Answer:

The angle is 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we consider the system below (were "A"is the angle):

A + [(x/2)-14] = 90 (complement)

A + x = 180 (suplement)

We can isolate "X=180 - A" and apply this in the first equation. This way we are able to have only one variable, and w'll see that A=28.

A grocery store will only accept yellow onions that are at least 2.75 in. In diameter. A grower has a crop of onions with diamet

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate z-score firstly

z-score = (x-mean)/SD = (2.75-2.5)/0.25 = 0.25/0.25 = 1

P( x greater than or equal to 2.75) = P(z greater than or equal to 1)

= 1 - p(z <1)

P(z<1) from table = 0.84134

1-p(z<1) = 0.15866 or 15.866%

Which of the following points are more than 5 units from the point P(−2, −2)? Select all that apply. A A (2, 1) B B (4, −1) C C

The distance between any 2 points P(a,b) and Q(c,d) in the coordinate plane, is given by the formula:<span>

<span> $|PQ|= \sqrt{ (a-c)^{2} + (b-d)^{2}}$ </span></span>

Using this formula we calculate the distances |PA|, |PB|, |PC|, |PD| and |PE| and compare to 5.

$|PA|= \sqrt{ (-2-2)^{2} + (-2-1)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+9}= \sqrt{25}=5$

$|PB|= \sqrt{ (-2-4)^{2} + (-2+1)^{2}}= \sqrt{36+1}= \sqrt{37} \approx 6$

$|PC|= \sqrt{ (-2-2)^{2} + (-2+3)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+1}= \sqrt{17}\approx4$

$|PD|= \sqrt{ (-2+6)^{2} + (-2+6)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+16}= \sqrt{32}\ \textgreater \ \sqrt{25}=5$

$|PE|= \sqrt{ (-2+5)^{2} + (-2-1)^{2}}= \sqrt{9+9}= \sqrt{16}=4$

Answer: B and D
