The dimension from 8 inches to actual size is 8 * 15 = 120. 14.5 inches to actual size is 14.5 * 15 = 217.5.

Then, you multiply 120 to 217.5 to get 26100 square miles.

The answer is D.

D. When working with scales, always remember to convert. The dimensions of the actual forest become 8 X 15 and 14.5 X 15. To calculate the area, now just do: (8 X 15) X (14.5 X 15), which equals 26100.

The moon is a sphere with radius of 959 km. Determine an equation for the ellipse if the distance of the satellite from the surf
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

\frac{x^2}{1316^2}+\frac{y^2}{1669^2}=1

Step-by-step explanation:

An ellipse is the locus of a point such that its distances from two fixed points, called foci, have a sum that is equal to a positive constant.

The equation of an ellipse with a center at the origin and the x axis as the minor axis is given by:

\frac{x^2}{b^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2} =1 \\\\where\ a>b

Since the distance of the satellite from the surface of the moon varies from 357 km to 710 km, hence:

b = 357 km + 959 km = 1316 km

a = 710 km + 959 km = 1669 km

Therefore the equation of the ellipse is:

\frac{x^2}{1316^2}+\frac{y^2}{1669^2}=1

A standard card deck has 52 cards consisting of 26 black and 26 red cards. Three cards are dealt from a shuffled​ deck, without
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

6 / 51

Step-by-step explanation:

It is false.

Reason:

The probability of picking a black card at first is:

26 / 52 = 1/2

There are now 25 black cards and 51 cards in total.

The probability of picking another black card, if there's no replacement is now:

25 / 51

Now, there are 24 black cards and 50 cards left in total.

The probability of picking a black card without replacement now becomes:

24 / 50 = 12 / 25

Hence, the probability of picking three black cards without replacement is:

1/2 * 25/51 * 12 / 25 = 300 / 2550

In simplest form, it is 6 / 51
