Find the distance between A and B?

a bowl can hold 3 1/3 cups of water. a bowl can hold 2 3/5 timea the amount in the glass. how many cups can a bowl hold?

nadezda [96]

Since it says ''times'', you have to change the mixed numbers into fractions which will turn the equation into 10/3 x 13/5 which = 130/15. When you turn that into a mixed number, it changes into 8 10/15 or 8 2/3.

ANSWER: 8 2/3

The longer leg of a right triangle is 4 more than the short leg. The hypotenuse is eight less than the sum of the 2 legs.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

SteLet a = short leg of the right triangle, b = the longer leg, and c = the hypotenuse.

The longer leg of a right triangle is 4inches longer than the shorter leg: b = a + 4

The hypotenuse is 8inches longer than the shorter leg: c = a + 8

Use the Pythagorean Theorem:

a2 + b2 = c2

a2 + (a+4)2 = (a+8)2

a2 + a2 + 8a + 16 = a2 + 16a + 64

a2 - 8a - 48 = 0

Factors to:

(a-12)(a+4) = 0

a = 12, -4

Since we can't have a side of -4, a = 12

Shorter Leg = 12 inches

Longer Leg = 12 + 4 = 16 inches

Hypotenuse = 12 + 8 = 20 inches

Sam is at the top of a tower and will ride down a zip line to a lower tower. The total vertical drop of the zip line is 40 ft. T

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

149.30ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the vertical distance between the two tower = 40ft

The angle of elevation from the lower tower to te higher tower = 15°

The horizontal distance between the two towers = x

Assuming the angle of elevation and the distance between the two towers makes a right angle triangle, we can use SOHCAHTOA and determine which one would be suitable to find x.

Check attached document for better illustration of the triangle.

Tanθ = opposite / adjacent

Opposite = 40

θ = 15°

Adjacent = x

Tan15 = 40 / x

0.2679 = 40 / x

X = 40 / 0.2679

X = 149.30ft

The horizontal distance between the two towers is 149.30ft

Suppose the weights of the Boxers at this club are Normally distributed with a mean of 166 pounds and a standard deviation of 5.

lesya [120]

Answer:

0.1994 is the required probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 166 pounds

Standard Deviation, σ = 5.3 pounds

Sample size, n = 20

We are given that the distribution of weights is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Standard error due to sampling =

$=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{5.3}{\sqrt{20}} = 1.1851$

P(sample of 20 boxers is more than 167 pounds)

$P( x > 167) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{167 - 166}{1.1851}) = P(z > 0.8438)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq 0.8438)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x > 167) = 1 - 0.8006= 0.1994 = 19.94\%$

0.1994 is the probability that the mean weight of a random sample of 20 boxers is more than 167 pounds

How many solutions does the equation 6n − 6n − 12 = 14 − 2 have? two one none infinite

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

6n - 6n - 12 = 14 - 2 = 12 ( add 12 to both sides )

0 = 24 ← not possible

this indicates the equation has no solution
