Step-by-step explanation:

Larval mosquitoes breath through trachea in their siphons. This is a structure analogous to the snorkel on a diesel electric submarine. It allows for gas exchange with the atmosphere while the remainder of the insect is submerged. The opening of the siphon is hydrophobic so it won’t get wet and blocked by water. This works well to keep the siphon and the trachea open under normal conditions. Oil when poured on water forms a thin film. When there are mosquitos in that water, when their siphons contact the oil layer, the oil wets and blocks their siphons and suffocates the mosquitoes. This works against most, but not all mossies, as evolution is an amazing process. Some mosquitoes (Mansonia, Coquilletidia) have a siphon designed to penetrate the air vessels in aquatic plants and they don’t need to come to the surface to breath like other mossies. So oil won’t work on these genera.

In circle O, what is mArc A E?

posledela

Answer:

Option (3). 120° will be the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the theorem of secants intersecting externally,

Measure of angle formed by two secants, from a point outside the circle is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

m∠C = $\frac{1}{2}(m\widehat{AE}-m\widehat{BD})$

36° = $\frac{1}{2}(m\widehat{AE}-48)$

72° = $m\widehat{AE}-48$ °

$m\widehat{AE}$ = 72 + 48

$m\widehat{AE}$ = 120°

Therefore, Option (3) is the answer.

find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 14.7 ft and a base with a circumference of 13 ft

Doss [256]

Answer:

Volume of the cone =650.06 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the cone= 14.7 feet

Circumference= 13 feet

Radius = 13/2 = 6.5 feet

Volume of the Cone:

$=\pi r^2\frac{h}{3}$

As, $\pi =\frac{22}{7}=3.14$

Putting the values in the formula:

Volume of the cone is :

$=3.14*(6.5*6.5)*\frac{14.7}{3} \\\\=3.14*(6.5*6.5)*4.9\\\\=3.14*42.25*4.9\\\\=3.14*207.03\\\\=650.06feet^3$

Volume of the cone is 650.06 cubic feet

A box contains 12 balls numbered 1 through 12. Two balls are drawn in succession without replacement. If the second ball has the

Nikitich [7]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

A box contains 12 balls numbered 1 through 12.

Also the ball are drawn without replacement.

a)

The probability that the first ball had a smaller number on it.

i.e. the number on the first ball could be: {1,2,3}

Hence, the probability that the first ball had a smaller number on it is:

$\dfrac{3}{12}=\dfrac{1}{4}=0.25$

b)

The probability that the first ball has a even number on it is:

There are total 6 even numbers {2,4,6,8,10,12}

but 4 can't be considered as it comes on the second draw, so we are left with just 5 balls with even number.

Hence, the probability is:

$\dfrac{5}{12}=0.4166$
