We need to find the absolute value of these numbers to see which one is closer to the surface of the ocean. The surface of the ocean is at 0.

Trina : | - 85.5 | = 85.5 meters from 0
Jessie : | 87.9 | = 87.9 meters from 0

so Trina is closer to 0 then Jessie is. <==
The reason we took the absolute value of these numbers, is because that is what the absolute value does...it tells us how many spaces away from 0 it is.

Which best represents the center of the data set below?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer: mean = 318.3

Median =330

Mode= 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean (average) is the total sum of values in a given a data set ÷ number of values

= 3820/12

Mean= 318.3

Median= midpoint value in a given data set. When the data set is an even number, median is calculated with the 2 middle point values as n1 + n2/2

Step 1: we rearranged the data set from least to highest value to give

200,200,220, 240,300,320,340,360,380,400,420 and 440

Median= 320 + 340/2

=660/2 = 340

Mode is the value with highest frequency in a given data set, from the given question, mode = 200

A rectangle with an area of 240 in2 has a length 10 inches shorter than five times its width. Which equation could be used to so
almond37 [142]
L = 5W - 10
5W = L + 10
W = 1/5(L + 10)
Area = L x W
240 = L(1/5(L + 10)
L^2 + 10L = 240(5) = 1200
L^2 + 10L - 1,200 = 0

A ramp is used to load a snowmobile onto the back of a pickup truck. The truck bed is 1.3m above the ground. For safety, the ang
kiruha [24]

Answer:

2.02 m

or 2 m 2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine a triangle containing the 40° angle and that this angle is at the left.  Then the height of the truck bed is 1.3 m and the "shortest possible length of the ramp" is the hypotenuse of this triangle.  We need to find the length of this ramp, that is, the length of the hypotenuse.  

The sine function relates this 40° angle and the 1.3 m height of the truck bed:

sin 40° = opp / hyp = 1.3 m / hyp

which can be solved for 'hyp' as follows:

              1.3 m

hyp = ----------------- = (1.3 m) / 0.6428)

             sin 40°

                                                                                  1.3 m

Thus, the length of the ramp must be less than -------------- or 2.02 m

                                                                                 0.6428

where this last result is to the nearest cm.

If the ramp is shorter the angle of the ramp will be smaller and the ramp angle considered safer.
