Answer: The slant height is 2√3 meters.

Step-by-step explanation: The side adjacent to the 60 degree angle in the right triangle consisting of x, the lateral edge, and half of the base edge is half of the base edge, 2m. The side opposite of that angle is x. So basically you have tan(60°) = x/(2m)*tan(60°) = x = 2√3m. So thus the slant height is 2√3 meters.

Answer:

= 2√3 m or 3.464

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine,

sin(60”) = x / 4 multiply both sides by 4

4 sin (60°) = x

4 * √3 / 2 = x

x = 2√3 m

slant height =2√3 m

Answer:

Don't spin the barrel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each time you spin the barrel, the probability A of finding a bullet, having two bullets in six chambers is:

$P(A)=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}=0.33$

For you to get shot in the second try but not the first, the barrel spin would have to stop precisely at one specific chamber: the one right before the bullets, so that probability would be:

$P(B)=\frac{1}{6}=0.17$

which means that this event is half as likely as finding a bullet every time the barrel is spun. Your chances are better if you pull the trigger for the second time without spinning the barrel.

Answer:

a. 2 7/9 miles

b. 21.6 minutes

c. 8 1/3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate at which Catlin runs can be determined from the graph by finding the coordinates of a grid point that lies on the line. The line goes through the origin, so the relationship between time and distance is proportional.

We see that the point (miles, minutes) = (1 2/3, 12) lies on the graph, so the contant of proportionality is ...

k = y/x = 12/(5/3) = 36/5 = 7.2 . . . . minutes/mile

The proportion can be written ...

distance/(20 minutes) = (1 mile)/(7.2 minutes)

distance = (20/7.2) miles = 2 7/9 miles

Catlin will run 2 7/9 miles in 20 minutes

The proportion can be written ...

time/(3 miles) = (7.2 minutes)/(1 mile)

time = (3)(7.2 minutes) = 21.6 minutes

Catlin was running 21.6 minutes

In 1 hour, Catlin will run 3 times as far as in 20 minutes. Using the result from part A, we find ...

3(2 7/9 miles) = 8 1/3 miles 8 1/3 miles

Catlin will run 8 1/3 miles in one hour.

<em>Additional comment</em>

Once we have a relationship between minutes and miles, we can write proportions with either of those numbers in the numerator or denominator. We find it convenient to put the unknown value in the numerator of a proportion, which is why the ratios are written differently in the different parts of the problem.
