The diameter of a semicircle is 4 yards. The perimeter for a semicircle having a diameter of 4 yards is 10.28 yards.

The perimeter of a shape is the distance of the path or boundary that surrounds the shape.

The formula for the perimeter of a semicircle is πr + 2r

π(pie)=3.14

r(radius)=2 yards (∴ radius=1/2diameter)

∴ the perimeter of a semicircle = πr + 2r

                                                    = 3.14×2+2×2

                                                    =10.28 yards.

∴ The perimeter of a semicircle with a diameter of 4 yards is 10.28 yards.

Order of operation to simplify this expression as follows:

⇒ [tex]0.5625[/tex]

What is order of operation?

The best way to solve an expression is from left to right if all the operations are the same (for instance, only addition, only subtraction, only multiplication, or only division). However, we must adhere to the order of operations for expressions including several operations.

The rule that dictates how to solve an expression involving numerous operations is known as the order of operations.

PEMDAS can help you remember that sequence. In PEMDAS, each letter denotes a mathematical operation.

Given Expression is ; [tex]((1\div4+7\div 8)\times 1)\div 2[/tex]

Firstly we calculate the highest priority between(+,-, x, and [tex]\div[/tex])

Here, division is the highest priority ,

[tex]((0.25+7\div 8)\times 1)\div 2[/tex]

[tex]((0.25+0.875)\times 1)\div2[/tex]

and then we solve parathesis,

[tex](1.125\times 1)\div2[/tex]

The exact value of Cosθ is -1/√10 .

In the question ,

it is given that ,

the value of tanθ = 3/1 ,

that means the perpendicular = 3x

and the base of the triangle is = 1x,

So ,By Pythagoras Theorem

hypotnuse² = perpendicular² + base²

hypotnuse² = (3x)² + (1x)²

hypotnuse² = 9x² + 1x²

hypotnuse² = 10x²

hypotnuse = (√10)x

So , Cosθ = base / hypotnuse

Cosθ = 1x/(√10)x

Cosθ = 1/√10

Since , [tex]\theta[/tex] lies in the second quadrant ,

and in second quadrant Cos is negative ,

So , Cosθ = -1/√10

Therefore , The exact value of Cosθ is  -1/√10  .

The average monthly increase in net worth for the 6-month period is $1832.16.

Given:

A business started the year with a net worth of $4,873. During the first six months of the year, the business recovered and increased its net worth to a value of $15,866.

Six months net worth = 15,866 - 4873

= 10,993

Average monthly increase in net worth =  six month net worth / 6

= 10,993/6

= $1832.16.

Answer:

y=8 x=-19.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Start from the bottom equation and work your way upSolve the fourth equation for w-5w=-15-5w/(-5)=-15/(-5)w = 3 Then use that value of w to plug into the third equation. Notice we're going backwards or up the chain of equations. After w is replaced, solve for zz+w = 2z+3 = 2z+3-3 = 2-3z = -1 Now use z = -1 and w = 3 to plug into the second equation. Solve for y-2y-12z-4w = -16-2y-12(-1)-4(3) = -16-2y+12-12 = -16-2y = -16-2y/(-2) = -16/(-2)y = 8 

Use y = 8, z = -1, w = 3 to plug into the first equation. Solve for x:

This is a right-angled triangle, so one of the angles is 90 degrees + x +y

Therefore: 90 + y + x = 180

Substitute the variables:

90 + 40 + x = 180

130 + x =180

Subtract 130 from each side:

(-130) 130 + x =180 (-130)

The simplified form of the expression, 5³.5 will be 625.

In mathematics, integer exponents are exponents that should be integers. It may be a positive or negative number. In this situation, the positive integer exponents determine the number of times the base number should be multiplied by itself.

It is given that the expression is, 5³.5

=5³.5

The base should remain constant and the exponents added when multiplying like bases. Keep the base constant when raising a base with power to another power, and multiply the exponents instead. Keep the base constant and deduct the exponents in the denominator and numerator when dividing like bases.

Apply the law of exponent as

xᵃ × xᵇ = xᵃ⁺ᵇ

=5³⁺¹

=5⁴

=5x5x5x5

=625

Thus, the simplified form of the expression, 5³.5 will be 625.

The value of the exponent given as 24 - (5 + 3)^2 + 4 × 2^3 is -8.

An exponent is the number of times that a number is multiplied by itself. It should be noted that the power is an expression which shows the multiplication for the same number. For example, in 6⁴ , 4 is the exponent and 6⁴ is called 6 raise to the power of 4.

In this case, the value given will be expressed thus:

= 24 - (5 + 3)^2 + 4 × 2^3

= 24 - (8)² + 4 × 8

= 24 - 64 + 32

The seal's new position relative to the surface of the ocean is 47 meters below.

It is important to note that that question has to do with elevation which is the change in position with regards to the sea or ocean level.

In this case, the harbour seal dives 35 metres below the ocean's surface and then it dives down an additional 12 metres

The new position will be;

The coordinates of the point which divide the lines joining the pairs of points (5,8) and (-1,3) in the given ratio  2:3 is  (8,4).

Using the section formula, if a point (x,y) divides the line joining the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) in the ratio m:n, then

(x,y)=( (mx₂+nx₁)/m+n ,  (my₂+ny₁)/m+n )

Let the points be A(5,8) and B(-1, 3). Let a point P(x,y) divides AB in the ratio 2:3

Therefore, we have

P(x,y)=((2(-1) + 3x5)/(2+3) , (2(3) + 3x8)/(2+3))

P(x,y)=(2.6,6)

The root of the quadratic equation is 2x² + 7x + 6 is x = -2 and x = -3 / 2.

The roots of a quadratic equation are the values of the variable that satisfy the equation. They are also known as the "solutions" or "zeros" of the quadratic equation.

The equation to find the roots, is a quadratic equation.

Hence,

2x² + 7x + 6

2x² + 3x + 4x + 6

x(2x + 3) + 2(2x + 3)

Hence,

(x + 2)(2x + 3) = 0

Answer:

y=3x+25

Step-by-step explanation:

we need start by making slope intercept form

lets move the 12x after moving it we get

-4y=-12x+4 we need to remove the - 4 from the y so we need to divide the whole equation by - 4

we get y=3x-1

now we can create an equation to get the parallel line

y+2=3(x+9) now distribute

y+2=3x+27 and subtract the two

y=3x+25

The value of ∠FED is 120° and ∠CBD is complementary to ∠FDE

Complementary angles are two angles that sum up to 90°

For example 60° and 30° are complementary.

Either angle is called the complement of the other angle.

∠FED, ∠FDE and ∠DFE are in a triangle.

so,

∠FED + ∠FDE  +  ∠DFE = 180°

16x - 8 + 2x + 9 + 35 = 180 ( sum of angles in a triangle)

18x +36 = 180

18x = 180 - 36

18x = 144

x = 144/18

x = 8

so ∠FED = 16x - 8

Substitute x = 8 into the equation above we have

16(8) - 8 = 128 - 8 = 120°

∠FDE = 2x + 9

∠FDE = 2(8) + 9 = 25°

∠BED = 6x + 12

∠BED = 6(8) + 12

∠BED = 48 + 12

∠BED = 60°

∠CBD = -2x + 81

∠CBD = -2(8) + 81

∠CBD = 65°

so since ∠CBD = 65° and 90 - 65 = 25°

∠CBD is complementary to ∠FDE

In conclusion, ∠FED is 120° and ∠CBD is complementary to ∠FDE
