Approximately 220 million tires are discarded in the U. S. each year. These tires present a disposal problem because they take up space, harbor pests, and have been known to catch fire. One tire can generate about 250,000 BTUs (1 BTU = 3 x 10-4 kWh) when it is burned. The average American home consumes about 10,000 kWh of electricity per year. How many tires would be needed to meet the annual electricity demand of ten homes for one year if the production of electricity from tires is 50% efficient?

2667 tires

Step-by-step explanation:

One tire can generate:

Considering efficiency of 50%, one tire can produce:

10 homes require electricity, amount of:

How many tires can cover this demand?

step-by-step explanation:

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq
