Answer:

15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the dock is at the origin on a coordinate plane and each unit is 1 mile. If the boat travels 9 mile due north, that means that we move up from the origin (0, 0) 9 units to point A (0, 9). Now, this boat moves 12 miles due west, so we will go 12 units to the left of (0, 9) to point B (-12, 9). See the attached drawing (sorry for the crudeness).

Notice that this is a right triangle with legs of 9 and 12. That means the distance from the boat to the dock is just the hypotenuse, so use the Pythagorean Theorem: distance = \sqrt{9^2+12^2} =\sqrt{81+144} =\sqrt{225} =15

Thus, the answer is 15 miles.

Hope this helps!

Which is the highest value? 1/100, 1/400,1/500
NNADVOKAT [17]
1/100, 1/400, 1/500

Because the numerators are the same, we just need to compare the denominators.

100< 400< 500
⇒ 1/100 > 1/400 > 1/500

Therefore, the highest value is 1/100.

Hope this helps.

PLEASE HELP GIVE BRANLIEST!!
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

1. 2/25

2. 4/15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. P(Y∩X)

Since  P(X) =2/3 , P(Y) =2/5 , and P(X|Y) =1/5, this is a conditional probability.

So  P(Y∩X) = P(Y)P(X|Y) = 2/5 × 1/5 = 2/25

2. P(Y)· P(X)

P(Y)· P(X) = 2/3 × 2/5 = 4/15
