Gilligan sees a ship coming close to the shore he's standing on. He wants to determine the distance (SD) from the ship to the sh

ore. He walks 130 ft along the shore from point D to point C and marks that spot. Then he walks 23 ft further and marks point B. He turns 90°and walks until his location (point A), point C, and point S are collinear. Answer the following questions making sure to show all your work. (a) Can Gilligan conclude that triangle ABC and triangle SDC are similar? Why or why not? (b) Suppose AB = 90 ft. What can Gilligan conclude about the distance of the ship from the shore? Explain.

Answer:

A) Gilligan can conclude that triangle ABC and triangle SDC are similar.

B) He can conclude that the distance is longer than the hypotenuses of the triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) This is because they are the same shape and have proportionate sizes.

B) This is because if AB = 90 feet, he knows that the distance will be about the same length as the hypotenuses of the triangles.

arsen [322]

Answer:

The correct answer is "0.0000039110".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Y_n\rightarrow N(\mu, \sigma^2)

\mu = 40n

\sigma^2=100n

n=20

then,

The required probability will be:

= P(Y_{20}>1000)

= P(\frac{Y_{20}-\mu}{\sigma} >\frac{1000-40\times 20}{\sqrt{100\times 20} } )

= P(Z>\frac{1000-800}{44.7214} )

= P(Z>\frac{200}{44.7214} )

= P(Z>4.47)

By using the table, we get

= 0.0000039110

Given h(x) = |x+3| -5
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The parent function f(x) is equal to f\left(x\right)=\left|x\right|

The translations is 3 units to the left and 5 units down

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

h\left(x\right)=\left|x+3\right|-5

The vertex of the function h(x) is the point (-3,-5)

we know that the parent function f(x) is equal to

f\left(x\right)=\left|x\right|

The vertex of the function f(x) is the point (0,0)

so

The rule of the transformation of f(x) to h(x) is equal to

(x,y) -----> (x-3,y-5)

That means ----> The translations is 3 units to the left and 5 units down

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

A) 8+15m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we can't do anything within the parentheses, they go away.

8+14m+m

Combine like terms

8+15m

Hope this helps
