Answer:

  • The approximate distance between the docks is 357 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between docks be d.

This is the opposite side to 45° angle of triangle with other sides 400 ft and 500 ft.

Use the law of cosines to find the value of d:

  • d = \sqrt{400^2+500^2-2*400*500*cos45} =357 (rounded)

What is the equation of a line that contains the points (8, –3) and (–8, 3)?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

1. D y = 8

2. C y = −8

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Both points have y-coordinate 8, so the line is horizontal.

A horizontal line has equation y = k

where k is the y-coordinate of all of its points.

The y-coordinate of all points on this line is 8.

Answer: y = 8

2.A line with 0 slope is a horizontal line. All points on a horizontal line have the same y-coordinate.

A horizontal line has equation

y = k

where k is the y-coordinate of all of its points.

The y-coordinate of the given point is -8, so all points must have -8 as the y-coordinate.

Answer: y = -8

Suppose one bag contains 500 cubic inches of confetti. How many bags will Student Government need to fill 100 containers? If the
Vanyuwa [196]

The number of bags that they will need if each bag contains 500 cubic inches of confetti is 20,000

<h3>How to find the total volume ?</h3>

One bag contains 500 cubic inches of confetti.

Therefore,

1 bag = 500 inches³

The student need to fill 100 containers with the bag.

Each container can accomodates 100,000 cubic inches.

Therefore,

1 bag = 500 inches³

100,000inches³ = 1 container = 200 bags

Therefore,  

100 containers will contain 20, 000 bags of confetti.

Find the product of the greatest common divisor and the least common multiple of 18 and 42.
Evgesh-ka [11]

The product of the greatest common divisor and the least common multiple of  two numbers is always the product of the two numbers. So, you have

\text{lcm}(18,42)\times\text{GCD}(18,42)=18\times 42=756

How many commuters must be randomly selected to estimate the mean driving time of Chicago commuters? We want 95% confidence that
zimovet [89]

Answer:

61 commuters must be randomly selected to estimate the mean driving time of Chicago commuters.                

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : We want 95% confidence that the sample mean is within 3 minutes of the population mean, and the population standard deviation is known to be 12 minutes.

To find : How many commuters must be randomly selected to estimate the mean driving time of Chicago commuters?

Solution :

At 95% confidence the z-value is z=1.96

The sample mean is within 3 minutes of the population mean i.e. margin of error is E=3 minutes

The population standard deviation is s=12 minutes

n is the number of sample

The formula of margin of error is given by,

E=\frac{s\times z}{\sqrt{n}}

Substitute the value in the formula,

3=\frac{12\times 1.96}{\sqrt{n}}

3=\frac{23.52}{\sqrt{n}}

\sqrt{n}=\frac{23.52}{3}

\sqrt{n}=7.84

Squaring both side,

n=61.4656

Therefore, 61 commuters must be randomly selected to estimate the mean driving time of Chicago commuters.
