Answer:

Option c. 30,000

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form y*x=k or y=k/x

Let

y ----> safe load in pounds

x ----> length in feet of a horizontal beam

we have

For x=15\ feet, y=2,000\ pounds

Remember that

k=y*x

substitute

k=2,000*15=30,000

Explain why it is necessary to rename 4 1/4 if you subtract 3/4 from it
Alik [6]
To subtract a number from another number, they must be the same type. 4 1/4 is a mixed number; 3/4 is a fraction. thus, 4 1/4 must be converted into fractional form go subract a fraction (3/4) from it.

Six hundred paving stones were examined for cracks, and 20 were found to be cracked. The same 600 stones were then examined for
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

a) probability that is cracked=1/30 (3.33%)

b) probability that is discoloured = 29/600 (4.83%)

c) probability that is cracked and discoloured =  11/600 (1.83%)

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that each stone is equally likely to be chosen then defining the events C= the stone is cracked , D= the stone is discoloured , N= the stone is neither cracked or discoloured, then

P(C)= number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes = 20 stones/600 stones = 1/30 (3.33%)

P(D)= number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes = 29 stones/600 stones = 29/600 (4.83%)

the probability that is discoloured and cracked is P(C∩D) , where

P(C∪D)=P(C) + P(D)-P(C∩D)

and

P(C∪D)= 1- P(N)

thus

1- P(N)=P(C) + P(D)-P(C∩D)

P(C∩D)= P(N)+P(C)+P(D) -1

replacing values

P(C∩D)= P(N)+P(C)+P(D)=562/600 + 20/600 + 29/600 -1= 611/600 -1 = 11/600

thus

P(C∩D)=  11/600 (1.83%)

Find the angles please please
IceJOKER [234]
Angle BAC
cosφ⁻¹ = (10² + 17² - 11²)/(2*10*17) = 37.9 ≈ 38°
Angle ACB
cosφ⁻¹ = (10² + 11² - 17²)/(2*10*11) = 108.0°
Angle ABC
cosφ⁻¹ = (11² + 17² - 10²)/(2*11*17) = 34.0°
See you !
