The table shows the position of each runner relative to when the first place finisher crossed the finished level. Who finished i
n second place? Who finished in fifth place
1 answer:
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. Let's order the position of each runner shown in the table from greatest to least, to see which one is closer to zero:
-0.480 meters (Runner D).
= -0.56 meters (Runner E).
-1.05 meters (Runner C).
= -1.25 meters (Runner B).
-1.264 meters (Runner A).
= -1.625 meters (Runner F).
2. As you can see, the position of the runner that is closer to zero is:
-0.480 meters (Runner D)
3. Therefore the runner D finished in second place.
4. The runner B finished in fifth place.
The answer is: The runner D finished in second place and the runner B finished in fifth place.

#1 There is no area of a cube. There is only a volume.
#2 The formula is
where s is the side.
Substitute 729 in V since that is the volume.
Take the cube root and you will get 9.
So the formula is and the side is 9.
#2 The formula is
Substitute 729 in V since that is the volume.
Take the cube root and you will get 9.
So the formula is
Given:
To find:
The obtuse angle between the given pair of straight lines.
Solution:
The slope intercept form of a line is
...(i)
where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.
The given equations are
On comparing these equations with (i), we get
Angle between two lines whose slopes are is
Putting and
, we get
Now,
and
and
and
, so it is an obtuse angle and
, so it is an acute angle.
Therefore, the obtuse angle between the given pair of straight lines is 120°.
