63 - 38
Just calculate the z-score: y = ---------------- = 25/10, or z = 2.5 (answer)

In 2000, the total population of the U.S. was 281.4 million people. In 2010, it was 308.7 million people. What is the average ra

kifflom [539]

Answer:

2.73 million people per year

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn sentences into coordinates/points:

In 2000, 281.4 million people

(x₁, y₁) = (2000, 281.4)

In 2010, 308.7 million people

(x₂, y₂) = (2010, 308.7)

Rate of population per year:

$\sf \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1} \ \ where \ (x_1 , \ y_1), ( x_2 , \ y_2) \ are \ points$

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{308.7-281.4}{2010-2000}$

$\rightarrow \sf 2.73 \ million \ people$

A boat traveled 252 miles downstream and back. The trip downstream took 12 hours. The trip back took 84 hours. Find the speed of

Leokris [45]

Answer: the speed of the boat in still water is 12 mph and the speed of the current is 9 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.

Let y represent the speed of the current.

The boat travelled 252 miles downstream and the same distance upstream.

The trip downstream took 12 hours. Assuming the boat travelled with the wind when going downstream, the total speed would be (x + y) mph.

Distance = speed × time

The expression for distance travelled downstream is

252 = 12(x + y)

Dividing through by 12, it becomes

21 = x + y- - - - - - - - - - 1

The trip back took 84 hours. Assuming the boat travelled against the wind when going back(upstream), the total speed would be (x - y) mph.

The expression for distance travelled upstream is

252 = 84(x - y)

Dividing through by 84, it becomes

3 = x - y- - - - - - - - - - 2

Adding equation 1 to equation 2, it becomes

24 = 2x

x = 24/2

x = 12 mph

Substituting x = 12 into equation 1, it becomes

21 = 12 + y

y = 21 - 12

y = 9 mph

What is the surface area of this triangular prism rounded to the nearest tenth? A) 48.6km2 B) 63.4 km2 C) 72.6 km2 D) 84.4 km2

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Correct option B) $63.4km^2$ .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have the following figure attached as shown below.

Now, this triangular prism have 2 similar right angled surfaces and 3 rectangular surfaces , Let's calculate area for all of them:

2 similar right angled surfaces

We know that area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2} b(h)$

⇒ $area = \frac{1}{2} b(h)$

⇒ $area = \frac{1}{2} (3.6)(7.7)$

⇒ $area = 13.86km^{2}$

But there 2 such surfaces so , $area = 2(13.86) = 27.72km^2$

3 rectangular surfaces

Area of rectangle = $length(breadth)$

⇒ $area_1 = 3.6(1.8)$

⇒ $area_1 = 6.48km^2$

⇒ $area_2= 7.7(1.8)$

⇒ $area_2 = 13.86km^2$

⇒ $area_3 = 8.5(1.8)$

⇒ $area_2 = 15.3km^2$

Total area = $6.48 + 13.86 + 15.3 = 35.64km^2$

Adding area of 2 similar right angled surfaces & 3 rectangular surfaces:

$Area = 27.72+35.64 = 63.36km^2$ = $63.4km^2$

Correct option B) $63.4km^2$ .
