a city block is a square with each side measuring 102 yards. Find the length of the diagonal of the city block.

1 answer:

6 0

We can see a right triangle here.
Diagonal is a hypotenuse of the right triangle. Two legs are equal 102 yards each.
We can use Pythagorean theorem
hypotenuse² = leg² + leg² = 2leg²
hypotenuse² = 2leg²
√hypotenuse² = √(2leg²)
hypotenuse = leg*√2
hypotenuse = 102*√2≈144.25 yards

the diagonal ≈144.25 yards

A continuous random variable X has cdf F(x)=x² b (a) Determine the constants a and b. for a < 0, for 0 < x < 1, for x &

Karolina [17]

Any proper CDF $F(x)$ has the properties

• $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-\infty} F(x) = 0$

• $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to+\infty} F(x) = 1$

so we have to have a = 0 and b = 1.

This follows from the definitions of PDFs and CDFs. The PDF must satisfy

$\displaystyle \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x) \, dx = 1$

and so

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-\infty} F(x) = \int_{-\infty}^{-\infty} f(t) \, dt = 0 \implies a = 0$

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to+\infty} F(x) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(t) \, dt = 1 \implies b = 1$

The Mississippi River is about 4,000 kilometers long. An M&M is about 1 centimeter long. There are 100 centimeters in a mete

harkovskaia [24]

To be able to determine the number of M&Ms that are needed in order to measure the length of Mississippi River, we convert the units to a common one. For this purpose, we convert kilometers to centimeter such that,

Length of Mississippi River = (4000 km)(1000 m/1 km)(100 cm/1 m)
= 400,000,000 cm

Since there are 400,000,000 cm in the entire length of the river, the answer would also be 400,000,000.

Is the square root of 225 a rational number?

MArishka [77]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The principal square root}:\\\\\sqrt{a}=b\iff a^2=b\ \text{for}\ a\geq0\ \text{and}\ b\geq0.\\\\\text{The square root:}\\\\\sqrt{a}=b\iff b^2=a\ \text{for}\ a\geq0\\===================$

$\text{If you want the principal square root (arithmetic square root):}\\\\\sqrt{225}=15\ \text{because}\ 15^2=225\\\\\text{If you want square root (algebraic square root):}\\\\\sqrt{225}=\pm15\ \text{because}\ (-15)^2=225\ \text{and}\ 15^2=225$
