Answer:

17m

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a picture for the situation:

__________15m___________

| |

b | | 8m

|________________________|

We can assume the floor is a rectangle. Cut the triangle diagonally in half.

The rectangles has all right angles and is composed of two right triangles.

Use the Pythagorean formula and solve for the length of the hypotenuse to find the distance between two the opposite corners. I labelled two of the sides a and b.

The formula is: a² + b² = c² , where c is the distance. Substitute the side lengths a and b and solve for c.

a² + b² = c²

15² + 8² = c²

Simplify:

225 + 64 = c²

c² = 289

c = √289

c = 17

The distance between two opposite corners on the floor is 17 metres.

Answer:

177 and 178

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the expression for the 2nd mile marker is x+1.

Now, you add x and x + 1 together to get 2x + 1

Next, make 2x + 1 equal to 355

Now subtract 1 and then divide by two on both sides to get x = 177.

This means that the first mile marker is 177 and the next is 178.

Answer:

4.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a can of paint contains contamination(C) is 3.23%

P(C)=3.23%

The probability of a mixing(M) error is 2.4%.

P(M)=2.4%

The probability of both is 1.03%.

$P(C \cap M)=1.03\%$

We want to determine the probability that a randomly selected can has contamination or a mixing error. i.e. $P(C \cup M)$

In probability theory:

$P(C \cup M) = P(C)+P(M)-P(C \cap M)\\P(C \cup M)=3.23+2.4-1.03\\P(C \cup M)=4.6\%$

The probability that a randomly selected can has contamination or a mixing error is 4.6%.

A is inbetween 2 and 4
B is inbetween 3 and 4
C is inbetween 4 and 5
D is inbetween 5 and 6

So the correct answer would be A B and C
