Answer:

10⁵ billion

Step-by-step explanation:

given that distance from sun to earth

= 1.5 x 10⁸ km    (we need to convert this to millimeters)

= 1.5 x 10⁸ km x  1 million mm per km

= 1.5 x 10⁸ km x  1,000,000 mm/km

= 1.5 x 10⁸ km x  10⁶ mm/km

= 1.5 x 10⁸ x  10⁶

= 1.5 x 10⁽⁸ ⁺ ⁶⁾

= 1.5 x 10¹⁴ mm

also given that a quarter is 1.5mm thick, hence the number of quarters that will span the distance between the sun an earth (i.e 1.5 x 10¹⁴ mm)

= 1.5 x 10¹⁴ mm ÷ 1.5 mm/quarter

= 10¹⁴

= 100,000,000,000,000    (remember that a billion has 9 zeros)

= 100,000 billion

= 10⁵ billion

State if the triangles in each pair are similar. If so, state how you know they are similar.
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

<em>A) similar; SAS similarity.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>SAS Triangle Similarity</u>

The SAS criterion for triangle similarity states that if two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle and their included angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar.

We are given two triangles BCD and JKL. Sides DB and JL have a ratio of 90/20 = 4.5

Sides JK and BC have a ratio of 81/18 = 4.5

Since both sides are proportional and their included angle of 43° are congruent, then both triangles are similar, SAS similarity.

A) similar; SAS similarity.

The AAA system contains 3 independent components in parallel, each with probability of failure 0.4. Find the expected number of
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For each component, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it fails, or it does not. The components are independent. We want to know how many outcomes until r failures. The expected value is given by

E = \frac{r}{p}

In which r is the number of failures we want and p is the probability of a failure.

In this problem, we have that:

r = 1 because we want the first failed unit.

p = 0.4[\tex]So[tex]E = \frac{r}{p} = \frac{1}{0.4} = 2.5

The expected number of systems inspected until the first failed unit is 2.5
