The correct value of volume of the pyramid is 48 cubic inches.

To find the volume of the solid oblique pyramid, we can use the formula V = (1/3) * Base Area * Height. The base of the pyramid is a triangle, and the height is given as 6 inches.The formula for the area of a triangle is (1/2) * base * height. In this case, the base length is 8 inches and the height is 6 inches. Base Area = (1/2) * 8 * 6 = 24 square inches

Now, we can calculate the volume of the pyramid:

V = (1/3) * Base Area * Height

V = (1/3) * 24 * 6

V = 48 cubic inches

The midpoint of AB is M(-4,2). If the coordinates of A are (-7,3), and the coordinates of B is (-1, 1).

To find the coordinates of point B, we can use the midpoint formula, which states that the coordinates of the midpoint between two points (A and B) can be found by averaging the corresponding coordinates.

Let's denote the coordinates of point A as (x1, y1) and the coordinates of point B as (x2, y2). The midpoint M is given as (-4, 2).

Using the midpoint formula, we can set up the following equations:

(x1 + x2) / 2 = -4

(y1 + y2) / 2 = 2

Substituting the coordinates of point A (-7, 3), we have:

(-7 + x2) / 2 = -4

(3 + y2) / 2 = 2

Simplifying the equations:

-7 + x2 = -8

3 + y2 = 4

Solving for x2 and y2:

x2 = -8 + 7 = -1

y2 = 4 - 3 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the sum of digits of the largest number that divides 1305, 4665, and 6905 with the same remainder.

We can look at 4665/1305 ≈ 3.57 and 6905/1305 ≈ 5.29 for a clue as to the divisor of interest. These quotients tell us that one possibility is the value that would give quotients of 4 and 6 after the remainder is subtracted from each of the numbers.

For 1305 and 4665, if r is the remainder, we require ...

  4(1305 -r) = 4665 -r

  5220 -4665 = 4r -r

  555/3 = r = 185

If 185 is the remainder in this scenario, then 1305 -185 = 1120 is the divisor. Checking the remainder with 6905, we find ...

  6905/1120 = 6 r 185

The sum of digits of this divisor is 1 + 1 + 2 + 0 = 4.

The sum of the digits in N is 4.

Hope this helps and have a nice day

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote the total number of boxes the hawker bought as "x".

The cost of each box is R18, so the total cost of buying "x" boxes is 18x.

He sold all but 5 boxes, so he sold (x - 5) boxes at R25 per box. The revenue from selling these boxes is 25 * (x - 5).

The profit is calculated by subtracting the cost from the revenue, so we have:

Profit = Revenue - Cost

155 = 25 * (x - 5) - 18x

Simplifying the equation:

155 = 25x - 125 - 18x

155 + 125 = 25x - 18x

280 = 7x

Dividing both sides by 7:

x = 280 / 7

x = 40

Therefore, the hawker bought 40 boxes of tomatoes.

a. An equation to describe the total cost of RV rental:

b. Comparing the two costs will determine which option is cheaper.

c. For the more direct route: m ≤ 3500

For fewer overnight stays: d ≤ 14

These domains ensure that we don't exceed the original values for miles and days.

d. I recommend compromising by lessening the number of days of the rental. By reducing the rental period to 11 days, you can stay within the $5,000 budget while still allowing your little sister to take the two-week trip.

a. To write an equation for the total cost of RV rental, we can use the given information. The cost per day is $125, and there is an additional charge of 32 cents per mile. Let's denote the number of days as d and the number of miles as m. The equation for the total cost of RV rental can be written as:

Cost = (125 * d) + (0.32 * m) + 2500

b. To compare the costs of the two options, we need to calculate the total cost for each. Option 1 has 3500 miles and takes 11 days, while option 2 has 3000 miles and takes 14 days. We can substitute these values into the equation from part a to find the total costs for each option. Comparing the two costs will determine which option is cheaper.

c. To compromise and stay within a budget of $5,000, we can adjust either the number of miles or the number of days. For the more direct route, we can reduce the number of miles, and for fewer overnight stays, we can reduce the number of days. The domains for these compromises would be:

For the more direct route: m ≤ 3500

For fewer overnight stays: d ≤ 14

These domains ensure that we don't exceed the original values for miles and days.

d. To find the number of miles or days to eliminate in order to stay under the $5,000 budget, we can set up equations using the total cost equation from part a. Let's denote the reduced number of miles as m' and the reduced number of days as d'. We need to solve the following equation for each compromise:

(125 * d') + (0.32 * m') + 2500 ≤ 5000

By substituting the appropriate values into the equation and solving for m' or d', we can determine how many miles or days need to be eliminated.

Based on the given information, I recommend compromising by lessening the number of days of the rental. By reducing the rental period to 11 days, you can stay within the $5,000 budget while still allowing your little sister to take the two-week trip.

The function Sam can use to figure his total earnings for the day, based on the number of people he serves, is E(n) = 42 + 5n.

To calculate Sam's total earnings for the day, we need to consider both his hourly wages and the tips he receives based on the number of people he serves. Let's break it down step by step.

First, we know that Sam earns $7 per hour as his wage. Since he works for 6 hours, his earnings from wages alone would be $7 multiplied by 6, which equals $42.

Next, Sam also earns about $5 in tips for each person he serves. We can represent the number of people Sam serves as "n". Therefore, his total tip earnings would be $5 multiplied by "n", which gives us 5n.

To calculate Sam's total earnings for the day, we add his earnings from wages and tips together. So the function representing his total earnings, "E", can be written as:

E(n) = 7(6) + 5n

Answer:

AB = √3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ABCD is a rectangle, all angles are 90°

∠CDA = 90°

⇒ ∠CDB + ∠BDA = 90

⇒ ∠BDA = 60

In ΔABD,

sin(∠BDA) = opposite/ hypotenuse = AB / BD

⇒ sin(60) = AB/2

⇒ AB = 2 sin(60)

⇒ AB = 2 (√3)/2

AB = √3

To show that ABC ≅ AXYZ by SAS, we would need to establish that angle BAC ≅ angle XYZ.

To prove that triangles ΔXYZ and ΔFEG are congruent using the ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) or AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) congruence criteria, we need to show that they share certain corresponding angles and sides.

In ASA, we would need to show that both triangles have two congruent angles and the included side between those angles is congruent. In AAS, we would need to demonstrate that two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of the other triangle, and a pair of non-included sides are congruent.

Additional information that could be used to prove the congruence of ΔXYZ and ΔFEG using ASA or AAS includes:

1. Angle X = Angle F: If we can show that angle X in triangle ΔXYZ is congruent to angle F in triangle ΔFEG, we have one angle congruence.

2. Angle Y = Angle E: If we can demonstrate that angle Y in triangle ΔXYZ is congruent to angle E in triangle ΔFEG, we have the second angle congruence.

3. Side XY = Side FE: If we can prove that side XY in triangle ΔXYZ is congruent to side FE in triangle ΔFEG, we have the included side congruence.

Alternatively:

4. Angle Z = Angle G: If we can show that angle Z in triangle ΔXYZ is congruent to angle G in triangle ΔFEG, we have the second angle congruence in AAS.

5. Angle Y = Angle E: If we can demonstrate that angle Y in triangle ΔXYZ is congruent to angle E in triangle ΔFEG, we have the second angle congruence in AAS.

6. Side XZ = Side FG: If we can prove that side XZ in triangle ΔXYZ is congruent to side FG in triangle ΔFEG, we have a pair of non-included side congruence.

The difference in size between the two guys is approximately -0.3108 inches, which implies that the first guy is bigger than the second guy.

To calculate the difference in size between two people, one measuring in inches and the other measuring in centimeters, we must first convert all measurements to a common unit.

Guy measures 3 inches + 1/4 inch. We can convert 1/4 inch to a decimal fraction by dividing 1 by 4, which gives us 0.25 inches. So your measurement in inches would be 3 + 0.25 = 3.25 inches.

The other guy measures 9.045 cm. To convert centimeters to inches, we use the following relationship: 1 cm = 0.3937 inches. Multiplying the measurement in centimeters by 0.3937, we get the measurement in inches: 9.045 cm * 0.3937 = 3.5608 inches (approximately).

Now we can calculate the size difference between them. We subtract the measurement of the second chavo (3.5608 inches) from the measurement of the first chavo (3.25 inches):

3.25 inches - 3.5608 inches = -0.3108 inches.

The resulting difference is -0.3108 inches. This means that the second chavo is smaller in size than the first. Since the difference is negative, it indicates that the first chavo is bigger than the second.

In summary, the difference in size between the two guys is approximately -0.3108 inches, which implies that the first guy is bigger than the second guy.

Answer:

A: the probability that a 1 is received is 0.56.

B:  the probability that a 0 was sent given that a 1 is received is (2/25) * (1 - P(0 sent)).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use conditional probabilities and the concept of Bayes' theorem.

a. To find the probability that a 1 is received, we need to consider the two possibilities: either a 1 was sent and remained unchanged, or a 0 was sent and got flipped to a 1 by the random error.

Let's denote:

P(1 sent) = 0.6 (probability a 1 is sent)

P(0→1) = 0.2 (probability a 0 is flipped to 1)

P(1 received) = ?

P(1 received) = P(1 sent and unchanged) + P(0 sent and flipped to 1)

= P(1 sent) * (1 - P(0→1)) + P(0 sent) * P(0→1)

= 0.6 * (1 - 0.2) + 0.4 * 0.2

= 0.6 * 0.8 + 0.4 * 0.2

= 0.48 + 0.08

= 0.56

Therefore, the probability that a 1 is received is 0.56.

b. If a 1 is received, we want to find the probability that a 0 was sent. We can use Bayes' theorem to calculate this.

Let's denote:

P(0 sent) = ?

P(1 received) = 0.56

We know that P(0 sent) + P(1 sent) = 1 (since either a 0 or a 1 is sent).

Using Bayes' theorem:

P(0 sent | 1 received) = (P(1 received | 0 sent) * P(0 sent)) / P(1 received)

P(1 received | 0 sent) = P(0 sent and flipped to 1) = 0.4 * 0.2 = 0.08

P(0 sent | 1 received) = (0.08 * P(0 sent)) / 0.56

Since P(0 sent) + P(1 sent) = 1, we can substitute 1 - P(0 sent) for P(1 sent):

P(0 sent | 1 received) = (0.08 * (1 - P(0 sent))) / 0.56

Simplifying:

P(0 sent | 1 received) = 0.08 * (1 - P(0 sent)) / 0.56

= 0.08 * (1 - P(0 sent)) * (1 / 0.56)

= 0.08 * (1 - P(0 sent)) * (25/14)

= (2/25) * (1 - P(0 sent))

Therefore, the probability that a 0 was sent given that a 1 is received is (2/25) * (1 - P(0 sent)).

A message is coded into the binary symbols 0 and 1 and the message is sent over a communication channel. The probability a 0 is sent is 0.4 and the probability a 1 is sent is 0.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the equation h(t) = -4.9t^2 + vt + h0, where h0 is the initial height of the rock, v is the initial velocity and t is time in seconds, to solve the problem.

h0 = 43 meters (the top of the cliff)

v = 11 meters per second (upwards direction)

To find the time when the rock is 10 meters from ground level, we set h(t) = 10 meters and solve for t:

10 = -4.9t^2 + 11t + 43

0 = -4.9t^2 + 11t + 33

Solving this quadratic equation, we get t = 4.04 seconds or t = 1.37 seconds.

Since the rock is thrown upwards, it will be 10 meters from ground level twice - once on the way up and once on the way down. We can discard the negative time answer as that would correspond to when the rock is thrown from the ground.

Therefore, the rock will be 10 meters from ground level after 4.04 seconds (on the way down).

For `n=3`, `λ3 = 3a2 + 4 = 3(12) + 4 = 40`. For `n=4`, `λ4 = 4a3 + 4 = 4(40) + 4 = 164`. For `n=5`, `λ5 = 5a4 + 4 = 5(164) + 4 = 824`.

Hence, the value of `a5 = λ5 = 824`.Therefore, the value of `a5` is 824.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these problems, we can use the Poisson probability formula:

P(x; λ) = (e^(-λ) * λ^x) / x!

Where:

P(x; λ) is the probability of x events occurring

e is the base of the natural logarithm (approximately 2.71828)

λ is the average rate of events occurring in the given time period

x is the number of events

(a) Probability of exactly 4 orders arriving in 30 minutes:

The average rate of orders is given as 5 orders per hour. To find the average rate of orders in 30 minutes, we divide it by 2 (since 30 minutes is half an hour):

λ = 5 orders/hour / 2 = 2.5 orders/30 minutes

Using the Poisson probability formula:

P(x = 4; λ = 2.5) = (e^(-2.5) * 2.5^4) / 4!

Calculating this:

P(x = 4; λ = 2.5) ≈ (0.082 * 39.0625) / 24

P(x = 4; λ = 2.5) ≈ 3.22265625 / 24

P(x = 4; λ = 2.5) ≈ 0.134

Therefore, the probability that exactly 4 orders will arrive in 30 minutes is approximately 0.134, or 13.4%.

(b) Probability of at least 2 orders arriving in an hour:

To find the probability of at least 2 orders, we need to calculate the probabilities of having 0 and 1 order and subtract it from 1 (since it's the complement).

Using the Poisson probability formula:

P(x = 0; λ = 5) = (e^(-5) * 5^0) / 0! = e^(-5) ≈ 0.0067

P(x = 1; λ = 5) = (e^(-5) * 5^1) / 1! ≈ 0.0337

P(at least 2 orders) = 1 - P(x = 0) - P(x = 1) ≈ 1 - 0.0067 - 0.0337 ≈ 0.9596

Therefore, the probability of at least 2 orders arriving in an hour is approximately 0.9596, or 95.96%.
