The approximate length of arc QR to nearest tenth is 9.9cm

Length of an arc

The formula for calculating the length of an arc is expressed as:

L = r theta

where

r is the radius of an arc = 20cm/2 = 10cm

theta = 180 - 123 = 57 degrees

Determine the length of an arc

L = 10(57π/180)
L = 57π/18
L = 9.94cm

Hence the approximate length of arc QR to nearest tenth is 9.9cm

The sum of multiples of five from 10 to 75, inclusive.

Answers

The asked sum of multiples of five from 10 to 75, inclusive, is 595.

To find the sum of multiples of five from 10 to 75, inclusive, we can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series:

Sum = (n/2) * ([first term] + [last term])

Following the given case, the first term (a) is 10, the last term (l) is 75, and the common difference (d) between consecutive terms is 5 (since we are considering multiples of five).

The number of terms (n) can be calculated as:

n = (last term - first term) / common difference + 1

Let's calculate the number of terms first:

n = (75 - 10) / 5 + 1

n = 65 / 5 + 1

n = 13 + 1

n = 14

Now, we can determine the sum of the multiples of five:

Sum = (14/2) * (first term + last term)

Sum = 7 * (10 + 75)

Sum = 7 * 85

Sum = 595

Therefore, the asked sum of multiples of five from 10 to 75, inclusive, is 595.

The height of the kite will be 53.32 feet above the ground.

What is trigonometry?

The branch of mathematics sets up a relationship between the sides and the angles of the right-angle triangle is termed trigonometry.

Given that:-

The boy is flying a kite, holding his hands a distance of 3.5 feet above the ground andletting all the kite's strings play out. He measures the angle of elevation from his hand to the kite to be 29°. If the string from the kite to his hand is 110 feet long, what is the total vertical height?

The height of the kite above the ground will be calculated as:-

[tex]Sin\theta = \dfrac{perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]Sin(29)=\dfrac{H}{110}[/tex]

H = Sin(29)  x  110

H  = 53.32 feet

The hand of the boy is 3.5 above the ground so the total height H(t) of the kite above the ground will be:-

H(t)  = 53.232  +  3.5

H(t)  = 56.28 feet.

Therefore the height of the kite will be 53.32 feet above the ground.

The four fundamental operations of arithmetic are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of two or even more items.

Included in them is the study of integers, especially the order of operations, which is important for all other areas of mathematics,  notably algebra, data management, and geometry.

As per the given information in the question,

The population density is the ratio of the total population to the total area.

Total population of Chicago = 2,707,120

The land area of Chicago = 227.635

Then, the population density of Chicago will be:

= 2,707,120/227.635

= 11892.37

Total population of Los Angeles =  3,819,702

The land area of Los Angeles = 468.670

Then, the population density of Los Angeles will be:

= 3,819,702/468.670

= 8150.08

Then, the difference between Chicago and Los Angeles will be:

What is the value of x in the figure below?

Answers

Answer:

The value of x in the figure is 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

When we look at the figure, we see that AB and BC, are connected, to make a longer side of a triangle. We can also see that BC is dilated from AB. When dilating, we multiply or divide by a number, to get the extended or shortened length. (Just keep multiplication and division in mind)                    To get x, we can do the same that we did to get 2, from 4. From AB to BC it goes from 4 to 2.

To get 2 from 4, you must divide 4 by 2. So when we do the same thing to 7, we should get x.

7 / 2 = 3.5

The value of x in the figure is 3.5

Answers

The histogram includes data from a voluntary response sample which is not representative of the population.

How to interpret Histograms?

A histogram is a chart that represents numerical data using bars. The dataset is split into intervals, each interval is represented by a bar, and the number of variables in each interval makes up the frequency for that interval.

From the histogram attached, we can see that there is a huge gap from around 17000 miles to 32500 miles.

Now, when we have this kind of gap it means that the histogram includes data from a voluntary response sample which is not representative of the population.
