<h3>What is the Area of a Polygon?</h3>

The area of a polygon is one that is defined as the measurement of the given area that is known to be covered by it.

Note that to calculate the area, it will be

Area = 1/2 (5 + 1) x 3 = 9 units²

Thus the answer of 9 units is correct.

Charlie guesses that his dog weighs 34. 5 pounds. The dog actually weighs 32. 7 pounds. What is the percent error in Charlie’s g

expeople1 [14]

Percent error is the amount of error to actual value, in percent. The percent error in Charlie’s guess is approximately: Option D: 5.5%

<h3>How to calculate the percent error?</h3>

Suppose the actual value and the estimated values after the measurement are obtained. Then we have:

Error = Actual value - Estimated value

To calculate percent error, we will measure how much percent of actual value, the error is, in the estimated value.

$\rm Percent \: Error = |\dfrac{Error}{Actual value}|\times 100 \\\\Percent \: Error = | \dfrac{\text{(Actual Value - Estimated Value)}}{Actual value}|\times 100 \\$

(here |x| is such that it makes x non negative, thus, |-5| = 5, and |5| = 5)

For the given case, it is specified that:

Actual weight of dog = 32.7 pounds

Guessed weight of dog, by Charlie : 34.5 pounds.

Error = 32.7 - 34.5 = -1.8 pounds

Thus, percent error in Charlie's guess is calculated as:

$\text{Percent Error} = |\dfrac{-1.8}{32.7}| \times 100 \approx 5.5\%$

Hence, the percent error in Charlie’s guess is obtained approximately is given by: Option D: 5.5%

Two of the 240 passengers are chosen at random. Find the probability that

hjlf

Step-by-step explanation:

there are in total 240 passengers.

out of these 240, there are 150+30=180 passengers that are in holiday.

and 240-180 = 60 passengers are not.

if we pick one passenger then the probability is 180/240 = 3/4 = 0.75 that he/she is on holiday.

remember : desired "events" over total "events".

i)

now we pick 2 passengers.

the probabilty for the first one to be on holiday is again

3/4 or 0.75.

if that event happens, then we have only 179 passengers out of now 239 to be on holiday.

and to pick one out of that pool to be on holiday is then

179/239 = 0.748953975...

and for both events to happen in one scenario we need to multiply both probabilities (it is an "and" relation, while an addition would be for an "exclusive or" relation).

the probabilty that we pick 2 passengers on holiday is

3/4 × 179/239 = 0.561715481... ≈ 0.5617

we cannot simply square the basic probability of 0.75 (0.75² = 0.5625), because that would mean we pick one passenger, then put him back into the crowd, and then pick a second time (with a chance to pick the same person again). like with rolling a die.

but that is not the scenario as I understand it. it is to pick a passenger, then keep that person singled out and pick a second passenger. hence the difference.

ii)

exactly one of the two is in holiday.

that means

either the first one is on holiday and the second one is not, or the the second one is and the first one is not.

now we model this logic statement in probabilty arithmetic.

please note that after the first pull we need to update the numbers for the remaining pool depending on the result of the first pull.

the total remaining is in both cases 239. but either the remaining people on holiday go down to 179 (and not in holiday stays 60), or the remaining people not on holiday go down to 59 (and on holiday stays 180).

so, the first one is on holiday, and the second one is not :

3/4 × 60/239 (remember : "and" relation)

= 3 × 15/239 = 45/239 = 0.188284519...

the first one is not on holiday, and the second one is :

60/240 × 180/239 = 1/4 × 180/239 = 45/239 =

= 0.188284519...

since there is no overlap of the potential events (there is no event that could be in both cases), this is an exclusive or relation, and we can add the probabilities.

so, the probability for exactly one of the picked passengers to be on holiday is

2×0.188284519... = 0.376569038... ≈ 0.3766

Write the standard form of the equation for the circle that passes through the points (2,31),(-15,14),(33,0)

stepladder [879]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin with the standard form of a circle as a conic:

$Ax^2+Bxy+Cy^2+Dx+Ey+F=0$

For a circle, A and C will be the exact same, and B will equal 0. If B is non-zero, the equation represents a rotation of a conic, which is reserved for college-level courses. Shortening this, then:

$x^2+y^2+Dx+Ey+F=0$ is good enough for us for this. Start with the first point on the circle, (2, 31) and fill in the equation above with x and y:

$2^2+31^2+2D+31E+F=0$ which simplifies down to:

$(1):2D+31E+F=-965$

Do the same with the next point on the circle, (-15, 14):

$-15^2+14^2-15D+14E+F=0$ which simplifies down to:

$(2):-15D+14E+F=0$

Do the same with the last point, (33, 0):

$33^2+0^2+33D+0E+F=0$ which simplifies down to:

$(3):33D+F=-1089$

Now we will add (1) and (2) to get (4):

2D + 31E + F = -965

-15D + 14E + F = -421

Multiply the top equatio by -1 to get rid of the F terms:

-2D - 31E - F = 965

-15D + 14E + F = -421

which simplifies to

(4): -17D - 17E = 544

Now add (2) and (3) to get (5):

-15D + 14E + F = -421

33D + F = -1089

Multiply the bottom equation by -1 to get rid of the F terms:

-15D + 14E + F = -421

-33D - F = 1089

which simplifies to

(5): -48D + 14E = 668

Now add (4) and (5) together and eliminate the E terms:

-17D - 17E = 544

-48D + 14E = 668

In order to eliminate the E terms, multiply the top equation by 14 and the bottom equation by 17 to solve for D:

-238D - 238E = 7616

-816D + 238E = 11356

Which gives you that

D = -18

Now plug the value for D into (4) to find E:

-17(-18) - 17E = 544 and

306 - 17E = 544 and

-17E = 238 so

E = -14

Now plug the values for both D and E into (1) to find F:

2(-18) + 31(-14) + F = -965 and

-36 - 434 + F = -965 and

-470 + F = -965 so

F = -495

Now we can fill in the standard form of the conic:

$x^2+y^2-18x-14y=495$

but we're not done til we complete the square on both the x terms and the y terms (and I am assuming you know how to complete the square):

$(x^2-18x+81)+(y^2-14y+49)=495+81+49$ which simplifies to

$(x-9)^2+(y-7)^2=625$

The second choice down matches that equation, but the center they have there is not correct. The center of that circle is (9, 7) and they have it as being (7, 10) with a radius of 5. The radius is 25. The center is wrong in the equation that represents the circle as is the radius. Maybe let someone know that...

There is a group of 10 people who are ordering pizza. If each person gets 2 slices and each pizza has 4 slices, how many pizzas

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

5 pizzas

Step-by-step explanation: If you have 10 people and each will get two slices then you will need 20 pieces of pizza because 10x2 is 20. If each pizza has 4 slices then you will need 5 pizzas because 4/20 is 5.
