Answer:

a. Speed of flight * ( total spent away from hive - time stayed on flower bed)

b. The flower bed is 2,400 ft from the hive

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Mathematically, the distance will be ;

the speed * time taken

Given that he stays a total of 17 minutes away from the hive and he stayed 15 minutes in the flower bed, the time it used on the flower bed will be 17 minutes - 15 minutes = 2 minutes

So the distance from the flower bed to the hive is;

Speed of flight * ( total spent away from hive - time stayed on flower bed)

b. We want to find the distance of the flower bed from the hive

That will be;

20 ft per second * 2 minutes (120 seconds)

= 20 * 120 = 2,400 ft

Employment Projections Job Number of People (2002) Projection (2012) Percent Change Nursing Aides 1,375,000 1,718,000 25 Custome
Vitek1552 [10]
The correct answer is D. NURSING AIDES HAD FEWER PEOPLE IN 2002.

<span>Employment Projections
Job                      Number of People (2002)          Projection (2012)          Percent Change
Nursing Aides               1,375,000                             1,718,000                      25
Customer Service         1,894,000                             2,354,000                      24

(1,718,000 - 1,375,000) / 1,375,000 = 343,000 / 1,375,000 = 0.249 or 0.25 or 25%
(2,354,000 - 1,894,000) / 1,894,000 = 460,000 / 1,894,000 = 0.242 or 0.24 or 24%

The base number is the number of people in 2002. There is a higher percent change in number for nursing aides despite having lesser people added because its base number is lower than those in customer service. </span>

In triangle PQR, Line QS and line SR are angle bisectors to angle P (74 degrees). How many Degrees are in the angle QSR.
AlexFokin [52]

we know that

<u>in the triangle PQR</u>

m∠PQR+m∠QPR+m∠QRP=180°------> the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees

(m∠PQR+m∠QRP)+74°=180°-------> (m∠PQR+m∠QRP)=106°

we know that

If QS and SR are angle bisectors

then

<u>In the triangle QSR</u>

m∠SQR+m∠QSR+m∠QRS=180°-------> equation 1

and

(m∠SQR+m∠QRS)=106°/2--------> (m∠SQR+m∠QRS)=53°

substitute the value of (m∠SQR+m∠QRS)=53° in the equation 1

53°+m∠QSR=180°

m∠QSR=180°-53°-------->m∠QSR= 27°

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The measure of angle QSR is  27 degrees
