Let's call the distance from the beach to the playground x.
Let's call the distance from the stand to the parking lot z.
Let's call the base of the biggest triangle in the picture (from the parking lot to the left) y.

Recall the pythagorean theorem: the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

There are three right triangles we can work with.

Triangle with sides 48, x and z. Here z is the hypotenuse so we get the equation x^{2} + 48^{2} = z^{2}

Triangle with sides 27, x and y. Here y is the hypotenuse so we get 27^{2} + x^{2} = y^{2}

Triangle with sides z, y and (48+27). Here (48+27) is the hypotenuse so we get y^{2} + z^{2} = (27+48)^{2}. That is, y^{2} + z^{2} = 5625

We have 3 equations and 3 unknowns (x, y and z). So let's take the last equation: y^{2} + z^{2} = 5625 and replace z^{2} and y^{2} using expressions that contain an expression in terms of x from the first two equations we came up with.

That gives us: 48^{2} + x^{2} + x^{2} + 27^{2} =5625 which we solve for x as follows:

2 x^{2} + 3033 =5625
2x^{2}  =2592
 x^{2} =1296
x=36

Now that we know x we can substitute 36 for x into the equation 48^{2} + x^{2} = z^{2} and solve for z as follows:
48^{2} + 36^{2} = z^{2} 
2304+1296=z^{2} 
3600=z^{2} 
z=60

This means that the distance from the beach to the parking lot is 36 m and the distance from the stand to the parking lot is 60 m.

Answer: A: 36 and B: 60

To find the distance from the beach to the parking lot, use the formula:
x^2 = 27(48)
x^2 = 1296
x = 36

To find the distance from the parking lot to the refreshment stand, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem.
36^2 + 48^2 = x^2
3600 = x^2
60 = x

There are 24 girls on the track team. First race2/3 girl ran.only1/4 girl ran in second race. 1/6 on third race. Hiw many more g
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

10 more girls

Step-by-step explanation:

So here 2/3 of 24 ran for first race

Then it gives us that 16 girls ran for first race.

Next, 1/4 of 24 ran for second race

That is 6 girls

The remaining girls ran for the third race,

24 - 22

2 girls

16 - 6 = 10

So for first race 10 more girls ran

What expression can be used for estimating 868 divided by 28
weeeeeb [17]
868 is about 870, and 28 is about 30, so your expression would be 870 divided by 30 which would be 29 and the actual answer is 31, so your estimate would be close to your actual answer.

What Is the y-intercept of the two points that cross through (8,1) and (-3,1)?
kramer

Answer:

(0,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The line made by these two points is perfectly horizontal since the value of y in both points is the same. When the y value is the same in all given points, that number is also the y-intercept and the line doesn't cross the x axis.

(The opposite applies as well: If the x value is the same in all given points, that number is also the x-intercept and the line doesn't cross the y axis. In that case, that means the line is vertical)

(f) how many ways are there to place a total of m indistinguishable balls into n distinguishable urns, with some urns possibly e
Blizzard [7]
The number of different ways to distribute m indistinguishable balls into n distinguishable urns is given by C(m+n-1,n-1).

For example, the number of ways 6 ball can be placed in 7 boxes is given by C(6+7-1, 7-1) = C(12, 6) = 924 ways.
