1/r = (3 1/2)/245
(3 1/2)r = 245
r = 245/3 1/2
r = 70

scale is 1 in to 70 miles.

At a football stadium, 5% of the fans in attendance were teenagers. If there were 10 teenagers at the football stadium, what was
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

200 people were at the stadium

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the total number of people at the stadium = x

At a football stadium, 5% of the fans in attendance were teenagers. If there were 10 teenagers at the football stadium

Hence:

5% of total number of people = 10 teenagers

5/100 × x = 10

5x/100 = 10

Cross Multiply

5x = 100 × 10

5x = 1000

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 1000/5

x = 200

The total number of people in the stadium is 200

Use the following diagram to find the angle measures of the triangle, rounded to the nearest degree.
nadezda [96]

Answer:

m∠A = 30°

m∠B = 80°

m∠C = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying cosine rule in the given triangle,

b² = a² + c² - 2ac[cos(∠B)]

From the given triangle,

a = 14 m

b = 28 m

c = 24 m

(28)² = (14)² + (24)² - 2(14)(24)cos(B)

784 = 196 + 576 - 672cos(∠B)

cos(∠B) = 0.1786

∠B = \text{cos}^{-1}(0.1786)

∠B = 79.71°

∠B = 80°

By applying sine rule in the given triangle,

\frac{\text{sinA}}{a}= \frac{\text{sinB}}{b}= \frac{\text{sinC}}{c}

\frac{\text{sinA}}{14}= \frac{\text{sin(79.71)}}{28}= \frac{\text{sinC}}{24}

\frac{\text{sinA}}{14}= \frac{\text{sin(79.71)}}{28}

\text{sinA}= \frac{\text{sin(79.71)}\times 14}{28}

sinA = 0.491958

A = 29.47°

A ≈ 30°

By applying triangle sum theorem,

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

30° + 80° + m∠C = 180°

m∠C = 70°

In ΔRST, t = 4.1 inches, r = 7.1 inches and ∠S=45°. Find the length of s, to the nearest 10th of an inch.
dem82 [27]

Answer:

The length of s is 5.1 inches to the nearest tenth of an inch

Step-by-step explanation:

In Δ RST

∵ t is the opposite side to ∠T

∵ r is the opposite side to ∠R

∵ s is the opposite side to ∠S

→ To find s let us use the cosine rule

∴ s² = t² + r² - 2 × t × r × cos∠S

∵ t = 4.1 inches, r = 7.1 inches, and m∠S = 45°

→ Substitute them in the rule above

∴ s² = (4.1)² + (7.1)² - 2 × 4.1 × 7.1 × cos(45°)

∴ s² = 16.81 + 50.41 - 41.1677568

∴ s² = 26.0522432

→ Take √ for both sides

∴ s = 5.10413981

→ Round it to the nearest tenth

∴ s = 5.1 inches

∴ The length of s is 5.1 inches to the nearest tenth of an inch

The value of which of these expressions is closest to e?
pishuonlain [190]
The correct answer for the exercise shown above, is the first option (Option A), which is:

 A. <span>(1+1/18)^18

 The explanation is shown below:

 1- You have that the number e is an irrational number, therefore, its value is aproximated:

 e=2.7182

 2- You have the following expressions:

 </span>(1+1/18)^18=2.6464 
 <span>(1+1/17)^17=2.6424
 </span><span>(1+1/16)^16=2.6379
 </span><span>(1+1/15)^15=2.6328

 Therefore the value of the expression that is closest to e is the Option A.</span>
