An athletics squad trains on a long straight track with dots marked at 10m intervals. The coach sets out cones on some of the do

ts for the squad's sprint training drills. She wants the squad to be able to run any distance which is a multiple of 10m, up to some maximum distance which depends on the number of cones.
Explain why it is not possible to place four cones A, B, C, D, in a line so that each multiple of 10m up to 70m can be run between two of the cones.

Answer:

There are 6 ways to run 10 m between two cones of the four cones giving a maximum available distance to run as 60 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are

Distance between two cones = 10 m

Number of cones = 4

Therefore, number of ways to choose two 10 m distances (distance between two cones) from the four cones = \binom{4}{2} = 6

Hence there are only six 10 m distances to run between two cones which gives a maximum distance available to run as 60 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Hello</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>there</em><em>!</em><em>!</em><em>!</em>

<em>Let</em><em> </em><em>ABC</em><em> </em><em>be</em><em> </em><em>a Right angled triangle</em><em>, </em>

<em>where</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>AB</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>3</em>

<em>BC</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em>

<em>and</em><em> </em><em>AC</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>x</em>

<em>now</em><em>,</em>

<em>As</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>triangle</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>Right angled triangle</em><em>, </em><em>taking</em><em> </em><em>angle C</em><em> </em><em>as</em><em>refrence</em><em> </em><em>angle</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>get</em><em>,</em>

<em> </em><em>h</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>AC</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>x</em>

<em>p</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>AB</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>3</em>

<em>b</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>BC</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em>

<em>now</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>Pythagoras</em><em> </em><em>relation we get</em><em>, </em>

<em>h =    \sqrt{ {p}^{2} +  {b}^{2}  }</em>

<em>or ,\: h =  \sqrt{ {3}^{2}  +  {10}^{2} }</em>

<em>by</em><em> </em><em>simplifying it we get</em><em>, </em>

<em>h</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>4</em><em>4</em><em>0</em><em>3</em><em>0</em>

SOS PLZ IDK THIS VERY WELL NEED HELP
zaharov [31]

Answer:

1. a. 25(1) + 10(2) + 3(3) + 10(4) = 94/140 = .671

2. b. Mark’s average < Jay’s average

Step-by-step explanation:

1. What is Mark’s slugging average?

The slugging average gives more weight to the multi-base hits (compared to single-base hits) in opposition with the batting average.

So, a single hit is worth 1 point, a double is worth 2 points, a triple 3 points and a homerun is worth 4 points.  It's a weighted average calculation.

Mark had 25 singles, 10 doubles, 3 triples and 10 homeruns during 140 presences 140 at bat.

25(1) + 10(2) + 3(3) + 10(4) = 94/140 = .671

2. How does Mark's average compares to Jay's?

Let's first calculate Jay's slugging average then we'll be able to decide.

Jay had 10 singles, 6 doubles, 5 triples and 14 homeruns in 90 presences.

10 (1) + 6 (2) + 5 (3) + 14 (4) = 10+12+15+56 = 93 / 90 = 1.033

We can definitely say that Mark's slugging average (0.671) calculated above is lower than Jay's average (1.033).  So,

b. Mark’s average < Jay’s average

Twice a certain number is tripled. The resulting number is​
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

6x the number.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Twice a certain number" means that you are multiplying that number (x) by 2.

"Tripled" means that the number (x) would be further multiplied by 3.

Simplify: 3 x 2 = 6

The resulting number would be 6x greater than the original number.
