The weight of a person on or above the surface of the earth varies inversely as the square of the distance the person is from th

e center of the earth. If a person weighs 180 pounds on the surface of the earth and the radius of the earth is 3900 miles, what will the person weigh if he or she is 325 miles above the earth's surface?

Weight = k/(distance)². Let's find the value of k when distance = earth radius:

180 = k/(3900)² → k = 180 x 3900² → k = 2,737,800,000

If he is at 325 miles ABOVE the earth, the distance becomes: 3,900+325=4,225 miles and his weight becomes:

Weight = k/(distance)² → Weight = 2,737,800,000/(4225)² = 153.37

Weight = 153.37 lb

Two corresponding sides of similar triangles are 2 cm and 5 cm. What is the area of the second triangle if the area of the first
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

(1) Area of second triangle= 50 cm^2.

(2) Area of ΔABC=98 cm^2.

   and Area of ΔDFG=175 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>" For two similar triangles the ratio of sides is equal to the ratio of square of their areas".</em>

i.e. if a,b are the corresponding sides of two similar triangles and let A and B denote the area of two triangles then we have the relation as:

\dfrac{a^2}{b^2}=\dfrac{A}{B}

(1)

for the first question:

we have a=2, b=5.

A=8 cm^2.

Hence,

\dfrac{2^2}{5^2}=\dfrac{8}{B}\\\\\dfrac{4}{25}=\dfrac{8}{B}

B=50 cm^2.

Hence, the area of second triangle is 50 cm^2.

(2)

In second option we have:

a=6 and b=5.

A-B=77 cm^2.

A=77+B

\dfrac{6^2}{5^2}=\dfrac{A}{B}\\  \\\dfrac{36}{25}=\dfrac{77+B}{B}\\  \\36B=25\times77+25B\\\\36B-25B=25\times77\\\\11B=25\times77\\\\B=25\times7\\\\B=175

Hence area of second triangle i.e. ΔDFG is 175 cm^2.

and area of first triangle i.e. ΔABC=175-77=98 cm^2.

Help please!!!!!!!!!!!
kvasek [131]

Answer:

B. 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we have to take into account this axioms:

- The total probability is always equal to 1.

- The probability of a randomly selected point being inside the circle is equal to one minus the probability of being outside the circle.

Then, if the probabilities are proportional to the area, we have 1/3 probability of selecting a point inside a circle and (1-1/3)=2/3 probability of selecting a point that is outside the circle.

Then, the probabilty that a random selected point inside the square (the total probability space) and outside the circle is 2/3.
