Answer:

85.44 miles apart

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question;

  • The airplane flew 80 miles west and 30 miles north

We are supposed to determine how far apart are the airports.

  • The shortest distance will be the displacement from the initial point.
  • We are going to use the Pythagoras theorem;
  • a² + b² = c² , where a and b are the legs of a right angled triangle and c is the hypotenuse.
  • Therefore, in this case; our legs will be 30 miles and 80 miles, so we need to determine the hypotenuse;

That is;

c² = 80² + 30²

    = 6400 + 900

    = 7300

c = √7300

  = 85.44

Thus, the airports are 85.44 miles apart

A company can send a maximum of 40 workers to complete a
rewona [7]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sake of the problem, let's make female workers "x" and male workers "y".

x+y<40       This equation shows that the total number of workers has a max of 40.

30x+20y<1,000      This equation shows that the total cost the manager pays ($30 to each woman, $20 to each man) has a max of $1,000.  

Now you can solve for x and y.

X+y<40

-y       -y

X<-y+40

Substitute -y+40 in for X in the second equation

30(-y+40)+20y<1,000      

-30y+1200+20y<1,000         Distribute

-10y+1,200<1,000      Combine like terms

-10y<-200                   Subtract 1,200

y>20                Divide by -10; flip the sign

Since y>20, and y=male workers, you now know that the minimum

number of male workers he should send is 20

Put 3/8, 2/5, and 0.38 from least to greatest
Vesnalui [34]
3/8=0.375
2/5=0.4
0.38=0.38

0.375<0.38<0.4

therefore: 3/8,0.38,2/5

*Remember that you can convert fractions to decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator! This makes it much easier to compare :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the lengths of two sides and the angle between them, so use the Law of Cosines to find the third side.

x^2 = 10.5^2+ 5.4^2 -2(10.5)(5.4)cos20°

x ≈ 5.73 units
