Answer:

y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the 2 triangles are similar,

hence we can write the following relationship based on the length of each side.

3/(3+6) = x / (x+y)

3/9 = x / (x+y)

1/3 = x / (x+y)

(x+y) = 3x -----------(1)

By observing the hypotenuse of both triangles, we can see that

(x + y) = 15 -----------(2)

we can substitute this into equation (1) above to get:

15 = 3x

x = 15/3 = 5 (substitute this back into eq (2) to find y)

(x + y) = 15

(5+y) = 15

y = 15-5

y = 10

Jen picked 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in half an hour. If she keeps picking strawberries at the same rate, how many gallons

Ratling [72]

Hello!

3/4 = 0.75 as a decimal

We know that Jen picks 0.75 of a gallon of strawberries in half an hour, and now we want to find out how many gallons she'll pick in 2 hours.

Half an hour = 0.5 2 ÷ 0.5 = 4 There are four half hours in 2 hours.

0.75 × 4 = 3

ANSWER:

Jen will have picked 3 gallons of strawberries in 2 hours.

If n is a positive integer, how many 5-tuples of integers from 1 through n can be formed in which the elements of the 5-tuple ar

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

$\frac{(n+4)*(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)*n}{120}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5 tuples implies that:

$n = 5$

$(h,i,j,k,m)$ implies that:

$r = 5$

Required

How many 5-tuples of integers $(h, i, j, k,m)$ are there such that $n\ge h\ge i\ge j\ge k\ge m\ge 1$

From the question, the order of the integers h, i, j, k and m does not matter. This implies that, we make use of combination to solve this problem.

Also considering that repetition is allowed: This implies that, a number can be repeated in more than 1 location

So, there are n + 4 items to make selection from

The selection becomes:

$^{n}C_r => ^{n + 4}C_5$

$^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)!}{(n+4-5)!5!}$

$^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)!}{(n-1)!5!}$

Expand the numerator

$^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)!(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)*n*(n-1)!}{(n-1)!5!}$

$^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)*(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)*n}{5!}$

$^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)*(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)*n}{5*4*3*2*1}$

$^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)*(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)*n}{120}$

Answer:

C) 405.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three angles and three sides. Types of triangle are scalene, isosceles, equilateral, right angled triangle.

Given a triangle with angles A, B, C and the corresponding sides directly opposite to the angles as a, b, c. The sine rule states that:

$\frac{a}{sin(A)}= \frac{b}{sin(B)} =\frac{c}{sin(C)}$

In the triangle formed by point C, ship B and ship A, we have ∠A = 82°, ∠B = 78°, c = AB = 140 ft. Hence:

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)

82 + 78 + ∠C = 180

∠C + 160 = 180

∠C = 20°

Using sine rule:

$\frac{c}{sin(C)}=\frac{a}{sin(A)}\\\\\frac{140}{sin(20)}=\frac{a}{sin(82)}\\\\a= \frac{140*sin (82)}{sin(20)}\\\\a=405.3\ ft$

a = distance from Ship B to the signal fire at point C
