Answer:

$d=7.07$

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Formula: $d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d:

$d=\sqrt{(3-(-2))^2+(-4-1)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(3+2)^2+(-5)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(5)^2+25}$

$d=\sqrt{25+25}$

$d=\sqrt{50}$

$d=5\sqrt{2}$

$d=7.07$

mezya [45]

Answer:

12 cm = 21.62 miles

6 cm = 11.04 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, set up a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. We form the ratios by using corresponding values. We write a ratio of $\frac{map}{real world}$ and simplify.

We know $\frac{map}{real world}=\frac{0.5in}{2.3 miles}$ . We know the distance on the map is 12 cm and 6 cm whish converts to 4.7 inches and 2.4 inches. We can write $\frac{4.7in}{xmiles}$ and $\frac{2.4in}{xmiles}$

We set them equal.

$\frac{0.5}{2.3}=\frac{4.7}{x}$

and

$\frac{0.5}{2.3}=\frac{2.4}{x}$

To solve each proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

$2.3(4.7)=0.5(x)\\10.81=0.5x\\\frac{10.81}{0.5}=\frac{0.5x}{0.5} \\21.62 miles=x$

and

$2.3(2.4)=0.5(x)\\5.52=0.5x\\\frac{5.52}{0.5}=\frac{0.5x}{0.5} \\11.04 miles=x$

Based on data collected from its production processes, Crosstiles Inc. determines that the breaking strength of its most popular

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

16% of its popular porcelain tile will have breaking strengths greater than 412.5 pounds per square inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the breaking strength of its most popular porcelain tile is normally distributed with a mean of 400 pounds per square inch and a the standard deviation of 12.5 pounds per square inch.

Let X = the breaking strength of its most popular porcelain tile

SO, X ~ Normal( $\mu=400,\sigma^{2}=12.5^{2}$ )

The z score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = mean breaking strength of porcelain tile = 400 pounds per square inch

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 12.5 pounds per square inch

Now, probability that the popular porcelain tile will have breaking strengths greater than 412.5 pounds per square inch is given by = P(X > 412.5)

P(X > 412.5) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{412.5-400}{12.5}$ ) = P(Z > 1) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1)
