A number of possible explanations for why manhole covers are round include :

1. A round manhole cover cannot fall through its circular opening, whereas a square, rectangular, or oval manhole cover could fall in if it were inserted diagonally in the hole.

2. Circular covers don’t need to be rotated or precisely aligned when placing them on the opening.

3. A round manhole cover is easily moved and rolled.

4. Human beings have a roughly circular cross-section.

5. Round tubes are the strongest shape against the compression of the earth around them, so the cover of the tube would naturally be round as well.

6. It’s easier to dig a circular hole.

Sport played on horseback is called as Polo. It is the national sport of Iran.

Given equation  5x-17 = -x+7

Add 1x to each side of the equation

6x=24

x=4

Indeterminate are those,which mathematics can’t determine.

Because we don’t actually know which one is the exact answer for this due to having lots of results for this.

Explanation::

• Let us think by this analogy that,

0 / 1 = 0

0 / 2 = 0

…………

………..

we can say 0 / n = 0 from this we can write, 0/0 = 0

• Again, another analogy,(from limiting concept of 1/0 = infinity)

1 / 0 = +∞ or -∞

2 /0 = +∞ or -∞

………

.…….

we can say 0 / 0 = ∞

• Again, another analogy,

1 / 1 = 1

2/2 = 1

.……..

………..

we can say, 0/0 = 1

Now, you see it’s confusing. Every analog is mathematically correct then which one is the right answer for 0/0.  Therefore Mathematics can’t determine this fact.

So, 0/0 is indeterminate.
