I'm having a hard time with this. A new housing development extends 4 miles in one direction, makes a right turn, and then con-

tinues for 3 miles. A new road runs between the beginning and ending points of the development. What is the perimeter of the triangle formed by the homes and the road? What is the area of the housing development?

Answer:

perimeter = 12 miles

area = 6 square miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it makes a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Formula.

3^2+4^2=c^2

9+16=c^2

25=c^2

5=c, so the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 5.

Perimeter = 3+4+5 = 12 miles

area = 1/2bh (1/2 base times height)

=1/2x3x4

=6

Area = 6 square miles

➷ The formula to calculate the circumference is \pi d

d is the diameter (double the radius)

Substitute the values in:

Circumference = (3.14)(3 x 2)

Circumference = 18.84

It would be option D. 18.84 m

A King in ancient times agreed to reward the inventor of chess with one grain of wheat on the first of the 64 squares of a chess
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Total weight of the wheat placed on 45th square will be = 1.26\times 10^{6}tons

Step-by-step explanation:

King rewarded the inventor of chess by giving grain of wheat on every square of the chess board. He places one  grain of wheat on first square, 2 on second, 4 on 3rd, 8 on 4th and so on.

In fact he places grains of wheat in a progression S = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.........n terms where value of n is 64.

We can rewrite the progression as S = 2°, 2, 2², 2³,.........n terms (n = 64)

In a geometric progression we know the nth term = a(r^{n-1})

where a = first term of the series, r = common ratio, n = number of terms

Now we have to calculate the weight of all wheat placed on 45th square.

So we will put the values in the given formula 45th term =

1\times (2^{45-1}) = 2^{44}=1.76\times 10^{13}

Then the weight of wheat will be = 2.51\times 10^{9}pounds=1.26\times 10^{6}tons

Question 6 The mineral content of a particular brand of supplement pills is normally distributed with mean 490 mg and variance o
AysviL [449]

Answer:

0.3085 = 30.85% probability that a randomly selected pill contains at least 500 mg of minerals

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean 490 mg and variance of 400.

This means that \mu = 490, \sigma = \sqrt{400} = 20

What is the probability that a randomly selected pill contains at least 500 mg of minerals?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 500. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{500 - 490}{20}

Z = 0.5

Z = 0.5 has a p-value of 0.6915.

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085

0.3085 = 30.85% probability that a randomly selected pill contains at least 500 mg of minerals
