Mary's house is approximately 49.73 miles from her grandmother's house.

The distances the three drove were;

Mary drove for 49.73 miles, Theo drove 50 miles and Nancy drove 53.299 miles.

Explanation:

The given triangle has a 13 mile long adjacent side, a 48 mile long opposite side and the distance of Mary's route is the hypotenuse. As we have two sides of the triangle, we can solve for the length of the other side by using Pythagoras' theorem.
Assume the hypotenuse of the triangle measures x miles. According to Pythagoras theorem, x = √(13² + 48²) , x = √169 + 2,304 x = √2,473 = 49.729. Rounding this off, we get Mary's route was 49.73 miles long.
Nancy drove √2,840 miles = 53.2916 miles.
So Mary drove the shortest distance of 49.73 miles, second shortest was Theo who drove for 50 miles and the longest was Nancy who drove for 53.299 miles.

Consider a study conducted to determine the average protein intake among an adult population. Suppose that a confidence level of

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

With an ageing population, dietary approaches to promote health and independence later in life are needed. In part, this can be achieved by maintaining muscle mass and strength as people age. New evidence suggests that current dietary recommendations for protein intake may be insufficient to achieve this goal and that individuals might benefit by increasing their intake and frequency of consumption of high-quality protein. However, the environmental effects of increasing animal-protein production are a concern, and alternative, more sustainable protein sources should be considered. Protein is known to be more satiating than other macronutrients, and it is unclear whether diets high in plant proteins affect the appetite of older adults as they should be recommended for individuals at risk of malnutrition. The review considers the protein needs of an ageing population (>40 years old), sustainable protein sources, appetite-related implications of diets high in plant proteins, and related areas for future research.

100 points for the answer

lora16 [44]

Answer:

83 in.^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The entire polygon consists of a rectangle with length 8 in. and width 5 in., a triangle with base 8 in. and height 7 in., and another triangle with base 5 in. and height 6 in.

The total are is the sum of the area of the rectangle and the two triangles.

area = area of rectangle + area of first triangle + area of second triangle

area = LW + bh/2 (for the first triangle) + bh/2 (for the second triangle)

area = 8 in. * 5 in. + 8 in. * 7 in. / 2 + 5 in. * 6 in. / 2

area = 40 in.^2 + 28 in.^2 + 15 in.^2

area = 83 in.^2

Solve each system by elimintaion. x-y=11 2x+y=19

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

X - Y = 11 -------1

2x + y = 19 --------2

Solving by elimination method 

Multiple equation 1 by 2

2( X - y )= 22

2x - 2y = 22

2x + y = 19

Y = 3

Putting value of y= 3 in equation 1

X - 3 = 11

X = 11 + 3

X = 14

<h3>Value of X = 14 and Y = 3 </h3>
