Displacement is a vector quantity in such a way that it only takes into account the final and initial position of a body while the distance takes into account all the distances that have been traveled. When the trail is a straight line, the magnitude of the displacement and distance should only be the same.

When you are hiking along a trail, you will be taking some turns and not all direction will going up, some will be even horizontal. The distance you will travel will be the total length you walked along the trail. The displacement is the just distance between your starting point and where your final destination is.

Answer:

$x = 9.2$

$x =22.0$

$x = 8.7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Find x

(a)

x is calculated using tangent formula

$\tan(57) = \frac{x}{6}$

Make x the subject

$x = 6 * \tan(57)$

$x = 6 * 1.5399$

$x = 9.2394$

$x = 9.2$ --- approximated

(b):

x is calculated using cosine formula

$\cos(60) = \frac{11}{x}$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{11}{\cos(60)}$

$x = \frac{11}{0.5}$

$x =22.0$

(c):

x is calculated using sine formula

$\sin(60) = \frac{x}{10}$

Make x the subject

$x = 10 * \sin(60)$

$x = 10 * 0.8660$

$x = 8.660$

$x = 8.7$ --- approximated

A recipe for bran muffins calls for 2 1/2 cups of bran flakes. The recipe yields 9 muffins. How much bran flakes should be used

kolbaska11 [484]

10/3 bran flakes can make a dozen muffins

A recipe requires 2 1/2 cups of bran flakes

The recipe can make 9 muffins

Let's calculate the amount of bran flakes it will take to make 1 muffin

5/2 = 9

x= 1

cross multiply

9x= 5/2

x= 5/18

A dozen is 12, the number of bran flakes to make a dozen can be calculated as follows

5/18= 1

y= 12

cross multiply

y= 5/18 × 12

y= 10/3

Hence it will take 10/3 to make a dozen muffins

Answer:

A measure of average is a value that is typical for a set of figures. Finding the average helps you to draw conclusions from data. The main types are mean, median and mode. Data is also often grouped.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean add all the ages together and divide by the total number of children.

If you type all those ages into a calculator it is easy to make an error.
