John drove his car due east for 8 miles. He then turned south and drove 15 miles. How far was he from where he started?
Answer:
John was 17 miles away from where he started.
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest approach to this problem is to draw it out (check the attached image). Going East and turning South is the same as drawing a line towards the right, and then down on the paper.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we know that the sum of the square of the legs (2 smallest sides of a right triangle) is equal to the square of the hypotenuse of that triangle. In other words, [tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex].
So to solve this, work backwards:
[tex]8^{2}+15^{2} =c^{2}\\64 + 225 = c^{2}\\289 = c^{2}\\c = \sqrt{289}\\ c = 17[/tex]
The distance between the initial and final point will be 17 miles.
What is a Pythagoras theorem?The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.
This can be expressed as
H² = P² + B²
John drove his car due east for 8 miles.
He then turned south and drove 15 miles.
Then the distance between the initial and final point will be
H² = 8² + 15²
H² = 64 + 225
H² = 289
H = 17 miles

38 is 90 percent of what
Answer:
42.22 (2 repeating)
Step-by-step explanation:
When you are given percentage problems, you deal with the percent (%), base (amount you are starting with), and the amount.
Starting with the most basic equation,
Percent * Base = Amount
In this problem, you are given the amount (38) and the percent (90)
So to find the base, you can do
Base = Amount / Percent
As always, convert the percent to a decimal by dividing by 100.
38/ 0.9 = 42.222 repeating
Answer:
38 is 90 Percent of What Number?

Which is larger, 9 kilograms or 8,500 grams?
Answer: 9 kilograms
Step-by-step explanation:
9 kilograms is larger because the kilogram, or kilogramme, is the base unit of weight in the Metric system. It is the approximate weight of a cube of water 10 centimeters on a side. While a gram is a unit of weight equal to 1/1000th of a kilogram. A gram is the approximate weight of a cubic centimeter of water.

Find the missing side
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the sides and c is the hypotenuse
15^2 + b^2 = 25^2
225 + b^2 = 625
b^2 = 625 -225
b^2 =400
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(400)
b = 20

In a computer catalog, a computer monitor is listed as being 25 inches. If the height of the screen is 15 inches, what is the area of the screen to the nearest inch?
Answer: 20inch
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Pythagoras theorem:-
25^2 = 15^2 + x^2 where x = the width of the screen.
625 = 225 + x^2
x = √(625 - 225) = √400

Probability of drawing one yellow ball from a box containing 20 blue balls, 15 white balls and 10 yellow
Answer:
[tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of successful outcomes by the number of total outcomes. In an algebraic expression, that would be [tex]\frac{successful}{total}[/tex].
In this case, there are a total of [tex]20+15+10=45[/tex] ways to choose any ball, since there are [tex]45[/tex] balls in the box. However, only [tex]10[/tex] are yellow, so there are [tex]10[/tex] ways to successfully choose a yellow ball. Therefore, the probability of choosing a yellow ball is [tex]\frac{10}{45}=\frac{2}{9}[/tex]. Hope this helps!

18 percent of people in a city eligible to donate blood actually do. You randomly select four eligible blood donors and ask them if they donate blood. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
Answer:
[tex]P(x = 1) = 0.3970[/tex]
[tex]P(x = 2) = 0.1307[/tex]
[tex]P(x = 3) = 0.0191[/tex]
[tex]P(x = 4) = 0.0011[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]n =4[/tex]
[tex]p = 0.18[/tex]
Required
(a) - (d)
x | P(x)
0 | 0.452
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
To solve (a) to (d), we simply apply the following binomial probability formula
[tex]P(x) = ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
Solving (a):
[tex]x = 1[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]P(x = 1) = ^4C_1 * (0.18)^1 * (1-0.18)^{4-1}[/tex]
[tex]P(x = 1) = ^4C_1 * (0.18)^1 * (1-0.18)^{4-1}[/tex]
[tex]P(x = 1) = 4 * (0.18)^1 * (1-0.18)^3[/tex]
[tex]P(x = 1) = 0.3970[/tex]
Solving (b):
[tex]x = 2[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]P(x = 2) = ^4C_2 * (0.18)^2 * (1-0.18)^{4-2}[/tex]
[tex]P(x = 2) = 6 * (0.18)^2 * (1-0.18)^2[/tex]
[tex]P(x = 2) = 0.1307[/tex]
Solving (c):
[tex]x = 3[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]P(x = 3) = ^4C_3 * (0.18)^3 * (1-0.18)^{4-3}[/tex]
[tex]P(x = 3) = 4 * (0.18)^3 * (1-0.18)^1[/tex]
[tex]P(x = 3) = 0.0191[/tex]
Solving (d)
[tex]x = 4[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]P(x = 4) = ^4C_4 * (0.18)^4 * (1 - 0.18)^{4-4}[/tex]
[tex]P(x = 4) = 1 * (0.18)^4 * (1 - 0.18)^0[/tex]
[tex]P(x = 4) = 0.0011[/tex]
Please help! would really appreciate it.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagorean theorem,
Base² + altitude² = hypotenuse²
15² + altitude² = 17²
225 + altitude² = 289
altitude² = 289 - 225
altitude² = 64
altitude² = 8²
altitude = √8²
altitude = 8
P = 8 + 15 + 17 = 40 units
[tex]A= \frac{1}{2}*base * height\\\\ = \frac{1}{2}* 15 * 8\\\\= 15 * 4\\\\= 60 sq. units[/tex]

what is the common ratio? {250, 50, 10, 2...}
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The common ration can be found by dividing the 2nd number from the 1st number:
250 / 50
which equals 5
250 / 50 = 5
you can do this by any number, for example:
50 / 10 =5
10 / 2 = 5
Which expression is equivalent to 2 (a + 2 b) minus a minus 2 b? 3 a + 2 b 3 a minus 2 b a minus 2 b a + 2 b
Answer:

2(a+2b) - a-2b
Open the bracket
2a+(2)2b- a-2b
2a+4b - a-2b
Collect the like terms
2a-a+4b-2b

What is the slope of the line?
What is the y-intercept?
Write the equation of the line
Answer:
slope is 2
y-intercept is 3
equation y=2x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
slope=4/2 or 2
y-intercept=3
equation=y=2x+3
the slope would be 4/2 because if you do the triangle method you see that the vertical distance of y is 4 and the horizontal distance of x is 2 so that gives you 4/2 the y intercept is where the line starts at 0 which you can see is 3. if the equation is y=mx+b you plug in the slope which is 4/2 or 2 and plug in the y-intercept which is 3 which gives you y=2x+3
Which of the following choices shows the equation solved for y
7x + 2y = 10
1. y = -7/2x + 5
2. y = 7/2x +10
3. y = 7/2x + 5
4. y = -7x + 10
Answer:
#1; [tex]y = -\frac{7}{2}x+5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]7x+2y=10[/tex]
[tex]2y = -7x + 10[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2y}{2} = -\frac{7x}{2} + \frac{10}{2}[/tex]
[tex]y = -\frac{7}{2}x + 5[/tex]
