Answer:

The hikers are 5.9 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let O represents the base camp,

Suppose after walking 3.5 miles west, first hiker's position is A, then after going 1.5 miles north from A his final position is B,

Similarly, after walking 2 miles east, second hiker's position is C then going towards 0.5 miles south his final position is D.

By making the diagram of this situation,

Let D' is the point in the line AB,

Such that, AD' = CD

In triangle BD'D,

BD' = AB + AD' = 1.5 + 0.5 = 2 miles,

DD' = AC = AO + OC = 3.5 + 2 = 5.5 miles,

By Pythagoras theorem,

BD^2 = BD'^2 + DD'^2

BD = \sqrt{2^2 + 5.5^2}=\sqrt{4+30.25}=\sqrt{34.25}\approx 5.9

Hence, the hikers are 5.9 miles apart.

Answer:

0.995 P(at least 2) = 1 – P(X = 0) – P(X=1)

1 – 15C0 * 0.40 *0.615- 15C1*0.41*0.614

1 – 0.0000 – 0.005

= 0.995

What is the width of a box when the length is x+2, the height is x+8, and the volume is x^3+9x^2+6x-16?
Nostrana [21]

(x+2)(x+8) = x^2 +10x +16

(x^2 + 10x + 16)(x-1) = x^3+9x^2+6x-16, so the other dimension is x-1

Answer:

The observation I can make for the values of pi for circles A and B is that the value of pi remains the same whether we find pi using the circumference of the circle or the Area of the circle, the value of pi remains the same for both circles.

Pi = π = 3.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: Using the formula for circumference, solve for the value of pi for each circle. (4 points)

The formula for the circumference of circle when Diameter is given = πD

π = Circumference / Diameter

For Circle A :

Circle A has a diameter of 7 inches, a circumference of 21.98 inches.

π = 21.98 inches/7 inches

π = 3.14

For Circle B

The diameter of circle B is 6 inches, the circumference is 18.84 inches

π = 18.84 inches/6 inches

π = 3.14

Part B: Use the formula for area and solve for the value of pi for each circle. (4 points)

The formula for the area of the circle = πr²

Circle A has a diameter of 7 inches, an area of 38.465 square inches.

r = Radius = 7 inches ÷ 2

= 3.5 inches

π = Area / Radius²

π = 38.465 in²/(3.5 inches)²

π = 3.14

For Circle B

The diameter of circle B is 6 inches, and the area is 28.26 square inches.

r = Radius = 6 inches ÷ 2

= 3 inches

π = Area / Radius²

π = 28.26 in²/(3 inches)²

π = 3.14

Part C: What observation can you make about the value of pi for circles A and B? (2 points)

The observation I can make for the values of pi for circles A and B is that the value of pi remains the same whether we find pi using the circumference of the circle or the Area of the circle, the value of pi remains the same for both circles.
