The ratios of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 3:10:7. Find the measure of the smallest angle. Just write the numeric

Burka [1]

Answer to written question:
3x + 10x + 7x = 180
Combine like terms
20x = 180
Divide by 20
x = 9
Smallest angle 3x = 3*9 = 27 degrees

Answer to question in picture:
30/6x-2 = 36/5x + 13
Cross multiply
30(5x + 13) = 36(6x-2)
Distribute
150x + 390 = 216x - 72
Subtract 150x
390 = 66x - 72
Add 72
462 = 66x
Divide by 66
x = 7

A particle is moving along the number line so that its distance (in meters) from the origin at any time t (in seconds) is given

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The velocity is 17 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the velocity, we find the first differential of the displacement

That will be

S’(t) = 16t + 1/t

We simply proceed to replace t with 1

That will give;

16(1) + 1/1

= 16 + 1 = 17 m/s

The mathematics department of a college has 15 male professors, 9 female professors, 6 male teaching assistants, and 12 female t

Vesnalui [34]

Given:

The number of male professors = 15.

The number of female professors = 9.

The number of male teaching assistants = 6.

The number of female teaching assistants = 12.

A person is selected randomly from the group.

Required:

We need to find the probability that the selected person is a professor or a male.

Explanation:

The total number of people in the group = 15+9+6+12 = 42

n(S) =The total number of people in the group

$n(S)=42$

Let A be the event that the selected person is a professor or a male.

The number of people who are professors or male = 15+9+6 = 30

n(A)= The number of people who are professors or male.

$n(A)=30$

Let P(A) be the probability that the selected person is a professor or a male.

$P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$ $P(A)=\frac{30}{42}$ $P(A)=\frac{15}{21}=\frac{5}{7}$

Final answer:

The probability that the selected person is a professor or a male is 5/7.
