The probability that either the girls' or boys' team gets a game is 0.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let P(G) represent the probability of girls team getting a game and P(B) represent the probability of the boys team getting a game.

P(B ∪ G) represents the probability of either girls and boys team getting a game.

P(B ∩ G) represents the probability of both girls and boys team getting a game.

Step 2:

It is given that P(G) = 0.8, P(B) = 0.7 and P(B ∩ G) = 0.65

We need to find the probability of either girls or boys team getting a game which is represented by P(B ∪ G)

Step 3:

P(B ∪ G) = P(B) + P(G) - P(B ∩ G)

= 0.8 + 0.7 - 0.65 = 0.85

Step 4:

Answer:

The probability that either the girls' or boys' team gets a game is 0.85

Mr. Sawyer drove his car from his home to New York at the rate of 45 mph and returned over the same road at the rate of 40 mph.

AveGali [126]

Answer: Time taken by him in going = 8 hours

Time taken by him in returning = 9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total distance from home to New York is x miles,

$\text{ Since, Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

Also, he drove his car from his home to New York at the rate of 45 mph,

⇒ $\text{ Time taken by him in going } = \frac{x}{45}\text{ hours}$

And, returned over the same road at the rate of 40 mph.

⇒ $\text{ Time taken by him in returning } = \frac{x}{40}\text{ hours}$

According to the question,

Time taken by him in returning - Time taken by him in going = 30 minutes = 1/2 hours, ( 1 hours = 60 minutes )

⇒ $\frac{x}{40}-\frac{x}{45}=\frac{1}{2}$

⇒ $\frac{9x}{360}-\frac{8x}{360}=\frac{1}{2}$

⇒ $\frac{x}{360} = \farc{1}{2}$

⇒ $2x=720$

⇒ $x=360\text{ miles}$

Hence, the total distance from home to New York = x miles = 360 miles

⇒ $\text{ Time taken by him in going } = \frac{x}{45}\text{ hours}$

$=\frac{360}{45}=8\text{ hours}$

⇒ $\text{ Time taken by him in returning } = \frac{x}{40}\text{ hours}$

$=\frac{360}{40}=9\text{ hours}$

What is the area of the shape below

Bad White [126]

Answer:

The area of the shape is $A=886 \:cm^2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape in the graph is a composite figure is made up of several simple geometric figures such as triangles, and rectangles.

Area is the space inside of a two-dimensional shape. We can also think of area as the amount of space a shape covers.

To calculate the area of a composite shape you must divide the shape into rectangles, triangles or other shapes you can find the area of and then add the areas back together.

First separate the composite shape into three simpler shapes, in this case two rectangles and a triangle. Then find the area of each figure.

To find the area of a rectangle, we multiply the length of the rectangle by the width of the rectangle.

The area of the first rectangle is $A=34\cdot 16=544\:cm^2$

The area of the second rectangle is $A=11\cdot19=209\: cm^2$

The area of a triangle is given by the formula $A=\frac{1}{2} bh$ where <em>b</em> is the base and <em>h</em> is the height of the triangle.

The area of the triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2} \cdot 14\cdot19=133\:cm^2$

Finally, add the areas of the simpler figures together to find the total area of the composite figure.

$A_{composite\:shape}=544+209+133=886 \:cm^2$

A scuba diver is 30 feet below the surface of the water 10 seconds after he entered the water and 100 feet below the surface aft

den301095 [7]

Answer:

2.3 feet/ second

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate of change, we will have to find the difference in his distance travelled and divide it by the time taken to move that distance.

This is given by rate of change = (change in position)/ change in time

From the question, his position changed from 30 ft to 100 ft thus the distance he travelled is = 100ft - 30 ft = 70 ft.

Time taken to travel this distance = 40 seconds - 10 seconds = 30 seconds

Diver's rate of travel = 70 ft / 30 seconds = 2.33333ft/second.

Rounding off the answer to the nearest tenth, we have 2.3 ft/second
