number 1,3,5,7; The landing should be equal at 125 each

B. This is wrong

It is supposed to land half of the number of time s which is half of 250 and that is 125

C.This is wrong

The numbers greater than 4 are 5,6,7,8

Now, the probability should be 4/8 = 1/2 and that is 50%

D. This is correct

Number of times we have a landing on odd numbers is 250-135 = 115

The experimental probability of landing on an odd number is thus 115/250 = 0.46 which is 46%
