Answer:

32 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Carmen walked 30 yards due North and 12 yards West.

Now, if we join the initial and final position of Carmen and in this path Carmen comes back to her original position then the path, traveled by Carmen will form a right triangle and the direct path from her initial point to final point will be the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Now, the two perpendicular legs of the triangle are respectively 30 yards and 12 yards.

Therefore, Carmen travel (Applying Pythagoras Theorem) to get back to her initial position by $\sqrt{30^{2} + 12^{2}} = 32.31$ yards ≈ 32 yards (to the nearest yard). (Answer)

In a study of the effect of handedness on athletic ability, participants were divided into three groups: right-handed, left-hand

inessss [21]

Answer:

Option A) Discrete and quantitative

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following situation in the question:

In a study of the effect of handedness on athletic ability.

Variable 1: Handedness - right-handed, left-handed, and ambidextrous

Variable 2: Athletic ability measured on a 12-point scale.

Dependent Variable:

The dependent variable is the response variable and its value depends on the independent variable.

A change in independent variable leads to a change in the dependent variable.

For the given case the athlete ability is the dependent variable that depends on the independent variable of handedness.

Athletic ability is measured on a 12 point scale. thus, it can take numerical values from 0 to 12.

Thus, it is a quantitative variable.

Since theses values are always expressed in whole numbers and not in decimals so they cannot take all the values within an interval.

Thus, it is a discrete variable.

Option A) Discrete and quantitative

An architect wants to draw a rectangle with a diagonal of 13 centimeters. The length of the rectangle is to be 3 centimeters mor

butalik [34]

Answer:

The rectangle is 3.2 cm by 12.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached image for a diagram.

Choose w to represent the width because the length is described by referring to the width: it's 3 more than (add 3) triple (multiplied by 3) the width.

Length = 3w + 3

The diagonal forms two right triangles, each with leg = w, other leg = 3w + 3, hypotenuse = 13.

The Pythagorean Theorem says $(\text{leg})^2+(\text{leg})^2=(\text{hypotenuse})^2$ so

$w^2+(3w+3)^2=13^2\\\\w^2+9w^2+18w+9=169\\\\10w^2+18w-160=0\\\\5w^2+9w-80=0\\$

Now solve using the Quadratic Formula with $a=5,\,b=9,\,c=-80$ .

$w=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\w=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{81+1600}}{10}\\\\w=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{1681}}{10}\\\\w=\frac{-9\pm41}{10}\\\\w=-5\text{ or }w=3.2$

The negative root makes no sense as a distance, so the width of the rectangle is 3.2 cm. The length is 3(3.2) + 3 = 12.6 cm.

Solve 7+x/3 = 2x-5 Give all working out

Ipatiy [6.2K]

X = 36/5
Or x = 7.2

21 + x = 6x - 15
21 = 6x - 15 - x
21 = 5x - 15
21 + 15 = 5x
36 = 5x
36/5 = x
