Answer: The fire is 3.5 miles from tower B
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram. The triangle in the attached diagram illustrates the clues given in the question. Both rangers are standing at points A and B respectively with a distance of 5 miles between them, which is line AB. Also, one ranger spots a fire from a tower at an angle of 42 degrees, which is point A. Another ranger spots the same fire from another tower, but from an angle of 64 degrees, which is point B. The fire is at point C on the triangle. Now we have a triangle with only one side known (5 miles) and three angles known (the third angle is computed as 180 - {64+42} which equals 74) which are 64 degrees, 42 degrees and 74 degrees.
The distance from the fire to tower B is calculated using the law of sines. (Note that this is not a right angled triangle, hence we cannot use trigonometric ratios). The law of sines is expressed as follows;
a/SinA = b/SinB or
a/SinA = c/SinC
Depending on the sides and angles we are given and the ones we are to calculate.
The distance from the fire to tower B is line BC, labeled as a in our diagram. Using the law of sines
a/SinA = c/SinC
(Note also that a is directly facing angle A, c is directly facing angle C, and so on)
a/SinA = c/SinC
a/Sin 42 = 5/Sin 74
By cross multiplication we now have
a (Sin 74) = 5 (Sin 42)
Divide both sides of the equation by Sin 74 and we now arrive at
a = 5 (Sin 42)/Sin 74
a = 5 (0.6691)/0.9613
a = 3.3455/0.9613
a = 3.4802
{rounded to the nearest tenth of a mile, a equals 3.5}
Therefore the distance from tower B to the fire is approximately 3.5 miles
Answer:
They will not have the same weight during the program
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of weeks.
<u>Sandra:</u>
Sandra is starting at 150 pounds and plans to lose 1 pound a week.
Weight after x weeks:

<u>Bernice:</u>
Bernice is starting at 135 pounds and plans to lose 1/2 a pound a week.
Weight after x weeks:

Weights must be the same, so

Since 30 weeks is more that 12 weeks (the duration of the program), they will not have the same weight during this program.

- 6. True
- 7. D) 17.62%
=========================================
Explanations:
3. We have negative correlation because the regression line is going downhill (move from left to right). The points are fairly close to the same regression line, so I'd say we have either moderate or fairly strong negative correlation. That means r is fairly close to -1. It's not -1 exactly since that would have to mean all points are on the same line.
-----------------
4. Negative correlation goes with negative r values. Refer to problem 3. Positive correlation goes to positive r values. The r value will most likely not equal the slope value, but they share the same sign.
----------------
5. If r is close to +1, then we have fairly strong positive linear correlation. If r is close to -1, then we have fairly strong negative linear correlation. If r = 0 or close to it, then we should use some other kind of regression tool. Or perhaps the data points are simply randomly scattered about and they have no pattern at all.
-----------------
6. Refer to problem 5.
-----------------
7. Plug in x = 15 and you should find that y = -0.632(15)+27.1 = 17.62, which means that the estimated tip is roughly 17.62% of the bill.
