A campground official wants to measure the distance across an irregularly-shaped lake, but can't do so directly. He picks a poin

t south of the lake. From that point to the left side of the lake, the distance is 105 meters. From that point to the right side of the lake is 119 meters. The angle between these two measurements is 83 degrees. How far is it across the lake?

Answer:

149 m

Explanation:

The distances across the lake is forming a triangle.  

let the distance between the point and the left side be 'x'

and the distance between the point and the right be 'y'

and the distance across the lake be 'z' and the angle opposite to 'z' be 'Z' given:

∠Z = 83°

x = 105 m

y = 119 m

Now, applying the Law of Cosines, we get  

z² = x² + y² - 2xycos(Z)  

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

z² = 105² + 119² - 2×105×119×cos(83°)

or

z = √22140.48

or

z = 148.796 m ≈ 149 m

The point is 149 m across the lake

Which is most likely a covalent compound?<br><br> LiF<br> MgS<br> NH3<br> CaCl2
Artemon [7]

Answer:

NH₃

Explanation:

The compound that is covalent from the given choices is NH₃.

Covalent compounds are usually formed between two atoms with similar values of electronegativities such that the difference is very small or zero.

  • This bond type involves the sharing of electrons between two atoms with similar electronegativities.
  • Nitrogen and hydrogen forms stable configuration that are isoelectronic with noble gases by sharing their valence electrons.
  • The 3 hydrogen electrons are enough to make nitrogen isoelectronic with neon.
  • Also, the nitrogen with 3 lone pairs of electrons provides the bonding hydrogen with needed electrons to attain a structure similar to helium.

We drive at a speed of 20 km/h for 3 hours. Then we drive 4 hours at 30 km/h. Calculate our average speed.
Afina-wow [57]

First speed = 20km/h

Time = 3 hours

Distance = 3×20

<h3> = <u>60 km</u></h3>

Second speed = 30km/h

Time = 4 hours

Distance = 4×30

<h3> = <u>120 km</u></h3>

Total distance = 60+120 = <u>180km</u>

Total time = 3+4 =<u> 7 hours</u>

Average speed = 180/7

<h3> = <u>25.71</u><u> </u><u>km</u><u>/</u><u>h</u></h3>

Hope this will help...

Jessica is running a 10K. She alternates between running and walking each kilometer. She runs at a rate of 1 kilometer every 5 m
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

c.100 minutes

Explanation:

Total distance = 10 km

Runs for 1 km every 5 minutes

walks 1 km every 15 min

She alternates between walking and running  so,  Jessica will walk 5 km and run 5 Km

Time taken by Jessica for walking : 5 km

Time taken to walk 1 km=5 minutes

Time taken to walk 5 km

=> 5 X 5

=>25 minutes

Time taken by Jessica for Running : 5km

Time taken to run 1 km = 15 minutes

 

=> 5 X 15

=>75 minutes

Total time taken   = Time taken by Jessica for walking + Time taken by Jessica for Running

=>25 minutes +75 minutes

=> 100 minutes
