If a car goes around a turn too quickly, it can leave tracks that form an arc of a circle. By finding the radius of the circle,

accident investigators can estimate the speed of the car. To find the radius, accident investigators choose points A and B on the tire marks. Then, the investigators find the midpoint C of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. Use the diagram to find the radius r of the circle. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

I just encountered this question. Here's my answer. 

Given:
Segment AC = 130 feet
Segment CD = 70 feet

I think that I'll be using the Pythagorean Theorem in finding the value of r. r will be the hypotenuse

Segment CE = (r - 70 feet)

r² = a² + b²
r² = 130² + (r-70)²
r² = 16,900 + (r-70)(r-70)
r² = 16,900 + r² - 70r - 70r + 4900
r² - r² + 140r = 16,900 + 4,900
140r = 21,800
r = 21,800/140
r = 155.71 feet

There are a total of 15 bicycles and tricycles.There are 37 wheels all together if we count them up. How many tricycles and how
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: there are eight bicycles and 7 tricycles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of bicycles that are there.

Let y represent the number of tricycles that are there.

There are a total of 15 bicycles and tricycles. This means that

x + y = 15

A bicycle has 2 wheels and a tricycle has 3 wheels. There are 37 wheels all together if we count them up. This means that

2x + 3y = 37- - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 15 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(15 - y) + 3y = 37

30 - 2y + 3y = 37

- 2y + 3y = 37 - 30

y = 7

x = 15 - y = 15 - 7

x = 8

A meteorologist who sampled 4 thunderstorms found that the average speed at which they traveled across a certain state was 16 mi
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The  90 % confidence  interval  for the mean population is (11.176  ; 20.824 )

Rounding to at least two decimal places would give 11.18 , 20.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = x`= 16 miles per hour

standard deviation =s= 4.1 miles per hour

n= 4

\frac{s}{\sqrt n}  =  4.1/√4= 4.1/2= 2.05

1-α= 0.9

degrees of freedom =n-1=  df= 3

∈ ( estimator  t with 90 % and df= 3 from t - table ) 2.353

Using Students' t - test

x`±∈ * \frac{s}{\sqrt n}

Putting values

16 ± 2.353 * 2.05

= 16 + 4.82365

20.824  ;        11.176

The  90 % confidence  interval  for the mean population is (11.176  ; 20.824 )

Rounding to at least two decimal places would give 11.18 , 20.83

The length of a rectangle is 3 cm less than twice the width. If the perimeter is 42 cm, what is the length of the rectangle?
larisa [96]

Answer:

The length is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

w+w+l+l= perimeter

if the length is 3m less than twice the width then let's do some math.

42 divided 2 =21. so the width and length of one side have to equal 21. For example, let's use 8 as the width. The length would be twice(16) minus three(13) 13 plus 8 is 21. WOW it equals half of it so no we know the length is 13 and the wdith is 8.

5<br>X Х please find the answer<br>20​
Daniel [21]

Answer:

2 or 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since I do not quite understand what you mean by X X, I could think of two answers. If you are doing 5 times X=20, then X = 4, but if you are trying to do 5 times x times x, then x=2.
