Answer:

18 + 22.5 = 40 + .5; confirms out solution

Step-by-step explanation:

A man travels from Town X to Town Y at an average rate of 50 mph and returns at an average rate of 40 mph. He takes a 1/2 hour longer than he would take if he made the round trip at an average of 45 mph. What is the distance from Town X to Town Y

:

Let d = distance from x to y

:

Write a time equation; time = distance%2Fspeed

Different speed roundtrip time = 1 speed roundtrip time + half/hour

d%2F50 + d%2F40 = 2d%2F45 + 1%2F2

Multiply equation by 1800 to get rid of the denominators:

1800*d%2F50 + 1800*d%2F40 = 1800*2d%2F45 + 1800*1%2F2

Cancel the denominators and you have:

:

36d + 45d = 40(2d) + 900

:

81d = 80d + 900

:

81d - 80d = 900

:

d = 900 miles from x to y

:

:

Check solution in: d%2F50 + d%2F40 = 2d%2F45 + 1%2F2

900%2F50 + 900%2F40 = 1800%2F45 + 1%2F2

18 + 22.5 = 40 + .5; confirms out solution

If the coefficient of correlation is .8, then the percentage of variation in the dependent variable explained by the estimated r
Olegator [25]

Answer:

64%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of variation in the dependent variable explained by the estimated regression is calculated with the coefficient of correlation as follows:

First, square the coefficient of correlation: 0.8^2 = 0.64

And then, multiply this result by 100, so that, it is expressed as a percentage: 0.64*100 = 64%

I don’t understand how to find the height
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

<u>height</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>3</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>ft</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

From trigonometric ratios:

\cos( \theta)  =  \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

but:

\theta = 90 \degree - 36 \degree \\  \theta = 54 \degree

adjacent is x

hypotenuse is 400 ft

\ \cos ( 54 \degree)  =  \frac{x}{400}  \\  \\ x = 400 \ \cos (54 \degree)  \\ x = 235 \: \:  feet
