Answer:

Car = 10 miles/hour

Bus = 20 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

Let, the value of the speed of the bus = X

the value of the speed of the car = 2X - 30 (As the speed of the car is 30mph slower than twice)

According to the question,

2X - 20 = 2*(2x-30)

or, 2X - 20 = 4X-60

or, 2X = 40

x = 20

Therefore, the speed of the bus, x = 20 miles/hour

So, the speed of the car is (2*20-30) mph = (40 - 30) mph = 10 miles/hour.

Assume that the lines that appear to be tangent are tangent p is the center if each circle find x. ​
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem One

All quadrilaterals have angles that add up to 360 degrees.

Tangents touch the circle in such a way that the radius and the tangent form a  right angle at the point of contact.

Solution

x + 115 + 90 + 90 = 360

x + 295 = 360

x + 295 - 295 = 360 - 295

x = 65

Problem Two

From the previous problem, you know that where the 6 and 8 meet is a right angle.

Therefore you can use a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 6

b =8

c = ?

6^2 + 8^2 = c^2

c^2 = 36 + 64

c^2 = 100

sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(100)

c = 10

x = 10

Problem 3

No guarantees on this one. I'm not sure how the diagram is set up. I take the 4 to be the length from the bottom of the line marked 10 to the intersect point of the tangent with the circle.

That means that the measurement left is 10 - 4 = 6

x and 6 are both tangents from the upper point of the line marked 10.

Therefore x = 6

True or false: the standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
Vilka [71]
Why not look up "standard deviation" yourself, to be sure?  But yes, the std. dev. is the sqrt of the variance.
