Answer:

1.5 nautical miles

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

The submarine starts to dive at point A and diving along AB.

If the distance traveled underwater i.e. AB = 1.7 Nautical miles and C is the point directly above its current position at B.

Then Δ ABC is a right triangle having ∠ BAC = 28° {Given}

So, using trigonometry we can write  

\cos 28 = \frac{AC}{AB} = \frac{AC}{1.7}

⇒ AC = 1.7 \times \cos 28 = 1.5 nautical miles.

Therefore, the surface distance that the submarine travels is 1.5 nautical miles. (Answer)

How do you solve this system of equations using the addition method:

x
=
−
2
,
y
=
−
4
Explanation:
Right now, you have:
4
x
−
y
=
−
4

5
x
+
2
y
=
−
18
To make this easier, you must get rid of one variable, in this case I will remove
y
, to do this you must make the y-values in both equations the same.
To do this, I will multiply the whole of
4
x
−
y
=
−
4
by 2 to give
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8
We now have:
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8

5
z
+
2
y
=
−
18
All we need to do now is
(
8
x
−
2
y
+
5
x
+
2
y
)
=
(
−
18
−
8
)
≡
13
x
=
−
26
.
Divide both sides by 13 to find
x
:
13
x
=
−
26

13
x
13
=
−
26
13

x
=
−
2
Now put your value for
x
into either equation:
4
(
−
2
)
−
y
=
−
4

−
8
−
y
=
−
4

y
=
−
8
+
4

y
=
−
4
x
=
−
2
;
y
=

Making Friends Online
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

) Do you expect the distribution of number of friends made online to be symmetric, skewed to the right, or skewed to the left?

Skewed to the left.

Symmetric

Skewed to the right.

(b) Two measures of center for this distribution are 1 friend and 5.3 friends. Which is most likely to be the mean and which is most likely to be the median?

Mean=

Median=

<h2>----------------------------------</h2>

a)

as proportion of people with 0 friends is 43% whcih is on left side and maximum ; and % decrease with increasing number of friends

skewed to the right

b)

as it is skewed to the right ; therefore mean is greater than median

mean=5.3

median=1

[since for skwewed to the right distribution :mean is always greater than median, therefore higher value should be mean which is 5.3 and lower value is median which is 1]
