There's always a decimal at the end of a whole number. here it's behind
the last zero. move that decimal so that the non-zero digit is less than
10 but more than 1.
4.73, the decimal was moved 4 places to the left. so the scientific notation is
4.72X10^4
Answer:
A. 30
Step-by-step explanation:
The interquartile range for a box and whiskers plot, is the value from the right side of the box minus the value of the left side of the box.
In this case at the far right side of the box it is at 130, at the far left side of the box it is at 100.
130-100=30
Answer:
A. 5 ft, 4 ft, 3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
When you use the Pythagorean theorem with the numbers of the first choice, you find that these could be the sides of a right triangle:
3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25 = 5²
__
You have found the correct answer at this point.
_____
If you want to check, you can examine the other choices:
C: 6² +10² = 136 ≠ 11²
B: 2² +4² = 20 ≠ 6²
D: 5² +10² = 125 ≠ 15²
_____
<em>Comment on 3-4-5 triangle</em>
As you can see from the above, side measures of 3, 4, and 5 will form a right triangle. This is the smallest set of integers that will do so. It is also the ratios of the only set of side lengths in arithmetic progression that will do so.
This latter fact can help you rule out choices B and D in this problem, because each of those has sides in the progression 1 : 2 : 3.
(3, 4, 5) triangles come up often in algebra and geometry problems. This is a useful "Pythagorean triple" to remember.

Answer:
- red boat distance: 42 miles
- angle at lighthouse: 22°
Step-by-step explanation:
The Law of Cosines can be used to find the distance from the red boat to the lighthouse.
b² = l² +r² -2lr·cos(B)
b² = 18² +30² +2·18·30·cos(120°) = 1764
b = √1764 = 42
The distance from the red boat to the lighthouse is 42 miles.
__
The angle at the lighthouse can be found using the law of sines.
sin(L)/l = sin(B)/b
L = arcsin(l/b·sin(B)) = arcsin(18/42·sin(120°)) ≈ 21.79°
The angle between the boats measured at the lighthouse is about 22°.
