3. Riley noticed an aquarium in his mother’s office. The aquarium has the dimensions 16 in. by 8.5 in. by 10.5 in. The formula f

or volume is: . Another aquarium in the building has dimensions that are each triple the dimensions of the aquarium in Riley’s mother’s office. Riley thought that the volume would also triple. Is Riley correct? How many times greater is the volume of the larger aquarium than the volume of the smaller one? Show your work and explain your reasoning.

16x8.5x10.5=1428in

so then u multiply by 3 and that would equal 4,284

so yes therefore u would triple the demsions

In one area, the lowest angle of elevation of the sun in winter is 27.5°. Find the minimum distance x that a plant needing full
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The minimum distance x that a plant needing full sun can be placed from a fence that is 5 feet high is 4.435 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the lowest angle of elevation of the sun given as 27.5° and the height of the fence is 5 feet.

We will then find the position to place the plant where the suns rays can get to the base of the plant

Note that the fence is in between the sun and the plant, therefore we have

Height of fence = 5 ft.

Angle of location x from the fence = lowest angle of elevation of the sun, θ

This forms a right angled triangle with the fence as the height and the location of the plant as the base

Therefore, the length of the base is given as

Height × cos θ

= 5 ft × cos 27.5° = 4.435 ft

The plant should be placed at a location x = 4.435 ft from the fence.

An umbrella is made by stitching 10 triangular pieces of clothes of 2 different colors, each piece measuring 9 cm, 40 cm and 41
malfutka [58]

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangular piece of cloth is a right triangle because 41^2 = 40^2 + 9^2 (By the Pythagoras theorem).

So the area of one piece = 1/2 * 9 * 40  cm^2.

The total amount of cloth  required for one umbrella = 10 * 1/2 * 9 * 40

= 1800 cm^2.

The total cost =  1800 * 0.25 = Rs 450.

The probability that a rental car will be stolen is. 4. if 3500 cars are rented, what is the approximate poisson probability tha
kozerog [31]

Using the Poisson distribution, there is a 0.8335 = 83.35% probability that 2 or fewer will be stolen.

<h3>What is the Poisson distribution?</h3>

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes
  • e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
  • \mu is the mean in the given interval.

The probability that a rental car will be stolen is 0.0004, hence, for 3500 cars, the mean is:

\mu = 3500 \times 0.0004 = 1.4

The probability that 2 or fewer cars will be stolen is:

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

In which:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.4}1.4^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.2466

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-1.4}1.4^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.3452

P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-1.4}1.4^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2417

Then:

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.2466 + 0.3452 + 0.2417 = 0.8335

0.8335 = 83.35% probability that 2 or fewer will be stolen.

If you ran exactly one mile, how many feet did you run
elena-s [515]

Solution:

we have been asked to find

If you ran exactly one mile, how many feet did you run.

It mean , we will have to convert miles in feet.

As we know that

1 mile is equivalent to 5280 feet.

Hence , we can use this conversion to get the exact value of miles in feet.

If you ran exactly one mile,it mean you ran exactly for 5280 feet.
