Answer: A RECTANGLE ( It has four sides, its opposite sides are congruent and all its angles measure 90 degrees)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember the definition of a "Cross section".

In Geometry a "Cross section" is defined as that shape obtained when a three-dimensional figure is sliced by a plane.

In this case, according to the information given in the exercise, the cheese block has the shape of a cylinder. This is the three-dimensional figure.

Observe in the picture attached in the exercise that the cylinder-shaped cheese block is cut through perpendicular to its base.

By definition, when this perpendicular cut happens, the shape obtained is a Quadrilateral which has four equal angles that measure 90 degrees and whosepposite sides are parallel have equal length.

Therefore, you can conclude that the two-dimensional cross section that would be created by slicing the cylinder-shaped cheese block perpendicular to its base,is: A RECTANGLE.

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Katie will collect more than 100 seashells in 5 and a half days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Katie already has 34 seashells in her collection.

Each day, she finds 12 more seashells on the beach.

Let x be the number of days Katie is collecting seashells.

In x days, she will collect 12x seashells.

In total, she will collect $34+12x$ seashells.

Katie wants to collect over 100 seashells, so

$34+12x> 100$

Solve this inequality. Subtract 34:

$34+12x-34>100-34\\ \\12x>66\\ \\2x>11\\ \\x>5 \dfrac{1}{2}$

Katie will collect more than 100 seashells in 5 and a half days.

The option that represents the answers for 6, 8, 10, and 14 is the second option- 31, 41, 51, 71

<h3>Sequence and Series </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the option that represents the answer for pictures 6, 8, 10, and 14

In the given diagram,

The first picture requires 6 matches

The 2nd picture requires additional 5 matches

the 3rd picture requires additional 5 matches

and so on

That is

1 → 6

2 → 6 + 5 = 11

3 → 11 + 5 = 16

4 → 16 + 5 = 21

5 → 21 + 5 = 26

6 → 26 + 5 = 31

7 → 31 + 5 = 36

8 → 36 + 5 = 41

9 → 41 + 5 = 46

10 → 46 + 5 = 51

11 → 51 + 5 = 56

12 → 56 + 5 = 61

13 → 61 + 5 = 66

14 → 66 + 5 = 71

Hence, the option that represents the answers for 6, 8, 10, and 14 is the second option- 31, 41, 51, 71

The sum of two numbers is 30.the first number is 1/5 of the second number. what are the numbers?

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The 2md number can be y. This makes the first number 1/5 of y

Your equation is y + 1/5y = 30
You can randomly plug in numbers and you get that the first number is 5. This means that the second number is 25

The length of time for one individual to be served at a cafeteria is a random variable having an exponential distribution with a

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a) 0.25

b) 52.76% probability that a person waits for less than 3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

$f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x}$

In which $\lambda = \frac{1}{m}$ is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

$P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx$

Which has the following solution:

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

$P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}$

In this question:

$m = 4$

a. Find the value of λ.

$\lambda = \frac{1}{m} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25$

b. What is the probability that a person waits for less than 3 minutes?

$P(X \leq 3) = 1 - e^{-0.25*3} = 0.5276$

52.76% probability that a person waits for less than 3 minutes

Enter the volume of the right rectangular prim in cubic inches

Sati [7]

Answer:

602 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find volume, multiply length, width, and height. In this case, it is 5, 14, and 8 3/5. I used a calculator, but if not, solve it using regular multiplication. First 5 times 14 since that is easier to get out of the way, then 8 3/5, and it is easiest to treat a fraction as a decimal when multiplying, in this case it would be 0.6. I am not going to explain how I got that since you were asking how to find volume.
