Answer:
36.4mi
Step-by-step explanation:
The boat sailed two legs of a right-angled triangle.
The distance from the starting point is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
d = √(35² + 10²)
= √(1225 + 100)
= √1325
= 36.4 mi
Answer:
The larger number is -6, the smaller number is -15
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two numbers, a and b.
We know that one number is larger than another by 9.
Then we can write:
a = b + 9
then a is larger than b by 9 units.
If the greater number is increased by 10 (a + 10) and the lesser number is tripled (3*b), the sum of the two would be -41:
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
So we got two equations:
a = b + 9
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
This is a system of equations.
One way to solve this is first isolate one variable in one of the two equations:
But we can see that the variable "a" is already isolated in the first equation, so we have:
a = b + 9
now we can replace that in the other equation:
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
(b + 9) + 10 + 3*b = -41
now we can solve this for b.
9 + b + 10 + 3b = -41
(9 + 10) + (3b + b) = -41
19 + 4b = -41
4b = -41 -19 = -60
b = -60/4 = -15
b = -15
then:
a = b + 9
a = -15 + 9 = -6
a = -6

Answer:
x = 8.2
Step-by-step explanation:
As indicated on the supplied diagram, the measure of arc GH is ...
GH = 360° -83° -115° = 162°
The inscribed angle at F is half this measure, so we have ...
(10x -1)° = 162°/2
10x = 82 . . . . . . . . add 1 and simplify
x = 8.2 . . . . . . . . . divide by 10
Answer:
1 / 5040
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of ways that 7 basketball players can be arranged is 7! = 5040. Only one of these arrangements is alphabetical. So the probability is 1/5040.
