Every weekday, Mr. Jones bikes from his home to his job. Sometimes he rides along two roads, the long route that is shown by the

solid lines. Other times, he takes the shortcut shown by the dashed line.
A right triangle. The distance from the angle with measure 90 degrees to Job is 15 kilometers. From the angle to Home is a. They hypotenuse is 17 kilometers.


How many fewer kilometers does Mr. Jones bike when he takes the shortcut instead of the long route?

6 kilometers

8 kilometers

23 kilometers

32 kilometers

Answer:

(A)6 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we determine the value of a using Pythagoras Theorem.

Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2\\17^2=a^2+15^2\\a^2=17^2-15^2\\a^2=289-225\\a^2=64\\a^2=8^2\\a=8$ km

Therefore:

Distance along the long route = 8 + 15 =23 km

Distance along the shortcut =17 km

Difference =23-17 =6km

Therefore, Mr. Jones bikes 6km less when he takes the shortcut instead of the long route.

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The proportion of the variability seen in math achievement that can be predicted by math attitude is 0.78, the same value as the correlation coefficient.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient r between this two variables is found to be 0.78.

This coefficient can be calculated as:

r=\dfrac{SSY'}{SSY}

where SSY' is the sum of the squares deviation from the mean for the predicted value and SSY is the sum of the squares deviation from the mean for the criterion variable.

Then, the value of the coefficient r is giving the proportion of the variability seen in the criterion value Y that can be explained by the predictor variable X.

Answer: A = $1503.6

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = 1000

r = 6% = 6/100 = 0.06

n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year.

t = 7 years

Therefore,.

A = 1000(1 + 0.06/1)^1 × 7

A = 1000(1.06)^7

A = $1503.6
