A certain machine is to contain two wheels, one of radius 2 inches and one of radius 8 inches. The manufacturer of this machine needs to produce a belt that will fit snugly around the two wheels, as shown in the diagram below. How long should the belt be?

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the belt is the length around 2 inch radius wheel PLUS length around 8 inch radius wheel.

The length around a circular region is its circumference. The formula is:

Where

C is circumference

r is the radius

We sum up both, given first one radius is 2 and second one radius is 8, so we have:

The length of the belt should be around 62.83 inches

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b

you just switch the numbers basically so it would be 3/17
