2) A coin is flipped 60 times, resulting in 12 heads and 48 tails. What is the experimental probability of

Triangles Unit Test part 1 A length of rope is stretched between the top edge of a building and a stake in the ground. The head

musickatia [10]

Answer:

The building is 32 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the figure drawn below representing the given scenario.

AB represents the height of building, BC is the distance between the stake and building, C represents the stake at ground level, and DE represents the height of the tree growing halfway between building and stake.

Since the tree is growing halfway between B and C, therefore, the point E divides the line segment BC into 2 equal parts.

Therefore, $BE = EC$ or E is the midpoint of BC.

Also, from the figure, it is clear that both tree and building are vertical to the ground. So, DE || AB.

Now, from converse of mid-segment theorem, if a line passes through the midpoint of one side of a triangle and also parallel to the third side, then the line also passes through the midpoint of the second side and half the length of the third side (parallel side)

So,

$DE=\frac{1}{2}\times AB\\\\16=\frac{AB}{2}\\\\AB=16\times 2=32\ ft$

Therefore, the building is 32 feet tall.

Dave walked to his friends house at a rate of 4 mph and returned biking at a rate of 10 mph. If it took him 18 minutes longer to

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The total distance of the round trip was 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's check all the information given to answer the question correctly:

Speed of Dave walking to his friend's house = 4 mph

Speed of Dave biking from his friend's house = 10 mph

Time walking is 18 minutes longer than time biking

2. What was the total distance of the round trip?

Time walking = x

Time biking = x - 18

For solving x, we will use the following equation:

4x = 10 * (x - 18)

4x = 10x - 180

-6x = - 180

x = -180/-6 (Dividing by - 6)

x = 30

Dave walked 30 minutes and biked 12 minutes, now we can calculate the total distance, this way:

30 minutes = 0.5 hours and 12 minutes = 0.2 hours

Total distance = 4 *0.5 + 10 * 0.2

Total distance = 2 + 2

Total distance = 4 miles.

How do you find direct variation. I’m having trouble understanding some of these examples.

Rufina [12.5K]

Direct variation is a relation that has the form

y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality.

If you are told that a relation is a direct proportion, and you are given one data point, you can find k. The you can write the equation of the direct relation.

Here is an example.
The price of gasoline follows a direct variation.
John bought 5 gallons of gas and paid $15.
a) Write an equation for the relation.
b) Using the relation you found, how much do 13.8 gallons cost?

Solution:
Since the relation is a direct variation, it follows the general equation of a direct variation:

y = kx

We are given one data point, 5 gallons cost $15.
We plug in 5 for x and 15 for y and we find k.

y = kx
15 = k * 5
k = 3

Now that we know that k = 3, we rewrite the relation using our value of k.

y = 3x

This is the answer to part a).

Part b)

We use our relation, y = 3x, and we plug in 13.8 into x and find y.

y = 3x

y = 3 * 13.8

y = 41.4

The price of 15 gallons of gas is $41.40.
