Well,

The distance from the earth to the moon, FYI, is over 200,000 miles.  That is a LONG distance.  We are trying to find a reasonable unit of measurement.

What do we mean by "reasonable?"  We mean that that unit should be able to express the distance as a number that is not huge or tiny.  In other words, we want it to be as close as possible to 1.

mm, or millimeters, is a tiny unit.  It is not reasonable.

cm, or centimeters, is also a tiny unit.  It also is not reasonable.

m, or meters, is also a relatively small unit.  It also is not reasonable.

km, or kilometers, is the largest of the four.  In km, the distance from the earth to the moon is about 363,000 km.  That's not too bad.

However, if these weren't the only options, I would choose Mm, or megameters, which would put the distance at 363 Mm.

The correct option is D.

Question 7: please help. I will give brainliest to correct answer.
liq [111]

Answer:

0.03

Step-by-step explanation:w

standard deviation = ( p(1-p) / n)1/2

p= sample proportion= 55%

n= sample size = 900

standard deviation = ( [55/100] [ 1- 55/100]) / 900)1/2

= (0.55*0.45 / 900)1/2

= 0.0165

margin of error = critical value*standard deviation

[ from graph critical value = 2]

margin of error = 2*0.0165=0.033

Vertical angles are formed when two lines intersect, and two angles that are on opposite sides of both lines.

The angles on the west side and the east side form two vertically opposite angles (commonly called vertical angles, but much less descriptive).
It is because the west angle is to the left of both lines, and the east angle is to the right of both lines.

Vertically opposite angles (vertical angles) are congruent.  Therefore we can form the equation
110 = 5x
Divide both sides by 5 to get
110/5=22 = 5x/5 = x
or 
x=22 degrees.
