Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll note the numbers as x_{n}, x_{n+1} ...

x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 = 20\\Avg = 5\\\frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5 }{5} = 6 = \frac{20 + x_5}{5}\\ 4 + \frac{x_5}{5} = 6\\\\frac{x_5}{5} = 2\\\x_5 = 10

Answer:

10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of the 5 numbers =

(20 + x) / 5 = 6  where x is the 5th number.

20 + x = 30

x = 10

The fifth number is 10.

A satellite is in orbit 600\ \mathrm{k}\mathrm{m}600 km above Earth's surface. Earth's radius is about 6370\ \mathrm{k}\mathrm{m
yKpoI14uk [10]

The distance from the satellite to the Earth's horizon is 6398 km

<h3>Pythagoras theorem</h3>

Pythagoras theorem is used to show the relationship between the sides of a right angled triangle. It is given by:

Hypotenuse side² = Adjacent side² + Opposite side²

Let x represent the distance from the satellite to the Earth's horizon

Hence:

  • x² = 6370² + 600²
  • x² = 40936900
  • x = 6398 km

The distance from the satellite to the Earth's horizon is 6398 km

Which of the following ratio is equivalent to 3/16? a. 16:3
Ostrovityanka [42]
If one ratio is equivalent to another, that means that you multiply the top and the bottom on one ratio by a constant to get the larger ratio.  D does that here for us.  We have to multiply 3 by 5 to get to 15, so 16 times 5 better be 80 and it is.
