Step 1
find the a<span>rea of the first cross section

area1=b1*h/2
b1=8 m
h=10 m
area1=6*10/2------> 30 m</span>²

step 2
find the area of the second cross section

area 2=b2*h/2
b2=12 m
h=10 m
area1=12*10/2------> 60 m²

step 3
 find <span>the difference in the areas of the cross sections
</span>difference=60-30------> 30 m²

the answer is
30 m²

Answer:
45) Option A
- This is because every option has different modes and 70 is the mode and only one option has the mode as 70.
Hence, option A is correct.

46) Option B
- In all the options, the mode and medians are same hence we only have to find the mean which will help us to reach our correct option. The mean will be 40/17 = 2.35
Hence, option B is correct.

Write down everything needed to be known about rational and irrational numbers... WILL CHOOSE BRAINLIEST!
LuckyWell [14K]
Any whole number, fraction, or decimal that ends or repeats is a rational number. An irrational number is any number that cannot be converted into a fraction so it does not meet the definition of a rational number.

Suppose a recent nationwide survey showed that 35% of American college students have traveled outside of the USA. But a well kno
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test.

For the null hypothesis,

p = 0.35

For the alternative hypothesis,

p > 0.35

This is a right tailed test considering the > in the alternative hypothesis.

Considering the population proportion, probability of success, p = 0.35

q = probability of failure = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.35 = 0.65

Considering the sample,

Sample proportion, P = x/n

Where

x = number of success = 42

n = number of samples = 100

P = 42/120 = 0.42

We would determine the test statistic which is the z score

z = (P - p)/√pq/n

z = (0.42 - 0.35)/√(0.35 × 0.65)/100 z = 1.48

PLEASE HELP ASAP LOTS OF POINTS AND BRAINIEST!

Answers: See each part below.

1) The scale factor on Map 1 is 1cm = 2 km. It is given in the key in the bottom right corner.

2) The length of the trail would be 16 km. Since each cm is 2 km, we multiply the 8 by 2 to get a total of 16.

3) The scale factor from the first map to the second map is 0.75. To find this we can write and solve the following equation to determine the change from Map 1 to Map 2. 

8k = 6
k = 0.75

4)  To find the lengths of the sides of the landmark, just change the mm into cm and use the scale factor for each.

5 mm is 0.5 cm. 0.5 x 2 = 1 km
3 mm is 0.3 cm. 0.3 x 2 = 0.6 km
4 mm is 0.4 cm. 0.4 x 2 = 0.8 km
