3. Speed is based on a specific direction
Step-by-step explanation:
Generally, speed is a scalar quantity equal to the magnitude of velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that is speed together with a specific direction.
The answer choice that seems most in agreement with this description seems to be ...
3. Speed is based on a specific direction
Since you need a little bit of trigonometry to solve this problem,
I'm pretty sure you've had a little bit of trigonometry in class before
you were assigned to solve this problem.
-- The shaded triangle comes from taking the equilateral triangle and
either folding it in half or cutting it in half.
-- The base that the new triangle is standing on is 1/2 the base of the
equilateral triangle, so it's 7 cm long.
-- The acute angle at the right end of the base is the same as it was in
the equilateral triangle . . . 60 degrees.
-- The tangent of 60 degrees is (opposite side)/(adjacent side) = x / 7 cm
tan(60) = x/7
-- Multiply each side of this little equation by 7 : 7 tan(60) = x
If you don't have the tangent of 60 degrees in your pocket, you can
find it with your calculator. Multiply it by 7, and Shazam, you know 'x' .
if 3/4 of the grapes are green, than 1/4 are purple.
5/8*1/4=5/32
5/32 *1/10= 1/64
Each friend gets 1/64th of a pound of grapes
