Answer:

E. 300

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle split in half diagonally yields 2 right triangles.

((For this problem, you are probably supposed to use the pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal length, and then calculate perimeter (length of fence around triangular field). In other words:

(sqrt( (50m)^2 + (120m)^2 )) + 50m + 120m)

))

By definition, the hypotenuse (diagonal) is the longest side.

This means that it must be longer than 120m.

If you add the 2 sides (50m + 120m), you get 170m.

Since the third side has to be longer than 120m, the answer _must_ be over 290m (170m + 120m).

300m is the only answer that fits.

Answer:

4 liters of 5% solution and 16 liters of 17.5% solution we need.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that x liters of 5% solution and y liters of 17.5% solution are taken.

So, x + y = 20 ........ (1)

As the final solution is of 15%, so we can write

\frac{\frac{5x}{100}+ \frac{17.5y}{100}}{x + y} = \frac{15}{100}

⇒ 5x + 17.5y = 300 ......... (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2)  we get,  

17.5y - 5y = 200

⇒ 12.5y = 200

⇒ y = 16 liters

Hence, x = 20 - y = 4 liters.

Therefore, 4 liters of 5% solution and 16 liters of 17.5% solution we need. (Answer)

Bob worked for four hours at the sporting good store and earned $8.25 per hour then he shoveled snow for two hours and earned $1
Komok [63]

Answer:

$8.33 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

4(8.25) = $33 earned at the sporting goods store

2(10) = $20 earned shoveling snow

$53 = total earned in 6 hr.

53/6 = $8.33 per hour to nearest penny

$53/6 = exact amount earned per hour

True or false: the lateral surface of cone a is exactly 1/2 the lateral surface area of cylinder b
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that,

The cone A has the length of the lateral side = h and the height of the cylinder  B = h.

Since, the lateral surface areas are given by,

Lateral surface area of cone = \pi r\times l, where l is the length of the lateral side.

So, we get L_{A} = \pi r\times h.

Also, Lateral surface area of cylinder is 2\pi r\times h, where h is the height of the cylinder.

So, we get L_{B} = 2\pi r\times h

Thus, we see that, L_{A}=\frac{1}{2}\times L_{B}

Hence, the given statement is correct.

According to the American Lung Association, 7% of the population has lung disease. Of those having lung disease, 90% are smokers
postnew [5]

Answer:

Probability that a smoker has lung disease = 0.2132

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = event that % of population having lung disease, P(L) = 0.07

So,% of population not having lung disease, P(L') = 1 - P(L) = 1 - 0.07 = 0.93

S = event that person is smoker

% of population that are smokers given they are having lung disease, P(S/L) = 0.90

% of population that are smokers given they are not having lung disease, P(S/L') = 0.25

We know that, conditional probability formula is given by;

                        P(S/L) = \frac{P(S\bigcap L)}{P(L)}  

                        P(S\bigcap L) = P(S/L) * P(L)

                                      = 0.90 * 0.07 = 0.063

So,  P(S\bigcap L) = 0.063 .

Now, probability that a smoker has lung disease is given by = P(L/S)

      P(L/S) = \frac{P(S\bigcap L)}{P(S)}

P(S) = P(S/L) * P(L) + P(S/L') * P(L')

       = 0.90 * 0.07 + 0.25 * 0.93 = 0.2955

Therefore, P(L/S) = \frac{0.063}{0.2955} = 0.2132

Hence, probability that a smoker has lung disease is 0.2132 .
