Answer: 25 litres
Step-by-step explanation: If it takes 5 litres of diesel to cover 25km, it means it will take more litres to cover 125km. So you have to divide 125km by 25km then you will get 5 which you will then multiply by 5 litres to get 25 litres of diesel.

Find the area of the shaded region if the dimensions of the unshaded region are 18ft x 22ft. Use 3.14 for π as necessary.
A. 1,419.84 ft²
B. 1,111.84 ft²
C. 709.92 ft²
D. 957.84 ft²
See the attached picture:
Answer:
Answer is option B. 1,111.84 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
The given dimensions of the un shaded region or rectangle are 18 feet x 22 feet.
Now we have additional 7 feet at both ends to form the diameter of the semicircle, making it [tex]14+18=32[/tex] feet
Radius = [tex]\frac{32}{2}=16[/tex] feet
We have 2 semicircles, one at each end. If we combine it it forms a circle.
Area of the circle (2 semicircles) = [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]
= [tex]3.14\times(16)^{2}[/tex] = 803.84 square feet
Now we will find the area of the shaded rectangles above and below the non shaded one. The length is 22 feet and width is 7 feet.
So, area = [tex]22\times7=154[/tex] square feet
We have 2 similar rectangles. So, area of both = [tex]2\times154=308[/tex] square feet
So, total area of shaded region = [tex]803.84+308=1111.84[/tex] square feet.

what’s the trapezoids missing length?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let CD = x
(x + 40)/2 = 31 The midline is 1/2 the sum of the 2 bases. multiply by 2 on both sides.
x + 40 = 31 * 2
x + 40 = 62 Subtract 40 from both sides.
x +40-40 = 62 - 40 Combine
x = 22
Check
(22 + 40)/2
62 / 2
31 = PQ
To find the missing length of a trapezoid with similar triangles inside, we use the ratio of the sides of the triangles, which is approximately 8.667 based on the provided lengths.
Explanation:When determining the missing length of a trapezoid, we need to consider the properties of similar triangles or the geometric shape of a trapezoid itself. The given information suggests a scenario where similar triangles are within a trapezoid and leads to a proportional relationship between the sides of the triangles. If a trapezoid has triangles within it that share an angle, the lengths of the corresponding sides of those triangles will be proportional.
Based on the data provided, if the long sides of the triangles are in the ratio of 13.0 in to 1.5 in, which simplifies to an approximate factor of 8.667, the bottom sides of the triangles - which are the parallel sides of the trapezoid - will also be in the same ratio. By finding the length of the shorter bottom side, we can divide the length of the longer bottom side by 8.667 to get the missing length on the shorter side.

A non-food crop is infected by pests on the 1st of a month. The pests infect the crop in such a way that the area infected doubles after each month. If the pests continue to infect the crop in this way, the non-food crop will be entirely infected after the sixth month.
After which month will one-eighth of the non-food crop be infected?
Answer:
After month 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you know that the crop will be completely infected after 6 months and the area infected doubles each month, you can work backwards. So picture the 6th month as 100%. Then, basically divide that percentage by 2 until you reach 1/8, or .125, or 12.5. So 100% (month 6) > 50% (month 5) > 25% (month 4) > 12.5% (month 3). So 12.5% is equal to 1/8 or .125, which is what you are trying to look for.
Hope this helps!
The non-food crop will be infected by one-eighth of the crop after 3 months.
What is the sum of n terms in a geometric sequence?The sum of n terms of a geometric sequence is given by the formula,
Sn = [a(1 - r^n)]/(1 - r)
Where r - a common ratio
a - first term
n - nth term
Sn - the sum of n terms
Calculation:Given that,
The crop is infected by pests.
The area infected doubles after each month. So, it forms a geometric progression or sequence.
The entire crop is infected after six months.
So, n = 6, r = 2(double) and consider a = x
Then the area of the infected crop after 6 months is,
S(6) = [x(1 - 2^6)]/(1 - 2)
= x(1 - 64)/(-1)
= -x(-63)
= 63x
So, after six months the area of the infected crop is about 63x
So, the one-eighth of the crop = 63x/8 = 7.875x
For one month the infected area = x (< one-eighth)
For two months it will be x + 2x = 3x (< one-eighth)
For three months it will be x + 2x + 4x = 7x ( < one-eighth)
For four months it will be x + 2x + 4x + 8x = 15x (> one-eighth)
So, the one-eighth of the crop will be infected after 3 months.

LOOK AT PICTURE. VOLUME OF CAN PROBLEM
Answer:
The correct answer is third option. 994
Step-by-step explanation:
Points to remember
Volume of cylinder = πr²h
Where 'r' is the radius and 'h' is the height of cylinder
From the given question we get the cylinder height and radius
The height h = 3 times the diameter of one ball
= 3 * 7.5 = 22.5 cm
Radius = half of the diameter of a ball
= 7.5/2 = 3.75 cm
To find the volume of cylinder
Volume of cylinder = πr²h
= 3.14 * 3.75² * 22.5
= 993.515 ≈ 994
The correct answer is third option. 994

B = 72°, b = 12, c = 8 (1 point)
Answer:
a=11.8,b=12,c=8,A=68.7°, B=72°, C= 39.3°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
b = 12
c= 8
a= ?
∠B= 72°
∠C= ?
∠A=?
To find the missing angle we will use law of sine:
a/sinA=b/sinB=c/sinC
Find m∠C.
b/sinB = c/sinC
Substitute the values:
12/sin72°=8/sinC
Apply cross multiplication.
12*sinC=sin72° * 8
sinC=0.951*8/12
sinC=7.608/12
sinC= 0.634
C= 39.3°
Now we know that the sum of angles = 180°
So,
m∠A+m∠B+m∠C=180°
m∠A+72°+39.3°=180°
m∠A=180°-72°-39.3°
m∠A= 68.7°
Now find the side a:
a/sinA=b/sinB
a/sin68.7°=12/sin72°
Apply cross multiplication:
a*sin72°=12*sin68.7°
a*0.951=12*0.931
a=0.931*12/0.951
a=11.172/0.951
a=11.75

30 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Weight of adult blue whale = [tex]9 \times 10^{4}[/tex] kilogram
Weight of an elephant = [tex]3 \times 10^{3}[/tex] kilogram
In order to find how many times a quantity is as compared to the other quantity, we divide the two. So here we have to divide the weight of adult blue whale by the wight of elephant.

William says that 15 yeas from now, his age will be 3 times his age 5 years ago. If x x represents William present age, complete the following sentence
A 15 years
B 18 years
C x-15=3(x-5)
D x+15=3(x-5)
Answer:
I don't know what the following sentence is:
But D is the equation to represent the situation
and A is what turns out to be his current age.
(If you want more help, on this question please post the following sentence).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the current age.
15 years from now his age is 3 times his age 5 years ago means we have the equation:
x+15=3(x-5)
(I added x to 15 because we said 15 years in the future)
Let's solve this to see if makes any sense just for fun:
Distribute:
x+15=3x-15
Add 15 on both sides:
x+30=3x
Subtract x on both sides:
30=2x
Divide both sides by 2:
15=x
So this means his current age is 15.
5 years ago his age would have been 10.
15 years in the future his age will be 30.
Is 30 equal to 3 times 10? Yes, it is! The equation does make sense.
Answer:
D,
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the present age of William, 15 years from now is x+15, and that is equal to 3 times 3() the age he had 5 years ago (x-5)., the equation is x+15=3(x-5)

Answer choices:
1. Greater than, less than, equal to
2. Safe, not safe
Answer:
The height of the tree is Greater than 50 feet, so Iva’s house is not safe
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the height of the tree
Let
h ----> the height of the tree
we know that
The tangent of angle of 50 degrees is equal to divide the opposite side to the angle of 50 degrees (height of the tree) by the adjacent side to the angle of 50 degrees (tree’s distance from the house)
so
tan(50°)=h/50
h=(50)tan(50°)=59.6 ft
therefore
The height of the tree is Greater than 50 feet, so Iva’s house is not safe

What is the equation of the new function???
Answer:
The correct answer option is C. [tex] g ( x ) = | x - 4 | + 6 [/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the transformation which shifts a function along the horizontal x axis is given by [tex]f(x+a)[/tex], while its [tex]f(x-a)[/tex] which shifts the function to the right side.
Here we are to shift the function 4 units to the right and 6 units up.
Therefore, the function will be:
[tex] g ( x ) = | x - 4 | + 6 [/tex]
Answer: Option C
[tex]g (x) = | x-4 | +6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have a main function and perform a transformation of the form
[tex]g (x) = f (x + h)[/tex]
So:
If [tex]h> 0[/tex] the graph of the function g(x) will be equal to the graph of f(x) displaced h units to the left
If [tex]h <0[/tex] the graph of the function g(x) will be equal to the graph of f(x) displaced h units to the right
Also if the transformation is done
[tex]g (x) = f(x) + k[/tex]
So
If [tex]k> 0[/tex] the graph of the function g(x) will be equal to the graph of f(x) displaced k units up
If [tex]k <0[/tex] the graph of the function g(x) will be equal to the graph of f(x) displaced k units downwards.
In this case the main function is [tex]f(x) = | x |[/tex] and moves 4 units to the right and 6 units to the top, then the transformation is:
[tex]g (x) = f (x-4) +6[/tex]
[tex]g (x) = | x-4 | +6[/tex]

Step 1 helps solve the equation, for it helps isolate the x, which is what you are solving for.
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS:
Step 1: Add 18 to both sides.
6x - 18 (+18) = 54 (+18)
6x = 54 + 18
6x = 72
Step 2: Divide 6 from both sides:
(6x)/6 = (72)/6
x = 72/6
x = 12
x = 12 is your answer.

A ball is dropped from the top of a building that is 1,000 feet high. Its height, in feet, as a function of the time, x, in seconds, after the ball was dropped, is given by the following equation, ƒ(x) = 1,000 - 16x 2. Which set of numbers is appropriate as the domain for this function?
Natural Numbers
Positive Real Numbers
Positive Integers
Positive Rational Numbers
Answer:
Positive real numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
The domain is all the possible values of x. Here, x represents the time that the ball falls.
Natural numbers are integers greater than 0 (1, 2, 3, etc.). However, the time doesn't have to be an integer (for example, x=1.5).
Positive integers are the same as natural numbers.
Positive rational numbers are numbers greater than 0 that can be written as a ratio of integers (1/1, 3/2, 2/1, etc.). However, the time can also be irrational (for example, x=√2).
Positive real numbers are numbers greater than 0 and not imaginary (don't contain √-1). This is the correct domain of the function.
The domain for the function ƒ(x) = 1,000 - 16x^2 is Positive Real Numbers.
The domain for the function ƒ(x) = 1,000 - 16x^2 is a set of Positive Real Numbers. This is because in real-world situations, such as the height of an object, negative time values do not make sense, and the function itself involves squaring x, which ensures that the result is positive. Therefore, the appropriate set of numbers as the domain for this function would be Positive Real Numbers.

expand and simplify 4(2x+3)+4(3x+2)
To expand and simplify the expression 4(2x+3)+4(3x+2), distribute the 4 to both sets of parentheses and combine like terms to get 20x + 20.
Explanation:To expand and simplify the expression 4(2x+3)+4(3x+2), we can use the distributive property of multiplication over addition. The distributive property states that for any numbers a, b, and c, a(b+c) = ab+ac.
First, we distribute the 4 to both terms inside the first set of parentheses: 4 * 2x + 4 * 3. This simplifies to 8x + 12. Then, we distribute the 4 to both terms inside the second set of parentheses: 4 * 3x + 4 * 2. This simplifies to 12x + 8.
Combining the like terms, the final simplified expression is: 8x + 12 + 12x + 8 = 20x + 20.

Unknown
Length of the radius = ?
Lets represent the radius by r
Solution
The circumference of a circle is the defined as the perimeter of a circle. The formula is given as:
Circumference of a circle = 2πr
Since the unknown is r, we make it the subject of the formula:
r = [tex]\frac{circumference of the circle}{2π}[/tex]
r = [tex]\frac{36}{2 x 3.142}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{36}{6.284}[/tex] = 5.73cm
Answer:
The radius = 18 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming that is 36π.
If so, then circumference = 2 π r and:
2 π r = 36 π
r = 36π / 2π
r = 18.
Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial?
22-5x-14
Answer:
The factors are the binomials (x - 7)(x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to factor a trinomial
- The trinomial ax² ± bx ± c has two factors (x ± h)(x ± k), where
# h + k = -b/a
# h × k = c/a
- The signs of the brackets depends on the sign of c at first then
the sign of b
# If c is positive, then the two brackets have the same sign
# If b is positive , then the signs of the brackets are (+)
# If b is negative then the sign of the brackets are (-)
# If c is negative , then the brackets have different signs
* Lets solve the problem
∵ The trinomial is x² - 5x - 14
∴ a = 1 , b = -5 and c = -14
∵ c is negative
∴ The brackets have different signs
∴ (x - h) (x + k) are the factors of the trinomial
∵ h + k = -5/1
∴ h + k = -5 ⇒ (1)
∵ h × k = -14/1
∴ h × k = -14 ⇒ (2)
- From (1) , (2) we search about two numbers their product is 14 and
their difference is 5 , they will be 7 and 2
∵ 7 × 2 = 14
∵ 7 - 2 = 5
- The sign of b is negative then we will put the greatest number in the
bracket of (-)
∴ h = 7 and k = 2
∴ The brackets are (x - 7)(x + 2)
* The factors are the binomials (x - 7)(x + 2)

∵ The width = x and the length = y
∴ The length of the fence = 2x + y
- The length of the fence = 1080 feet
∴ 2x + y = 1080
- Lets find y in terms of x
∵ 2x + y = 1080 ⇒ subtract 2x from both sides
∴ y = 1080 - 2x ⇒ (1)
- The area of the garden = Length × width
∴ The area of the garden is A = xy
- To find the greatest area we will differentiate the area of the garden
with respect to x and equate the differentiation by zero to find the
value of x which makes the area greatest
∵ A = xy
- Use equation (1) to substitute y by x
∵ y = 1080 -2x
∴ A = x(1080 - 2x)
∴ A = 1080x - 2x²
# Remember
- If y = ax^n, then dy/dx = a(n) x^(n-1)
- If y = ax, then dy/dx = a (because x^0 = 1)
∵ A = 1080x - 2x²
∴ dA/dx = 1080 - 2(2)x
∴ dA/dx = 1080 - 4x
- To find x equate dA/dx by 0
∴ 1080 - 4x = 0 ⇒ add 4x to both sides
∴ 1080 = 4x ⇒ divide both sides by 4
∴ x = 270
- Substitute the value of x in equation (1) to find the value of y
∵ y = 1080 - 2x
∴ y = 1080 - 2(270) = 1080 - 540 = 540
∴ y = 540
* The shorter side is 270 feet
* The longer side is 540 feet
∵ The area of the garden is A = xy
∴ The greatest area is A = 270 × 540 = 145800 feet²
* The greatest possible area is 145800 feet²
