- Reading pages
Tomáš and Lukáš read the same book. Tomas read 21 pages a day and read it one day earlier than Luke, who read 18 pages a day. How many pages did the book have? - Circumference - circles
Circle K has a radius of 130 mm, and circle L has a diameter of 50 mm. By how many millimeters is the circumference of circle K greater than the circumference of circle L? Round the result to a whole number. Use the value π= 3.14 in the calculations. - Grassland and goat
An unfenced grassland is a right triangle ABC with AB = 4m, BC = 8m, and AC as hypotenuse. A goat is tied to a 5-m long rope with its stake at point O, which is 2m from side AB and 2m from the prolongation of side BC through corner B. Then: 1. How far is - Ratio of triangles areas
In an equilateral triangle ABC, the point T is its center of gravity, the point R is the image of the point T in axial symmetry along the line AB, and the point N is the image of the point T in axial symmetry along the line BC. Find the ratio of the areas - Rhombus calculation complete
The rhombus has the dimensions a = 9.1 cm; b = 8 cm; height to side a: va = 7.3 cm. Calculate the circumference, area, and size of the second height. - Water reservoir
