miles.

Answers

Answer 1

Applying the Pythagorean theorem, the distance between the Earth's horizon and the satellite would be 5756.70 miles.

How to calculate the distance from the satellite to the Earth's horizon?

To calculate the distance from the satellite to the Earth's horizon, it is necessary to use the Pythagorean Theorem as follows:

We must identify the data we have:

Distance from Earth to satellite 140 miles.Earth diameter 8000 miles.

To calculate the distance from the satellite to the Earth's horizon, we must first establish the distance from the center of the Earth to the satellite, for this we calculate the radius of the Earth and add the distance to the satellite:

Radius of Earth = 8000 miles / 2Radius of Earth = 4000 miles

4,000 miles + 140 miles = 4,140 miles

With these data we can draw an imaginary triangle from the center of the Earth, one of its legs would be the distance between the center of the Earth and the satellite, the other leg would be the distance between the center of the Earth and the Earth's horizon (at 90° to the other leg).

Now, to identify the distance between the horizon and the satellite, we apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

a² + b² = c²4140² + 4000² = c²17139600 + 16000000 = c²33139600 = c²5756.70 = c

According to the above, the distance between the satellite and the horizon would be 5756.70 miles.

The price of the service before the tip will be equal to $35.

What is the percentage?

The Percentage is defined as representing any number with respect to the 100. It is denoted by the sign %.

Given that:-

Talia gave her hairdresser a 20 per cent tip, which amounted to $7

The total price of the service will be calculated as:-

20%   =   $7

10%   =    7/2

What is the area of the shaded region? (25π – 48) cm2 (25π – 30) cm2 (25π – 24) cm2 (25π – 12) cm2

Answers

The area of the shaded region or portion in the circle is (25π - 24) cm².

How to find the area of the shaded portion in the circle?

The area of the shaded portion in the circle is found by subtracting the area of the two triangles from the area of the circle.

Therefore,

area of the circle = πr²

where

r = radius

area of a triangle = 1/ 2 bh

where

b = baseh = height

Therefore,

r = 5 cm

area of circle = 5²π = 25π cm

area of one triangle = 1 / 2 × 6 × 4 = 12 cm²

The area of the two triangles = 2(12) = 24 cm²

Hence,

area of the shaded portion = (25π - 24) cm²

Diego wondered how far sixth-grade students could throw a ball. he decided to collect data to find out. he asked 10 friends to throw a ball as far as they could and measured the distance from the starting line to where the ball landed. the table shows the distances he recorded in feet.
40 76 40 63 47 57 49 55 50 53
find the median and iqr of the data set.
on a later day, he asked the same group of 10 friends to throw a ball again and collected another set of data. the median of the second data set is 49 feet, and the iqr is 6 feet.
did the 10 friends, as a group, perform better (or throw farther) in the second round compared to the first round? explain how you know.
were the distances in the second data set more variable or less variable compared to those in the first round? explain how you know.

Answers

The median of the number recorded in the question is 51.5 feet. This is obtained by dividing the sum of two numbers that occur centrally in half.

What is median?

The central value in a list ordered from smallest to largest is the median of a set of values.

What is the Inter-quartile Range (IQR) of an observation?

The formula for the Inter-quartile range is given as:

IQR = Q₃- Q₁ (that is Median of the Upper Half Less the Median of the lower half)

Step 1 - First, let's arrange the numbers sequentially

→  40, 40, 47, 49, 50, 53, 55, 57, 63, 76

Step 2 - Determine the upper and lower halves and their median

If the Lower half is  40, 40, 47, 49, 50, then it's median is 47

If the Upper half is   53, 55, 57, 63, 76, then its median is 57.

Hence:

IQR = 57 - 47

= 10 feet.

Given that the median of the second data set is 49 feet, and the IQR is 6 feet. Did the 10 friends, as a group, perform better (or throw farther) in the second?

No, the friends didn't perform better in the second round because the was a significant drop in the median and the IQR. The median dropped from 51.5 to 47 and the IQR from 10 to 6.


Were the distances in the second data set more variable or less variable compared to those in the first round?

It can be concluded that the distance in the second set of data is less variable when juxtaposed with those form the first set.

Question 7 options:

70 bags of soil


35 bags of soil


12 bags of soil


7 bags of soil

Answers

If 1 bag of soil will covers 5 square feet, the number of bags of soil that will cover Susie's 35 square feet triangular garden is 7 bags.

Option D) is the correct answer.

How many bags will Susie need?

Area of a triangle is expressed as half base multiply by height.

A = (1/2)base × height

Given that;

Base of the triangular garden = 7ftHeight = 10ftArea of the triangular garden A = ?

A = (1/2)base × height

A = (1/2) × 7ft × 10ft

Area of the triangular garden A = 35ft²

Now, if 1 bag of soil covers 5 square feet. how many will cover 35 square feet?

1 bag covers 5ft²

x bags covers 35ft²

x = 35 / 5

The values of length are 100, 60, and 40 feet respectively, area of the rectangle 1000 square feet, 1800 square feet, and 1600 square feet respectively.

What is the area of the rectangle?

It is defined as the area occupied by the rectangle in two-dimensional planner geometry.

The area of a rectangle can be calculated using the following formula:

Rectangle area = length x width

We know the perimeter of the rectangle = 2(w+l)

The sum of w+w+l = 120  (given)

2w + l = 120

From the above equation, we can calculate the l of the rectangle:

We have w = 10 feet

l = 100 feet

Area = 10×100 = 1000 square feet

When w = 30

l = 60 feet

Area = 60×30 = 1800 square feet

When w = 40

l = 40 feet

Area = 40×40 = 1600 square feet

Thus, the values of length are 100, 60, and 40 feet respectively, area of the rectangle 1000 square feet, 1800 square feet, and 1600 square feet respectively.

Number 2 shows what is called a central angle. Central Angles are equivalent to the ark length

Number 3 shows an Inscribed angle. These angles are half of the ark but in your question, it is twice the angle measurement

Number 4 you want to divide the ark length by two when the angle is not given. And when the angle is given you want to mutilate by two

Number 6 is Overlapping Ark which means they are both congruent to each other because the ark is equivalent to each other.

Number 7 is x=12 because 5x+12 is twice the measure of 3x

Number 8 o=110 because a circle has 360 degrees so you want to add them up and then subtract that from 360. x is also 110 degrees because it is a central angle, which is the same amount of degrees as the ark length.

A fireman needs to get water to a second-floor fire. His ladder is 30 ft long and he leans it against the vertical wall so that the top of the ladder is 27 ft above the ground.

(a) Use trigonometry to find the angle formed between the ground and the ladder. Round to the nearest whole number and show all your work.

We solve the above question using the trigonometric function of Sine

sin θ = Opposite side/Hypotenuse sides

θ = Angle formed with the ground = ?

Opposite side = 27 ft

Hypotenuse side = 30 ft

Hence,

sin θ = 27 ft/30 ftsin θ = 9/10 = 0.9

θ = arc sin (0.9)

θ = 64.158067237°

Approximately to the nearest whole number = 64°

(b) For safety reasons, the fireman wants the angle the ladder makes with the ground to be no more than 70°.Will the ladder be safe the way it is positioned?

From the above calculation, the angle the ladder makes with the ground is 64° and now we want that angle to be 70°
