On a map the distance from Fort Collins to Cheyenne is 3.2 inches. The angle formed at Laramie has measure 43.6º, and the angle

formed at Fort Collins has measure 46.5º. If one inch on the map is equal to 10.6 miles, find the distance from Cheyenne to Laramie to the nearest whole mile

36 miles. Call <span>Fort Collins point F, Cheyenne, point C, and Laramie point L. We know that angle F=46.5 degrees, angle L=43.6 degrees, and FC=3.2 inches. </span>Use the law of sines, sinF/LC=sinL/FC,  LC=sin46.5*3.2/sin43.6=2.32/0.69=3.36 inches. Since one inch represents 10.6 miles, 3.36 inches is 36 miles, the distance from L to C.

Answer : Distance from Cheyenne to Laramie = 36 miles .

Explanation :

Since we have given that

Distance from Fort Collins to Cheyenne =3.2 inches

Angle formed at Laramie =43.6\textdegree

Angle formed at Fort Collins =46.5\textdegree

Since we have drawn our figure mentioning the cordinates as L,F, C where L represents Laramie, F represents Fort Collins and C represents Cheyenne

Now, we use the cosine- sine formula  which is given by

\frac{\sin(A)}{A}=\frac{\sin(B)}{B}

\frac{sin(43.6\textdegree)}{3.2}=\frac{sin (46.5\textdegree)}{x}\\\\\frac{0.689619543}{3.2}=\frac{0.725374371}{x}\\\\

\text{ By cross multiplication, we get}\\\\x=\frac{2.32}{0.69}\\\\x=3.36\text{ inches}

Now, we will change it into miles ,

\text{ So ,Distance from Cheyenne to Laramie }=3.36\times 10.6=35.616

But we want it in nearest whole mile ,

So, distance from Cheyenne to Laramie = 36 miles .

Identify the inequalities A, B, and C for which the given ordered pair is a solution: (0,0)<br>​
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Options (A) and (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

A). The given inequality is,

    x + y ≤ 2

    Solution area of the inequality is the shaded area below the line.

    Since (0, 0) lies in the shaded region, ordered pair will be a solution of this inequality.

B). For the inequality y ≤ \frac{3}{2}x-1

   Since, (0, 0) doesn't lie in the shaded region of this inequality, ordered pair will not be a solution of the inequality.

C). y > -\frac{1}{3}x-2

    In this graph (0, 0) lies in the shaded region of the inequality therefore, it will be a solution of the given inequality.

Therefore, Options (A) and (C) are the correct options.

Supposed Blue spruce was included in the list and the mean decreased to 165 what is the height of the Blue spruce?
postnew [5]
The height of the blue spruce was 45.

We find the mean by adding all of the data points and dividing by the number of data points.  We will add the unknown value x and change the number we're dividing by to 7:

(160+320+100+110+200+220+x)/7 = 165
(1110+x)/7 = 165

Multiply both sides by 7:
1110 + x = 1155

Subtract 1110 from both sides:
x = 45
