By the pythagorean theorem the diagonal length will be:

d^2=x^2+y^2  and since this is a square x=y so

d^2=2x^2 and since d=15

225=2x^2

x^2=112.5

x=√112.5 yds

x≈10.6 yds  (to nearest tenth of a yard)

Two turtles race. The speed of the first is 4 1/ 2 inches per minute and the speed of the other is 5 inches per minute How far a
RSB [31]

Answer:

(a) 1.5 inches

(b) 2.5 inches

(c) 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of first turtle = 4 1/2 inches per  minute = 9/2 inches per minute

speed of the second turtle = 5inches per minute

distance = speed x time

(a) Distance traveled by first turtle in 3 minutes

s = 9/2 x 3 = 13.5 inches

distance traveled by second turtle in 3 minutes

s' = 5 x 3 = 15 inches

So, the gap is

s'- s = 15 - 13.5 = 1.5 inches

(b) Distance traveled by first turtle in 5 minutes

s = 9/2 x 5 = 22.5 inches

distance traveled by second turtle in 5 minutes

s' = 5 x 5 = 25 inches

So, the gap is

s'- s = 25 - 22.5 = 2.5 inches

(c) Distance traveled by first turtle in 10 minutes

s = 9/2 x 10 = 45 inches

distance traveled by second turtle in 10 minutes

s' = 5 x 10 = 50 inches

So, the gap is

s'- s = 50 - 45 = 5 inches

Find the values of X and Y.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

x = 90°

y = 43°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that one angle equals 47°.

The two triangles are right triangles, so that makes x = 90°.

To find y, we add 90 + 47.

That would give us 137°.

All triangles add up to 180°.

180 - 137 = 43.

43° is the answer.

2. Continuous data are usually _____________________, but discrete data are usually ______________________.
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Measured and Counted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuous data are usually “Measured”, but discrete data are usually “Counted”.

The continuous data are the data that can be measured, for example, Height of children, time in the race, length of leaf, etc. In this case, the data is taken within the range. While the discrete data is the data that can be counted. For example, the number of employees in the office, the number of students in the school, the result of rolling dice, etc. In this case, the data is a fixed number. Accordingly, the continuous data is measurable and discrete data is countable.
