Nick is undertaking an expedition across the desert from A to B. In order to complete his journey he starts at A, walks 7km West and then 24km North until he arrives at B. How much shorter would Nick's journey have been if he had gone by the shortest route across the desert?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Shorting distance = 6 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance walk = 7 km west

Distance walk = 24 km north

Find:

Shorting distance

Computation:

Using Pythagorean theorem:

Magnitude AB = √AC² + BC²

Magnitude AB = √7² + 24²

Magnitude AB = √49 + 576

Magnitude AB = 25 Km

Total distance Nick walk = 7 km + 24 km

Total distance Nick walk = 31 km

Shorting distance = 31 km - 25 km

Shorting distance = 6 km

For a trapezoid, the midsegment is one-half of...
a) the opposing leg

b) the square of the largest leg

c) the same as the smallest leg.

d)the sum of the bases

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, the mid segment of a trapezoid is exactly the average of the 2 parallel bases

What this means is that to find the length of the trapezoid, we will need to find the average of the two parallel bases

Mathematically, this is same as adding the two bases and dividing the result by 2.

Hence we can say it is exactly one-half the length of the sum of the two parallel bases

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 20 ft3 /min and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shape of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. How fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 15 ft high

Answers

Answer:

The height of the pile is increasing at the rate of  [tex]\mathbf{ \dfrac{20}{56.25 \pi} \ \ \ \ \ ft/min}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 20 ft³ /min

i.e [tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt}= 20 \ ft^3/min[/tex]

we know that radius r is always twice the   diameter d

i.e d = 2r

Given that :

the shape of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal.

then d = h = 2r

h = 2r

r = h/2

The volume of a cone can be given by the formula:

[tex]V = \dfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}[/tex]

[tex]V = \dfrac{\pi (h/2)^2 h}{3}[/tex]

[tex]V = \dfrac{1}{12} \pi h^3[/tex]

[tex]V = \dfrac{ \pi h^3}{12}[/tex]

Taking the differentiation of volume V with respect to time t; we have:

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt }= (\dfrac{d}{dh}(\dfrac{\pi h^3}{12})) \times \dfrac{dh}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt }= (\dfrac{\pi h^2}{4} ) \times \dfrac{dh}{dt}[/tex]

we know that:

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt}= 20 \ ft^3/min[/tex]

So;we have:

[tex]20= (\dfrac{\pi (15)^2}{4} ) \times \dfrac{dh}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]20= 56.25 \pi \times \dfrac{dh}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{dh}{dt}= \dfrac{20}{56.25 \pi} \ \ \ \ \ ft/min}[/tex]

The height of the pile is increasing at the rate of  [tex]\mathbf{ \dfrac{20}{56.25 \pi} \ \ \ \ \ ft/min}[/tex]

What is the range of the function f(x) = 2x + 1 given the Domain D = {-1,0, 1, 2}?
R = {0, 1,3,5)

R= {-1,1,3,5)

R = {-5, -3,-1,1)

R = {0, 1,3,6}

Answers

Answer:

R= {-1,1,3,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the range, use the domain values as the input and find the output for the function

Domain D = {-1,0, 1, 2}?

f(x) = 2x + 1

f(-1) = -2 +1 = -1

f(0) = 0 + 1=1

f(1) = 2 + 1 = 3

f(2) = 4 + 1 = 5

The range is { -1,1,3,5}

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Please refer to the attachment below.

So, notice that to find y, we simply need to determine x.

Remember that the area of a parallelogram is given by bh.

We can see that our base is x.

And our height h is half of 14. Therefore, h=7.

So, the area of one parallelogram is:

[tex]A=7x[/tex]

Then the area of four parallelograms is:

[tex]A=4(7x)=28x[/tex]

Since the total area of the shape is 308 squared centimeters. This means that:

[tex]308=28x[/tex]

Therefore:

b) 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 20 people total.

a is that the chosen child is a girl.

2 + 6 = 8, --> there are 8 girls --> simplify

8/20 = 4/10 = 2/5

b is the probability that the chosen child is a left-handed girl, --> there are 2 left-handed girls --> 2/20 --> simplify to 1/10

And thus, we have our answers.

Answer:

A) 2/5

B) 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Total Girls = 8

Total Children = 19

Probability = [tex]\frac{NumberOfFavourableOutcomes}{Total No.OfOutcomes}[/tex]

Probability = 8/20 = 4/10 = 2/5

B) Left-handed girls = 2

Total left handed children = 20

=> Probability = [tex]\frac{NumberOfFavourableOutcomes}{Total No.OfOutcomes}[/tex]

She puts a value in the box and says that the equation represents a direct variation. Which explains whether the equation could represent a direct variation

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation is in the form

y = kx

where k is a numerical positive constant ( i.e. > 0 )

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

If she puts 0 in the box she would have a direct variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given : She writes the equation y = 5x - __ with a missing value.

She puts a value in the box and says that the equation represents a direct variation.

We have to choose the correct option from the given options that explain that  the equation could represent a direct variation.

When two variables are such that one is a constant multiple of other, we said they are in Direct variation.

That is in form of y = ax , here y and x are in direct variation.

Consider the given equation y = 5x  - __

For the equation to be in direct variation the value of missing term has to be 0.

then equation becomes,

y = 5x

Thus, If she puts 0 in the box she would have a direct variation.

If you roll one time the probability is 16
Then if you roll 60 times the probability is:

You’re answer is 960.

If you roll the die once the probability it 16. But if you were to roll it 60 times the math you would have to do would be: 60*16=960. Simpler than you may think.

An insurance company models the number of warranty claims in a week on a particular product that has a Poisson distribution with mean 4. Each warranty claim results in a payment of 1 by the insurer. Calculate the expected total payment by the insurer on the warranty claims in a week.

Answers

Answer:

4 monetary units

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the expected value of the distribution is the same as the mean:

The expected number of warranty claims is 4.

Since each claim results in a payment of 1, the expected value paid by the insurer is:

[tex]E(V)=E(X)*V(X)\\E(V)=4*1 = 4[/tex]

The expected total payment on warranty claims is 4 monetary units.

Find the measure of angle C of a triangle ABC, if m∠A = α, m∠B = 2α

Answers

Answer:

The measure of angle C is 180 - 3α

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

triangle ABC, ΔABC

angle A, ∠A  = α

angle B, ∠B = 2α

To calculate angle C, we must recall that, the sum of angles in a triangle is equal to  180°. Angle A, angle B, and angle C make up the total angle in the triangle.

∠A + ∠B  + ∠C = 180

where

∠C  is angle C

α + 2α + ∠C = 180

3α  + ∠C  = 180

∠C = 180 - 3α

∠C = 3(60 - α)

Therefore, the measure of angle C is 180 - 3α

WILL CHOOSE BRAINLIEST 5 STARS AND THANKS...How many 6-digit numbers, formed using each digit from 1 to 6 exactly once, are divisible by: Divisible by 5 Divisible by 12 Divisible 25

Answers

Answer:

( edited )

1. divisible by 5 : 120

2. divisible by 12 : 192

3. divisible by 25 : 24

See explanations below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

6 digit number

digits all unique between 1 to 6

divisible by 5, 12 and 25

Find how many such numbers

solution:

1. Divisible by 5.

The last digit must be 5.  That leaves five digits (1,2,3,4,6) for the rest of the numbers. So there are 5! = 120 such numbers.

2. Divisible by 12 (edited again)

All numbers formed from unique digits 1,2,3,4,5,6 are divisible by 3, since 1+2+3+4+5+6 = 21 which is divisible by 3.

For the 6 digit numbers divisible by 12, the two end digits must be divisible by 4, for which there are 8 ( 12,16,24,32,36, 52, 56, 64)

For each of the 8 numbers, we have 4 more digits to tag on for which there are 4! = 24 permutations.  Thus there are 8*24 = 192 numbers divisible by 12.

3. divisible by 25

All numbers ending in 00, 25, 50 or 75 are divisible by 25.

Using digits 1 to 6, only those ending in 25 qualify.

Thus that leaves us with 4 digits to make 4! = 24 variations.

Thus there are 24 such numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

All we have to pay attention to in this problem is B, so we can ignore the rest of the triangle. B is 5 units directly to the left of line l, meaning that B' must be 5 units to the right of line l. This would put B' 2 units to the left of line m. That means that B" would be 2 unit to the right of line m, as that is how reflections work. Adding up all of the difference in units you have a 10 unit shift from B to B', and then a 4 unit shift from B' to B". Now adding 4+10=14 units.
