Answer:
two circles are externally tangent to each other. One circle has a diameter of 62 yards and the distance between the centers of
the two circles is 85 yards. What is the diameter of the other crop circle
1 answer:
Answer:
108 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let circle A be the circle with the 62 yard diameter
Let circle B be the circle whose diameter we are trying to solve for.
- Externally tangent circles are circles which touch each other and share a common external tangent.
- Circle A has a tangent of 62 yards and thus a radius ( half the diameter) of 31 yards.
- The distance between the centers of the 2 circles is 85 yards. If you subtract the radius ( distance from the center of the circle to its circumference) of circle A then we'll only be left with the radius of circle B.
- 85 - 31= 54 yards which is the radius of circle B
- To get the diameter: 54 x 2 = 108 yards

Using concepts of <u>sample and population</u>, it is found that the sample variance is representative of 362 and 5530 customers ages, option D.
------------------------
In sampling, the <u>information is taken from a sample</u>, and is used to <u>estimate it for the whole population</u>.
- In this problem, we have a sample of 362 and a population of 5530 customers.
- The sample variance
is calculated from the sample, and used as an estimate for the population variance. Thus, it can be said that it represents both 362 and 5530 customers, and the correct option is D.
