Answer:

7/15 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the least common denominator between the two fractions. The least common denominator in this case would be 15, so you have to multiply 1/3 by 5 to have a denominator of 15. Then you multiply 1/5 by 3 to have a denominator of 15. You will find that Mark ran a distance of 2 5/15 km and Shaun ran 3 3/15 km. To make it even easier, you can add the whole number back into the fraction so Mark will have ran 35/15 km and Shaun will have ran 48/15 km meaning that Shaun will have ran more. Then you set you fractions up and subtract them.

Is segment ST tangent to circle P1
malfutka [58]

Answer:

B . Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: a tangent of a circle is perpendicular to the radius of a circle, forming a right angle at the point of tangency.

Therefore, if segment ST is tangent to circle P, it means that m<T = 90°, and ∆PST is a right triangle.

To know if ∆PST is a right triangle, the side lengths should satisfy the Pythagorean triple rule, which is:

c² = a² + b², where,

c = longest side (hypotenuse) = 37

a = 12

b = 35

Plug in the value

37² = 12² + 35²

1,369 = 1,369 (true)

Therefore we can conclude that ∆PST is a right triangle, this implies that m<T = 90°.

Thus, segment ST is a tangent to circle P.

If θ is a first-quadrant angle in standard position with P(u, v) = (3, 4), evaluate cos 2 θ . -7/25 -1/5 7/25
Grace [21]

Answer:

-7/25.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given point P we see that the hypotenuse =  √(3*2 + 4^2) = 5.

So cos  θ = 3/5

cos 2 θ =  2 cos^2 θ - 1

= 2 * (3/5)^2 -1

= -7/25.

You have 896 grams of a radioactive
Margarita [4]

Every 56 seconds, the radioactive substance is divided in half.

224 / 56 = 4

We need to cut the substance in half 4 times.

896 / 2 = 448

448 / 2 = 224

224 / 2 = 112

112 / 2 = 56

After 224 seconds, there will be 56 grams of the radioactive substance left over
