How Do You Solve These Math Problems And What Are The Answers?
North High School will have its first graduating class in the year 2001. To celebrate, it has designed watches with a gold leaf sector between the 12 and the 1 as shown.
Next year's graduating class will have gold between the 12 and the 2 as shown. Each of the first twelve graduating classes will have a similar design. This way, when graduates meet other alumni many years from now, they will instantly be able to determine which year they graduated.
As student body president, Susan is concerned with the cost of the watches and needs to tell the jeweler the amount of gold each watch will require. If the radius of the face of the watch is 2 cm, help Susan out by making a table with the areas of gold leaf for each of the first 12 graduating classes.
If telephone poles (18 feet tall) suspend a telephone wire off the ground along the equator, how much longer than the equator would the wire be? (Ignore the sag between poles.)

For the watch question, find the area of the face of the watch.
It should be (pi)r^2= (pi)* (2cm)^2= 12.5664 cm^2, then divide that by 12, for the 12 equal portions the face is divided into and you get 1.0472 cm^2 for each section.
So the area of gold leaf for the 1st class is 1.0472 cm^2, 2nd class is 2*1.0472 cm^2, 3rd class is 3* 1.0472 cm^2, etc.
For the telephone pole question, work backwards using
2(pi)r = circumference to find the radius of the earth (you should get 1261.46 mi). Then and the height of the poles to the radius and use the same equation to find the circumference (length ) of the wire, and subtract the two. I think the difference is 113.097 mi.
Since the telephones are 18 feet tall and there would be one on each end of the diameter of the sphere, the diameter would be increased by 36 feet. If you slice the earth along the equator, you have a circle.
The diameter of the earth is 7926 mi. = 41,849,280 ft.
The circumference of the earth is 3.14(41849280) = 131,406,739.2 ft.
The diameter of the earth plus the telephone poles is 7,926mi. + 36 ft. = 41849280ft. + 36ft. = 41849316ft.
Now find the circumference of your circle using C = pi * d
C = 3.14(41849316) = 131,406,852.2 ft. for the circumference with the telephone poles.
Now subtract your circumference with the telephone poles – original circumference.
You’ll find that the wire would be 113 ft. longer than the equator.
I hope this is correct.
Your watch problem:
Calculate the area of the watch face – pi * r^2
1/12th of that is the area of the first sector
Add sectors until you’ve completed the table
Your wire problem:
The circumference of the earth at the equator is 2 * pi * r
The length of the wire circumscribing the equator is calculated by adding the height of the poles to the radius.
There are persons who don`t understand the math in life!
nicole sullivan is mad hot here
I should think that both of those problems are intertwined.
That was a very good come back 77hazzy, but I love the killers, a lot, and I really enjoyed the US version of this video. But I have to admit this version really isn’t very creative, sorry Brits. I am a little disappointed I must say =/

Promiscuous females may be the key to a species’ survival, according to new research. The study could solve the mystery of why females of most species have multiple mates, despite this being more risky for the individual.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – A federal judge on Friday delayed a $657.5 million settlement for workers who suffered health problems after the September 11, 2001, attacks, saying the process must be transparent and lawyers fees should not be drawn from the funds.
#dontyouhate when some1 answers your question with ANOTHER question?! Like "u hungry?" n they reply "y,are you hungry?"…isn't that obvious
where is the time going today??? ive been havin major motivational problems today! time to finally get out this house!
I find it very useful. Doesnt matter if you need an answer for your sunday cross word puzzle or if you´re at a conference and need a very specific answer to a complex question, within minutes the answers are dropping in from around the world. Rather amazing really.
You have to use a little bit of algebra, not complicated algebra. Depending on some of the certain problems, you have to manipulate it to switch variables around. It isn't that hard but the formulas you have to memorize make it a tiny bit more difficult. It's basically just intermediate math and basic algebra. Hope this helps.
I don’t think you need to chart that one to figure it out…
- so happy for these boys
just got out of my math class
(2x+1)y=x+1
2xy+y=x+1
2xy-x=1-y
x(2y-1)=1-y
x=(1-y)/(2y-1)
