Cherie is jogging around a circular track. She

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Measure of minor angle JOG is $95.5^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a circular track of radius 120 yards. Assume that Cherie starts from point J and runs 200 yards up to point G.

$\therefore m JG = 200 yards, JO=120 yards$ .

Now the measure of minor arc is same as measure of central angle. Therefore minor angle is the central angle $\angle JOG = \theta$ .

To calculate the central angle, use the arc length formula as follows.

$Arc\:Length\left(s\right) = r\:\theta$

Where $\theta$ is measured in radian.

Substituting the value,

$200=120\:\theta$

Dividing both side by 120,

$\dfrac{200}{120}=\theta$

Reducing the fraction into lowest form by dividing numerator and denominator by 40.

$\therefore \dfrac{5}{3}=\theta$

Therefore value of central angle is $\angle JOG = \theta=\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right)^{c}$ , since angle is in radian

Now convert radian into degree by using following formula,

$1^{c}=\left(\dfrac{180}{\pi}\right)^{\circ}$

So multiplying $\theta$ with $\left(\dfrac{180}{\pi}\right)^{\circ}$ to convert it into degree.

$\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right)^{c}=\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right) \times \left(\dfrac{180}{\pi}\right)^{\circ}$

Simplifying,

$\therefore \theta = 95.49^{circ}$

So to nearest tenth, $\angle JOG=95.5^{circ}$

Jason inherited a piece of land from his great-uncle. Owners in the area claim that there is a 45% chance that the land has oil.

inn [45]

P ( A ) = 0.45 - probability that the land has oil,
P ( B ) = 0.8 - probability that the test predicts it
P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ) · P ( B ) = 0.45 · 0.8 = 0.36
Answer: The probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it is 36 %.

Kalon and his friend Marna own a chimney sweep service company. Working together, they can clean a chimney in 1 5/7 hours. If it

QveST [7]

The amount of work done by Kalon in an hour is equal to 1/4. This is based on his time to finish the job. Letting x be the number of hours Marna can finish the job alone will let her finish 1/x of the job in an hour. If their rates are added together and multiplied by the number of hours they worked together, the product should be one whole job.
(1/4 + 1/x)(1 5/7) = 1
The value of x is 3. Therefore, it will take 3 hours for Marna to clean the chimney alone.
