Hawick is 15 kilometers south of Abbotsford, and Kelso is 17 kilometers east of Abbotsford. What is the distance from Hawick to Kelso? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a km.

Answer:

22.7 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape formed by this problem is a right triangle which is attached.

We apply Pythagoras Theorem

$x^2=17^2+15^2\\x^2=514\\x=22.7\: km$

The distance from Hawick to Kelso is 22.7 km (to the nearest tenth of a km)

Answer:

1) f

4 * ¼ = 1 (Multiplicative inverse property)

2) c

6 * 1 = 6 (Identity property of multiplication)

3) h

5 + 7 = 7 + 5 (Commutative property of addition)

4) j

If 5 + 1 = 6 and 4 + 2 = 6, then 5 + 1 = 4 + 2 (Transitive property)

5) a

4(x - 3) = 4x - 12 (Distributive property)

6) i

3(5) = 5(3) (Commutative property of multiplication)

7) k

Rules that allow us to take short cuts when solving algebraic problems.(Properties)

8) d

5 * (3 * 2) = (5 * 3) * 2 (Associative property of multiplication)

9) g

4 + (-4) = 0 (Additive inverse property)

10) e

2 + 0 = 2 (Identity property of addition)

11) b

A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C (Associative property of addition)

Find the value for x

Delvig [45]

Answer:

X = 6°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a set of parallel lines, the opposite angles and corresponding angles are similar. Since the opposite angle of 110° is the corresponding angle of 19x - 4, you can conclude that 19x - 4 = 110° ⇒ 19x = 114° ⇒ x = 6°.

The number of square feet per house are normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 137 square feet and an unkn

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that X, the number of square feet per house is N(mean, 137)

Sample size = 19

Sample mean x bar =1350 sq ft

Since population std dev is given,

std error of sample = $\frac{137}{\sqrt{19} } \\=31.43$
