Answer:

1. Yes

2. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Leah wrote 2 different fractions with the same denominator. Both fractions were less than 1.

1. Can their sum equal 1?

Let Leah fractions be \dfrac{6}{7} and \dfrac{1}{7}. Both these fractions have the same denominators and are less than 1. Find their sum:

\dfrac{6}{7}+\dfrac{1}{7}=\dfrac{7}{7}=1

2. Can their sum be greater than 1?

Let Leah fractions be \dfrac{6}{7} and \dfrac{5}{7}. Both these fractions have the same denominators and are less than 1. Find their sum:

\dfrac{6}{7}+\dfrac{5}{7}=\dfrac{11}{7}=1\dfrac{4}{7}>1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan A = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{7}{8} , then

∠ A = tan^{-1} (\frac{7}{8} ) ≈ 41° ( to the nearest degree )

The sum of the angles in the triangle = 180° , then

∠ B + 41° + 90° = 180°

∠ B + 131° = 180° ( subtract 131° from both sides )

∠ B = 49°

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

AB² = BC² + AC² = 7² + 8² = 49 + 64 = 113 ( take square root of both sides )

AB = \sqrt{113} ≈ 10.6 ( to the nearest tenth )

A fisherman leaves his home port and heads in the direction N 70 ° W. He travels d1 = 40 mi and reaches Egg Island. The next day
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

A)82.02 mi

B) 18.7° SE

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, we can see the angles and distance depicted as given in the question. Using parallel angles, we have been able to establish that the internal angle at egg island is 100°.

A) Thus, we can find the distance between the home port and forrest island using law of cosines which is that;

a² = b² + c² - 2bc Cos A

Thus, let the distance between the home port and forrest island be x.

So,

x² = 40² + 65² - 2(40 × 65)cos 100

x² = 1600 + 4225 - (2 × 2600 × -0.1736)

x² = 6727.72

x = √6727.72

x = 82.02 mi

B) To find the bearing from Forrest Island back to his home port, we will make use of law of sines which is that;

A/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC

82.02/sin 100 = 40/sinθ

Cross multiply to get;

sinθ = (40 × sin 100)/82.02

sin θ = 0.4803

θ = sin^(-1) 0.4803

θ = 28.7°

From the diagram we can see that from parallel angles, 10° is part of the total angle θ.

Thus, the bearing from Forrest Island back to his home port is;

28.7 - 10 = 18.7° SE

The <u>correct answers</u> are:

6.5 cm = 65.00001052 torr
6.5 cm = 8665.93 Pa
6.5 cm = 0.08552632119 atm

Explanation

The conversion rate from centimeters mercury (cm Hg) to torr is
1 torr = 0.099999983814461 cm.

We have 6.5 cm; this means to convert we divide:
6.5/0.099999983814461 = 65.00001052

The conversion rate from cm Hg to Pascals (Pa) is
1 cm = 1333.22 Pa

We have 6.5 cm; this means to convert we multiply:
6.5(1333.22) = 8665.93

The conversion rate from cm Hg to atmospheres (atm) is
1 atm = 75.999995199606 cm

We have 6.5 cm; this means to convert we divide:
6.5/75.999995199606 = 0.08552632119
