Answer: a continuous random variable
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Can you count the distance it traveled?</em></u> You can't, so it couldn't be discrete because you can count discrete variables.
<u><em>Can you measure the distance it traveled? </em></u>You sure can, that makes it a continuous random variable.
<u><em>Do you know the exact distance it's going to travel?</em></u><u> </u>You won't, therefore it's a random variable since you don't know the value beforehand.
We can solve this by drawing a triangle with three points. The first point at Fort Collins (F), the second at Cheyenne (C) and the third at Laramie (L).
The angle at F = 46.5, the angle at L = 43.6. We know the side opposite angle L = 3.2 (side FC), now we must solve for the side opposite angle F (side LC).
We can use the law of sines to solve this where:
sinA/a = sinB/b
sin43.6/ 3.2 = sin46.5/LC
LC = 3.2 (sin46.5/sin43.6)
LC = 3.37 inches
We are told 1 in = 10.6 miles, therefore:
3.37 inches x 10.6 miles/in = 36 miles from Laramie to Cheyenne.

Answer:
D) 24x + 52
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the purple rectangle is
P =2(l+w)
=2 (4x+5 + 2x+7)
Combine like terms
=2 (6x+12)
Distribute
= 12x +24
The perimeter of the white rectangle is
P =2(l+w)
P =2(3x+14 +3x)
Combine like terms
=2(6x+14)
Distribute
12x +28
Add the perimeters
12x +24 + 12x +28
24x +52
