Answer 3

Oh wow this is worth a lot of point. I want to put every ounce of detail there can be.

Answer 4

*points

Answer 5

area = 0.5 ab sin C
where a and b are the 2 sides and C is the included angle

Answer 6

yes correct

Answer 7

For both?

Answer 8

There needs to be more detail I feel. What else should I put?

Answer 9

no thats ok

Answer 10

Its worth a ton of points, I think they need more information, that is what I am afraid of.

Answer 11

just write the formula then the calculation and the answer

Answer 12

2 work out the diameter of the basket ball first using circumference = pi* d

then the requtred distance is (30 - d) / 2

Answer 13

for first question, I got the same result

Answer 14

ooops sorry - i made a mistake in number 2

Answer 15

for the second question I got the same result

Answer 16

the required value = ( 18 - d)/2 where d = diameter of the basketball
and this comes to same as you got
